I never gave my opinion one way or the other on their actions.

You have a vivid imagination.

Edit, I did say it's all a bit of Kabuki theater. Not sure how that translates into any particular position other than I see it as more silly posturing and pandering that will result in some silly reactions.

But no rants about 'statism'', personal choice and government overreach.

Like jazz it's sometimes about the notes not played.

I much prefer Haagen Dazs or the much cheaper Carte D'oR.

So I took no side...

Sometimes I like to be like Switzerland and simply observe how others lock horns and not pick a side..

He thinks, "you cannot have peace if you undermine economic reality and create division...". Interesting!

Maybe he's fine with foreigners building homes in his back garden and stealing his land.

I'm not usually an ice cream fan but a nice tub of Ben & Jerry's is suddenly quite appealing

Yes I can see that

Ben & Jerry's is very rich and a full tub would be too much for someone with no friends.

I've never seen any let alone tasted it. :oops:

How different is it to other ice cream? I have to admit my preference is genuine Cornish or Devonshire ice cream which is hard and creamy yellow in colour but it's not sold where I live.
