They'll debunk it because, you know, the BBC is too liberal.

So hear it from the horse's.....mouth...

So The Lighthouse will definitely be performed at her concerts, even though it tanked and did nothing commercially. Unless she's made money from the 1.5 million YouTube views.

Given how rare it's become for a Republican to win the popular vote, it's strange that they can't just enjoy that victory...without having to pretend that winning by 1.6% or whatever it ends up being is some kind of landslide.

Republicans are enjoying the victory. It's Democrats who keep bringing up the margin of victory as a form of coping - "Oh, he didn't win by that much!!!" Well, a win is a win, and Democrats can't hold the popular vote over him now.

Trying to change the subject in this thread…..

And in other news…..

The UK is going to start charging a death estate tax on farms that have been in families for hundreds of years…..

Is it to break up the farms so they are forced to sell the land and then the new landowners get it rezoned from AQ to REZ and put up ghastly rows of low quality homes forever dotting the lovely UK countryside?

So she said (on waiting until 70 to vote): “I Regret That, and I Don’t Have Very Many Regrets”.

Does anyone remember any other regrets she mentioned? In any other interview?

there are very few truly small family farms left anywhere in the UK or the US. They are worth millions....even if they are still family owned. The size and scope of a "family" farm today bears no resemblance to what they were when they were founded. They are multi-million pound/dollar businesses. If anyone else wants to leave properties to their kids that are worth multiple millions, they have to pay taxes. Nothing different.

It’s interesting how polarized the human race is. There will never be world peace. If there were only two people left on the planet they would still disagree and defend their stance and fight until there is only one person left. That person would then be their own worst enemy.

To be fair, you chose to introduce this topic in a Stevie Nicks forum and now you're disappointed that someone has responded to you with additional information on the topic?

I was not disappointed. I didn’t have an emotional response. I was simply pointing out the polarization of the human race. (You proved my point, thank you!)

I’ll stay on topic of Stevie….so her friend Taylor Swift’s boyfriend’s team quarterback was fined $14,069 for a finger gesture (not the middle finger). Has the over sensitivity of our society gone too far when pointing two fingers in celebration is considered emulating a violent gesture? Or should it be considered acceptable to not allow any expression that “offends someone”?

This is a tax that very persons estate is libel for, in the UK.
Ordinary householders pay 40% Farmers are being asked to pay just 20%
Why should they be exempt ?

It will only affect farms worth over £1 million
Ordinary householders will be due if their estate is worth £325,0000
I would say farmers are getting the best deal here..

Interesting, I didn’t know it was only 20% -that makes sense. I wonder why they are protesting when they are in fact getting a better deal than the family that owns a manor estate that does not bring in income.

Basically because they can, we live in a democracy..
Plus someone else must be looking after their cherished farm.

So Stevie performed this month at a fundraiser for the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's disease research and it doesn't appear she sang The Lighthouse.

Perhaps she's not confident in that song. I never heard it on SiriusXM and it's not spoken about anymore in the media.

Like a fart in a whirlwind, and Stevie's memory, poof, it's gone.
