Remember, those who are top downers fear what will happen if we have "more" refugees and asylum seekers. The "top to bottom" narrative gives all the reasons they have made up and cling to in order to, they believe, prevent what they fear.

The liars are those who encourage and provide fake substantiation for the fake "facts.

Why would anyone admit to top to bottom?

So well written

I am These are people just like us that line resonated with me.

Definitely bottom to top.

If you don't think anyone would say they are a top to bottom person Bluebelle, you should listen to a programme that was on Radio 4 at 9.30 a.m. It was called The Age of Denial - The Threat to Progress.

I explains how people justify holding views contrary to proven facts/knowledge. It tells us a great deal about our current problems.

Some people are so clever aren't they. Bottom to top for me.

BlueBelle

Bottom to top, full on
I m am daily conscious that I have had no control in where I was born and could be one of those women giving their precious baby away to a soldier in the hope they would survive
However I doubt anyone on here would dare to say therapy were a top to bottom person would they !!

Oh I don’t know. Many have in the past. I would not expect such moral cowardice from egoists as they generally have no self awareness, so do not understand empathy or humanitarianism.

The excuse is generally “look after our own first”

But if course they don’t really mean that as people like Raab and Patel like to think that the poor are undeserving as being the worst idlers in the world.

Thank you for that Whitewavemark2, I am most definitely a ' bottom to top'
person.

This should help you decide whether you are a humanitarian or a self centred, selfish, self obsessed egoist

How clever !

Reflecting GN exactly - reading it top to bottom or bottom to top.

Which are you?
