    Consider being the key word, the article says they’re willing to start a discussion on it, with the majority being against it.

    IMO it’s always good to consider whether policies need to be updated though, even if the answer is that they don’t.

      I think it’s good to regularly check such things anyway, both as a person and on a national level.

      Things, groups or people you (dis)liked/(dis)agreed with previously, can easily do something amazing/awful since you last paid attention to them, or the situation or context can have changed since - and holding onto older views of “I like this” or “I think this is rubbish” can feel very wrong very quickly.

      There’s this attitude in our politics that reassessing a situation with new information is “doing a u-turn” and “is weak” - whereas really, stupidly clinging onto an opinion which steadily gets wronger and wronger and refusing to consider new or additional information or context is obviously far stupider.

      For example, on a personal level, rather than assuming that Piers Morgan is still a cunt - I quickly check to see what he’s done or said recently.

      Piers Morgan is still a cunt and ID cards are shit.
