On the basis that they are not entitled to limited liability. It’s an enormous grant from the public. We have every right to add conditions.

I am going to ask a third time, on what basis? "Because" is not a justification and you're going to have to do better than that. If you cannot provide a justification then you cannot even begin to establish that it is in the public's best interest.

I explained, you pretend I did not.

You said "because we give them limited liability". I know you are capable of understanding why that isn't a reason. It does not even reference the proposition in question. I guess you are not interested in actually defending this proposition, and that is fine. I'm going to turn my attention away from your pointless interjection now and just talk to OP, who actually took the time to engage.

You are exhausting. You should probably not go out in public.

You don't seem capable of having this conversation, please take the negativity and insults elsewhere.
