Niall is very patient. He explains i. Full. As to why Brits thought it was a good idea? As a Brit I think Niall agrees. The idea of British Exceptionalism didn't go away when the Empire did. Many Brits just think they're special and better than anyone else. It's really that simple.

These are two UK politicians of different parties agreeing to co-operate on an important issue. MAGA hate this one cheat.

This. Is. Perfect.

Quite proud of this one.

I've only now just realised that in Glasgow a "serious rebuttal" of an argument, in philosophical terms, is just a more violent headbutt than the one which was inflicted a few moments before.

Attn folks in Delaware, Nevada, New Hampshire, Maine, & Michigan! Your Dem Senators are also getting a LOT of pressure to cut a deal to end the shutdown- by ditching healthcare. Reach out & let them know healthcare must be fixed first! Names & phone numbers below.

So many issues of our times can only be solved with cooperation. Some countries have realised this, others still dream of being in charge and forcing the rest to dance to their tune. The world doesn’t work like that anymore. Even the US is starting to get a lesson to that effect.

More #RussianCrimes This morning, a Russian drone struck a private kindergarten in Kharkiv’s Kholodnohirskyi district, injuring several children and staff members.​ All children were evacuated. 1 person was killed and 5 other injured. news.liga.net/en/politics/...

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death. adamisacson.com/boat-strikes/

Pregnant women detained by ICE report horrifying treatment: shackling, solitary confinement, no prenatal vitamins, inadequate food. ICE's own directives and regulations require the agency to avoid detention of pregnant people in the first place. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Vaguely disappointed that no Corbynite took the bait on that one with the official line (at the time) that is was "just a normal honorific greeting" . I know what he _went on_ to say too...it got so much worse..

"let them eat ballrooms" is certainly a take.

This looks like the NI Protocol working as intended. The bureaucracy of course is not pointless. It is there to protect European citizens from substandard or harmful products, and not just from the UK. Perhaps M&S should blame Brexit and UKG instead? 1

I'm not a lawyer but one thing I do know is that skeptical questions aren't a bad sign. The justice disagrees and invites the other party to convince them they are wrong. But this is modern #scotus. Majority fairly bought and paid for. So anyone's guess.

So Trump is a King. That's your whole argument.

You head the man. If you want a paycheck you have to have a king. I think the last time somebody in the USA said that, some people in Boston chucked some tea into the sea.

Give what you can. This war is against Ukraine but it's really against everyone who stands against fascism.

Slept for 3 hours and have woken up more tired than when I went to sleep. Fuck #mecfs

Maybe the less nazi tories should take their party back then??

The USA is embracing fascism faster than Putin used Kompromat on Trump.

Another problem with calling out a "genocide" from day one is that because it was so plainly untrue, that the (now) proposed ethnic cleansing will be seen by many people as just more anti-Israel propaganda by the usual suspects. Making false claims enables abuse.

Oh dear. Alex, who is usually sensible, did the genocide slur. Disappointing. Criticise Israel by all means. Just don't make stuff up and pretend it's real. It hurts Palestinian rights. And yes Alex, telling lies about the only Jewish state can be seen as antisemitic. For incredibly obvious reasons.

RIP victoria wood. Only she could sing "beat me on the bottom with the Woman's Weekly" with such gusto. A comedy genius.

Reach out to your Jewish friends today. Especially in the UK.

Absolutely 100% right. This should have been Labour policy from 2016. For obvious reasons it wasn't. But when Starmer took the leadership he should have led with this instead of saying Brexit could work and tweeting about immigrants. You can't out tory the Tories.

Oof

Cardinal Timothy Dolan has determined that Kirk was a “modern day St. Paul”. Yes, I think we can all recall St. Paul stating that black women “don't have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously” and how “The pride and trans movements have always been about grooming kids.”

Ok, niche post. Valencia cuidad. Good Indian food. Gluten free. Delivers. Takes cards. Please for the love of my tummy l neee recommendations.

Whole thread bang on.

Hi from Valencia cuidad! Niall is of course correct. The UK voted for me to have to fo TIE and so forth. I can't get a driving license because my UK one was stolen and the UK won't re-issue to a non-UK address. Guess that's Spain's fault too?

“Sharia courts” are not legally binding in the UK. They only carry weight if both disputed parties *choose* to follow their judgement. It’s like a friend informally mediating a dispute. This needs to be stated in such debates because this inflammatory rhetoric needs to be brought back to reality.

In a way it's a shame that Comey is such a professional. If in his video he had said "and this is just another distraction from not releasing the Epstein files" and the next person did too, I reckon it'd all be dropped really fast.

Remote control batteries stopped working. I've rearranged my flat and couldn't find any new AAA batteries. So off I trundle to buy more. The others will turn up. I get home and decide a sensible place to keep my batteries under the New Flat Order. Guess what was there. Yup. AAA batteries.

When the Rapture fails to materialise, they'll blame each other ... and outside forces ... and keep insisting that the prophecy was right all along, but other people's failure to believe delayed it. If you've lived through Brexit over the last nine years, then you'll know the score.

The only thing that could have made this film better is if, at the very start, they showed the text: "This motion picture is based on real events."

Almost wall to wall coverage continues. And while I have the deepest sympathy for all of the victims and targets of #CharlieKirk, there is only so much to report other than "he ded" and "he nasty". Even the rise in threats from the right shouldn't smother whatever other news is happening.

Accurate. #Charliekirk #nazis

(a) This is proof that Trump does not control his own account because he never could have used such long words or written this coherently. (b) Telling foreign companies to come, give us your secrets, then we'll put you out of business is not an optimal strategy for foreign investment.

London used to be my home and I lived in this area for a few years! Always my favourite city to see post-apocolypse :D #TheWalkingDead #ButGood #Spinoff #NoRick

Why on EARTH are CNN and MSNBC full of talking heads saying #Kirk was murdered for his political views and not mentioning that his political views included murdering people he didn't like, oppressing vulnerable minorities, racism, fascism, and extreme mysoginy? Live by the sword... #CharlieKirk

I would pay for youtube premium if they added a feature to skip any section labelled "intro".
