Shocking.

25-04-2013 BANGLADESH: 100,000s of garment workers walked out in protest of the previous day's building collapse which killed over 1,000. They barricaded roads, fought police and attacked factories, shops and garment bosses' HQ.

Timely reminder

It still means the "new" FCC refuses to accept EU law's primacy. With more convoluted reasoning than courts in countriesntargeted by those working on rule of law ,but nevertheless

On 18 December 2025, the CJEU ruled that Poland’s “Constitutional Tribunal” is not an independent court and that its actions breached core principles of EU law. WOJCIECH SADURSKI explains why this judgment matters – and what the Polish government can do next. verfassungsblog.de/the-cjeu-ver...

Some reflections on the CJEU ruling on the Danish "Ghettolaw". (C-417/23) I criticise the Court's reluctance to classify a law allowing preferential ending of tenancies for those descending from "non-Western" migrants as related to ethnic and racial origin. www.courthousenews.com/denmarks-bid...

#bverfg Wer hätte das gedacht? Das hat ja wirklich kein Mensch ahnen können! „Nach dem Rückzug von Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf als Anwärterin auf einen Platz im BverfG haben AfD, rechte Medien und Teile der katholischen Kirche ihre Angriffe auf die zweite SPD-Kandidatin, Ann-Katrin Kaufhold, verstärkt.“

Die Wahl von Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf ist gescheitert weil die AfD eine Kampagne begonnen hat. Das wiederum diente der Verhinderung eines Verbotsverfahrens. Alles andere (Plagiat, Position zur Selbstbestimmung der Frau, keine richterliche Erfahrung) war vorgeschoben

This is how consociationalism (how Northern Ireland -NI- is governed) works... tax money builds new housing development, unionists claim it by fixing flags on council property, after threatening violence, and councils don't remove the flags. We learn: who governs NI? www.bbc.com/news/article...
