6 week special military excursion

We’ve been coming last in Eurovision for a long time, it’s practically tradition at this point.

Fixing literally anything could tbh.

But they’re always breaking more than they’re fixing.

There’s two types of Kurds, those America has betrayed, and those America is going to betray.

He’s the only one I’ve seen suggested would actually want the job.

Honestly, labour’s problem isn’t that they’re copying reform on immigration, it’s that they aren’t doing anything left wing like funding the NHS, or restoring social safety nets. If all they are doing is being reform light, then reform voters will inevitably prefer “full fat” reform. What they lack entirely is a unique selling point.

The article almost gets it when it talks about reform attracting “collectivist-minded group who are nostalgic for well-funded social democracy”, but never follows that to it’s logical conclusion. Those people perceive that there is no party that will restore that funding, so they embrace a party that they believe will protect it’s decaying cadaver.

I once read a study that said left wing socially conservative voters were the most under represented in most western democracies, and the current situation demonstrates the danger of that. If there is no left wing option that isn’t perceived as extremely liberal, they will end up in the hands of those who style themselves as socially conservative.

Well, he certainly didn’t fiddle, since the violin wasn’t invented for another thousand years. Supposedly in the original accounts it was a cithara or lyre. It also doesn’t help that he was over 30 miles away when it started, and personally coordinated the firefighting efforts when he did finally arrive.

Good point, I forgot about the Roman attitude to pp

It does make me wonder when the association changed though, or if it was purely regional.

They also just happen to write about how the person they assisinated to get power was an evil tyrant with a small pp.

(I know this is a massive problem with Roman history, Nero fiddling while Rome burned was almost certainly an invention of Christian authors.)

I’m sure politicians will just use this as another excuse to get rid of juries, instead funding the court system properly and getting officers to focus more on rape and less on tweets and people holding signs.

They can kill a bill for a parliamentary session (1 year), if it’s reintroduced in the following session it can be sent for royal ascent without the lords’ approval. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliament_Act_1949

Technically the king could refuse ascent, but that hasn’t happened since 1708.

Who would replace him? Wesley Streeting?

Honestly I can’t think of a single person left after Starmer’s purge that would be suitable.

I suspect the policy isn’t intended to actually build detention centres. It will be used to generate lots of daily mail (et al) headlines about green councils not wanting migrants. It also allows them to blame the greens if there’s a story about bad conditions or overcrowding at existing detention centres, “we’d love to build new centres but these meanie greens that claim to love immigrants keep stopping us”. It’s actually kinda genius in an evil way.

planning law, and immigration laws which allow government to build immigration centres do not give any authority to decide where to detain people based on the voting patterns of citizens nearby.

They could use a proxy, find something that green councils have the most of (allotments? Universities?) and claim to be using that to site them.

Reform could try to legislate its way around the courts – a Commons majority could in theory pass a new act giving politicians the power to site detention centres by voting pattern.

But in reality, this would face a “hell of a ride through parliament”, said King, “especially the House of Lords, where there would be few (or no) Reform peers to defend it.”

The lords can only delay legislation, they can’t stop it.

Does he say how much it cost him?

Honestly not a terrible use of ai. I imagine it’s pretty good at spotting things in a sparse environment like the middle of the ocean.

Traffic that isn’t congested could become congested. Also half of congested traffic will be above average.

It gets more difficult when you move away from mainstream stuff, video editing and VFX comes to mind (I was going to say CAD but then I remembered dassault exists)

Going slower will just make congestion worse, cars spending more time on the road means more cars on the road at the same time.

This just sounds like a cynical way to make more money from speeding fines.
