  1. If you intend to apply for a job requiring a 'degree level qualification' it would help.
  2. Trump is a Putin wannabe.
  3. Maria Caulfield, Tory junior Minister, said on SKY News that by knocking off at 6 on Friday evening Starmer was reducing the job of PM to a 4 day week. They are just spouting bollox on the fly, especially considering last week Sunak said Starmer's wanting to keep Friday evening for his family was an admirable thing. Loved Wes Streating's response to her, saying that just like the cleaners in number 10 after the lockdown parties, Labour were ready to clean up the Tories' vomit.
  4. Do you think that if the UN Court ruled against the US the American Government would pay it any attention ? Edit; as the US has never signed up to the Court, as accepting it's authority would be in breach of the US Constitution, they wouldn't. In any case, the UN Security Council is the enforcement body, so it would never get past a US veto.
  5. Yes they were appointed by Trump, but the majority were appointed by Dubya or Democrat Presidents. Whoever put them in position, Article 8 defines their constitutional role. Whether they are being a-political in their considerations is open to question, but we must now wait for the lower Courts to work out how the SC declaration can be interpreted, implemented, and possibly challenged. The checks and balances you mention are created by the Constitution and theoretical separation and independence of the 3 branches. As for asking for something akin to the ECHR, that initially requires such an organisation to exist, then you have to sign up to it and accept it's judgements, and at the end of the day there is nothing to stop a member country that disagrees with one of it's rulings leaving it's jurisdiction and ignoring it.
  6. People who park their cars right next to a junction, half on the pavement, straddling double yellow lines, and think it's OK because they have their blue badge displayed on the dashboard.
  7. They are the 'higher and totally impartial court'. If there was a next level, who is to say they coul not be compromised in turn ? How many layers of appeal judiciary are required ?
  8. God gave up on that shitshow decades ago.
  9. "8. Independent Judiciary Federal judges, including Supreme Court justices, are appointed for life (subject to good behavior), ensuring they are insulated from political pressure and can make decisions based on the Constitution rather than popular or political considerations." Yeah, right.
  10. Most of his acts of incitement are now moot as he was apparently acting in his official capacity in claiming fraud, and most of the evidence against him is ruled out as it is communications created by him acting as President. So much for an independent Judiciary.
  11. Imagine JB encouraging a mob march to prevent the certification of a Trump victory amidst Social Media claims of ballot fraud.
  12. Looks like they do now.
  13. What a stupid ruling - the President is effectively God and free to do whatsoever he/she wishes. How does telling a mob to march on the Capitol to overturn the legitimate result of an election fall under the definition of acting in his official capacity ? Biden needs to use this SC ruling to squash MAGA with extreme prejudice, as it must apply to him as well.
  14. 500 up, but against Kent this season that seems to just be a par score.
  15. I went to a concert at Twickenham where Avenged Sevenfold were the main support act, and once they had finished a load of their teenage fans left before the main act came onstage.
  16. Steve Bannon, before his jail term begins, says there is an army of MAGA supporters ready to ensure that the correct result comes ou of the Presidentisl election.
  17. What about an archipelago just off the northern coast of France joining the Trans-Pacific trading bloc ?
  18. Is this England or Saints ?
  19. And appeared in the 'Red Wedding' episode of Game of Thrones.
  20. I don't disagree with you, and a higher percentage of Kazakhstan's land area is in Europe and I bet even less people would name that as a European country. Even so, both are better qualified to be members of UEFA than Isarel.
  21. Turkey is as much in Europe as Russia, as is Kazakhstan.
  22. No he isn't, and in my post above I have answered his question.
  23. Article 10 of the NATO Charter. Other than the founding members, only European countries can be invited to join.
