  1. Yes, but some of the blame does lie with the EU because they wouldn't back down and give us all the things we wanted and let us make our own rules up whilst still remaining nominally in the club. Or something like that.
  2. The Hone Office have appealled the decision as they want to deport him and the judgement did not take into account the victim of the assaults. There will be a new hearing.
  3. Like all Ridley Scott historical films, historical accuracy is irrelevant. "Were you there ? No ? Then fuck off." I am sure they nicked the idea for the rhino from 300.
  4. Have they found where she stashed her empties ?

    Russia

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1e7vl01gngo "Verstka, an independent Russian website, estimates that at least 242 Russians have been killed by soldiers returning from Ukraine. Another 227 have been seriously injured."
  6. 4 successive posts without having to quote from X, is that a record ?
  7. If you want to go back to that pathetic schoolyard trolling to try to score points you are demonstrating what a complete fucktard you truly are. How's that for getting personal ?
  8. As I can think of at least 3 reasons it is too many for you to mentally cope with.
  9. Rupert Lowe making a right tit of himself;
  10. I wonder if occasionally if the Government and Police say "There is no terrorist link" then there is actually no terrorist link, and consequently no misinformation passed to the public.
  11. The issue is exports - effectively cutting yourself off from your largest ( and nearest ) trading partner by imposing paperwork and regulations has had a drastic impact on small businesses for whom the added costs make trading non-viable.
  12. Our son had a work night out at the club last night, it is compered by the father of one of his colleagues. I was his taxi service. Fucking nightmare trying to work our way through the traffic jams caused by Strictly.
  13. I went to a restaurant in Tel Aviv but a waiter told me they were full despite half the tables being vacant. I pointed out the empty chairs and he replied "Oh yes, they are occupied". ( Courtesy of a Jewish comedian at a comedy club in Blackpool, who also said that on his visit to Israel he was on a trip to the Holocaust museum and said to his wife "Don't you think it's ironic that we are going there by train ?" )
  14. "Asylum seekers do not receive phones as part of their standard support package from the Home Office, though a number of charities do provide donated phones to new arrivals to make it easier for them to contact solicitors and monitor the progress of their claims. " https://fullfact.org/online/asylum-seeker-free-iphone/
  15. Alcohol
  16. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/dog-free-zones-wales-outdoors-anti-racist-b2647663.html 2 thoughts; is this just black people who are frightened of dogs rather than fear of racism, and as for "removing racism by 2030" - the Principality is full of the bloody Welsh !
  17. If they are ruled 'official acts' then they don't exceed the powers of his position. As for the Constitution, any change requires a two thirds majority in both Houses, and three quarters of all State legislatures to agree.

    Israel

    Wow! Altering the reported time of a phone call by 10 minutes to make his boss look more decisive. Not exactly a hanging offence.
  19. At the risk of taking the thread off on a tangent, Bitterne Park Infants for me.
  20. I am more concerned about the appointment of Tulsi Gabbard - she makes East-stand-nic look like a sheeple.
  21. There are many thousands of politically appointed positions in the Federal beaurocracy, Joe Biden filled these with 'his own prople' following his 2021 inauguration. Previous Democrat Presidents appointed Supreme Court Justices in their turn, it may be unfortunate, from a particular perspective, that Ruth Bader-Ginsberg died during Trump's first Presidency, but there was no conspiracy around her replacement, other than that was some commentary that it should have been delayed until after the pending Presidential election. It has been asserted several times in recent Court cases that some actions taken as part of the duties of President of the United States are, indeed, above more commonly interpreted Law. If Trump goes too far the SC will rule against him.
  22. Is that grounds for disqualification from public office ?
  23. He can do exactly what he wants, within the constraints of the Constitution and the Supreme Court, which despite it's conservative political leaning will not permit him to exceed the powers of the Presidency, and I suspect that even a pro-Trump Congress would baulk at ripping out parts of the Constitution. Trump was elected with a manifesto, and it obviously appealed to enough of the electorate to put him in the White House. If he goes "too far" the States will challenge him in the Courts, or even bring in local legislation to overrule Federal statute. I read something yesterday that said he might even struggle to get his trade tariffd through the Senate, even with the GOP controlling it. EDIT: it's not as if Biden hasn't bypassed Congress and brought in Presidential decrees when he felt it necessary.
  24. You do understand the principle of democracy ?
