It was getting attention in 2018 too. John Oliver even did an episode about it. People just don’t care as long as it isn’t them.

This has been going on for many years.

Wow, what foresight they had to appease Trump 6 years before he was elected… This law was written in 2010. The ruling clarified that a more recent Scottish law which relied on this one did so by misinterpreting that law’s definition of women.

As to Chamberlain, at the time of the Munich agreement, the Luftwaffe had the most advanced air force in the world, while the RAF were only equipped with biplanes. Chamberlain bought time for the development and manufacture of armaments, significantly the Spitfire and Hurricane, and in the event it was just enough time, with losses in the Battle of Britain barely being outstripped by replacements. So yeah, turned out alright.

The Supreme Court doesn’t make the rules, it makes a determination on what the rules mean in context of the body of law. It’s not their fault that Parliament passed a badly worded law. It’s a positive step that the law has been clarified, and now the changes needed can be identified.

Greenland is not a part of the Schengen Area, and a passport is required for travel to most of the EU, except travel to Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway or Sweden where any photo ID is acceptable, if perhaps not entirely practical.

He had one casino that was actually doing ok. He was so happy with it that he opened another one down the street….

Parliament has a handy guide to the difference.

Parliament and the Government are different. They have different roles and do different things.

What is the Government?

HM Government consists of the Prime Minister, their Cabinet and junior ministers, supported by the teams of non-political civil servants that work in government departments.

Chamberlain who stalled until rearmament could take place rather than going off half-cocked?

Cameron? May? Johnson? Fucking Truss?

He is disappointing on the Middle East, but it’s literally his job to get the best deal for the UK regarding US trade. If that means tickling a fragile ego, sure why not, an easy win. If it’s proper labour you want, he’d have to denounce every US president since FDR as a fascist abomination.

Starmer won’t do much if anything about it. They’ve already sent the sternly-worded email. If anything he’s relieved that there’s a distraction from one of his MPs being arrested for child rape yesterday.
