Here's the crucial part of the summary of today's Court of Appeal judgment (full text of the judgment not yet public). The Home Office raised the ECHR in written proceedings, but not oral argument. The rest of the summary makes no mention of the ECHR. It seems it was not the basis of the judgment.

The ECHR as a turnip-ghost, continued.

It shouldn't be up to American children to save each other from getting shot.

It's the job of American adults to stop shootings from happening in the first place.

Ban assault weapons again now.

Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski responds to Hungary banning Magyar: “Commander Magyar: if you need some R&R and Hungary won't let you in, please be our guest in Poland.” That’s the difference between standing with freedom—or hiding behind pipelines.

Many Gestapo agents were tried and executed by the Allies.

Many OVRA agents were killed by partisans.

Many Cheka operatives were murdered by their own master's purges.

Good luck, ICE goons. You're going to need it no matter how this thing goes. And you deserve whatever you get.

Minnesota is heartbroken.

From the officers responding, to the clergy and teachers providing comfort, to the hospital staff saving lives, we will get through this together.

In this political hellscape of 2025, nothing dates the original "Running Man" movie more than, at the end, the hero broadcasts a video of the bad guys doing bad things and the implication is it brings down the government.

Now that is quite the recommendation!
I've already bought a ticket for an afternoon show tmrw on the back of it!
Fun, and fan service while telling a story rather than just throwing stuff on the screen!
I like it

Isn't that such a terrifying thing?
That rather than amend laws & policies to ensure kids, schools & people are safer?
That guns are harder to buy & gun owners are subject to enhanced checks before licensing!
That no, that's too onerous
Better to give kids body armour & active shooter drills😟

No, no, no...

Thanks for the review and will do!
I haven't enjoyed supes on screen since Cavill's 1st outing.
Batman V Superman, near broke me.
All they needed to do was a shot for shot remake of the animated movie!
But no, they released whatever tripe that yoke became.

The Battle of DC is underway, brave US troops march on the nation’s Capitol, meeting the enemy head on in a desperate struggle against littering. With steel in their hearts and plastic bags in their hands, the troops brave behind enemy lines.

I'm very lucky that I have #Private #HealthInsurance as if I was relying solely on the #public #health system here?
I'd be relying solely on #prescriptions
If anyone has experience of how their #SCS #implant has affected them?
Good or bad, I'd love to hear them.

My journey with #neuropathic #pain has been a rough one.
From #physio to #meds and every intervention in between.
RF ablation, targeted nerve blocks, steroids all failed 😟
Great support from my #GP but pain management in #Ireland is a hard slog
My next step, getting #SpinalStimulator #SCS implant 🤞
