Remember folks, according to Hannan and Carswell the main point of Brexit was so we could be with “our kith and kin in the Commonwealth.

As with the EU if they can’t run something they’ll leave in a huff. @nialloconghaile.bsky.social @jjsalmo.bsky.social @timoconnorbl.bsky.social
Good God they’re even going for the Commonwealth now. Thought that was the one they liked
The only subnational entity Westminster can’t abolish or downgrade with a standard act is Stormont, because the NI Assembly is underpinned by an international agreement

Dude. The Irish Republican army planted lots of bombs and called in threats about the bombs they planted. Learn some history before poasting abject gobshite bollocks that will get someone killed.

you're mocking this but that sandwich was full of fentanyl; dozens of LEOs had to be rushed to the hospital after just a whiff of those onions.
Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.

The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.

"I could smell the onions and mustard."
Worth remembering that the wealth estimates for TechBros are mostly paper figures based on the value of their stock holdings which they use as collateral for loans. They never have that much actual cash on hand.
"As of writing, Tesla has at least $48.39 billion in debt.

However, Musk has also used his Tesla stock as collateral for SpaceX, Twitter, and Tesla loans. Before he bought Twitter, over half of his shares were collateralised; now, that figure is far, far higher."
Interesting piece: if Tesla collapses Musk’s entire empire could come crashing down because of the way he’s structured the companies’ finances.

A reminder that the British Nationality Act 1948 extended U.K. Nationality to the colonies, including the Caribbean and much of Africa so that many first generation migrants were actually exercising their legal rights.
Probably more so in 🇺🇸 but I wonder if a lasting impact of the GWOT is lots of ex SF/Intel/Psyops veterans who were involved in “questionable operations,” embittered and radicalised by the complete failure of that campaign and now radicalising others online.

Won’t that also give Mamdani the perfect excuse if his policies fail to work? Everything they’ve done since the primary just seems to harden his support. They’d have been better “unco-operative but not obstructive” and see if he crashes and burns, but they’re too stupid to realise that

They are trying to make Mamdani die laughing now.

So not only have they guaranteed his victory with hysterical claims, they’re going to give him every excuse if his policies don’t work out. He can justifiably say that it’s because the Feds stymied him.

One of the reasons why collusion between RUC and UDR members and Loyalists was so widespread was because of minimal vetting of applicants in the 70s and 80s. A former RUC Inspector told me that many of those who served under him should never have been allowed even into basic training.

one of the most insane thing about partisan politics is that Republicans are allowed to say "these four million American citizens shouldn't get the representation they are entitled because it would be politically inconvenient for us" and nobody bats an eye
Johnson: "If they had no filibuster, they would pack the SCOTUS. You'd go from 9 to 17 or however many liberals they could pack. You would make DC & Puerto Rico into states, which would give 4 additional Democrat senators & make us a permanent minority. You'd see massive restrictions of 2A rights"

This is great. Public transit is public space and public space should be more playful.

Or Argentina and the Falklands, I can remember an article many years ago, possibly in the Spectator, about how Washington, Bolivar, Belgrano etc, were Ian Smith’s rather than Mandela’s.
As an Arsenal fan this is basically Arsene Wenger’s “I didn’t see the incident” when someone got red carded.

Difference here of course is that Wenger always gave the player concerned a telling off in private…
Back in the early 00’s UTV had a comments section on its news website, a “Brian from Boston,” would harass Unionist posters as “squatters” who after a UI would “either face deportation or incarceration,” he would get very cross when I replied that he was a “squatter” on Native American land 🤦‍♂️

Is there ever going to be an interviewer who pushes back and tells him that immigrants seeking asylum is different than insane asylums?

A friend told me that her American dad got in touch to talk about some news he'd seen on Facebook: there are riots in England over DEI, and the King dramatically burst into parliament to tell Starmer off, and then Prince William did the same to Sadiq Khan. AI really is inventing bold new universes
“Bonfire of the Quangos” is the other classic, always announced with great fanfare, only to be quietly dropped when ministers realise they’ll have to take on the role and make the unpopular decisions that the quangos were set up for so that they wouldn’t have to…

Reliance on Chinese students and Chinese campus for university income creates strategic vulnerabilities which Chinese State is wiling to use to suppress academic freedom.
