Is the contention here only a specific piece of hardware or hardware/firmware combo could be a terminal? Someone should tell Bloomberg 'cause they still talk terminals, amongst all the other crap they try to foist on you

Granted Micronesia has quite a number of islands, still when the Aussies have only deported in the low thousands to Nauru it's really no answer to returning the hundreds of thousands into the millions attempting to migrate to Europe. We're not going to get a deal to send millions anywhere, and who w...

Factually incorrect. https://fullfact.org/immigration/refugees-first-safe-country/ Or a failure to consider this is another benefit of Brexit. Very odd. Well yes, but Brexit so...

The neo liberal status quo in keeping evrryone distracted on bullshit that should not be slightly divisive.

That's not an answer, but I assume you approve of this? I’m really unsure where I’ve indicated I approve of breaking the law..... Different countries have different laws, you can’t write off whole “systems” on that basis. It’s really quite moronic. I'm asking if you approve of it being illegal? Wri...

Self defence extends to defending the lives of others and two people were already dead. Yes, in the moment, not when you've had to chase him up the street for 400m or whatever it was. You're fuc*ing pathetic. If someone had a gun and shot Martin Bryant, Ander Brevik or Brenton Tarrant during their ...

Interesting, though again I don't know if that's how it'd work in Wisconsin law. Or at least I wouldn't expect a self defence law to set out defence of others rather than self, I could be horribly wrong in that. Defence of others is one of the central tenets of the self defence doctrine - it's alwa...

The strikingly odd thing about the Rittenhouse case is had the chap who pulled a gun on Rittenhouse shot and killed Rittenhouse he'd have been entitled to the same self defence justification and presumably same verdict had he gone to trial. This is only correct. In your head. The reality is entirel...

I don't know how the self defence laws work in the USA, certainly not in Wisconsin, nor do I know what instructions were given to the jury.

Again - what the hell was that Peppa Pig speech? Boris promised to sort social care, and especially costs to the end user. The plan he's put forward screws people on the hotel costs, and unless you're better off screws people on the capture of benefits not included in the self-funded part of care c...

They'll need to be careful in how they target and spend. They've carried almost no polling benefit to this point from the $1500 stimulus cheques.

I had Covid back in August, and whilst some sense of taste and smell have returned it's hardly a full return.

The EU has these arrangements with NZ. And we very likely are much closer to the EU in standards, except for the areas we've beefed up since leaving ofcourse. NZ isn't having to drop back from previously being a full member of the SM and CU, and our ties our more numerous and more valuable than NZs...

You mean get rid of the SPS checks completely? I don't think is possible. What is possible is to recognise each other standards to streamline checks, while allowing for extra checks if standards diverge. We'll see what happens when the UK applies sps checks to incoming EU goods. Standards will dive...

I'm not sure your average man in the UK street would have a strong position on whether NI should remain in the union or otherwise. I pretty sure they would defend their right to make that decision themselves. It says so anyway in the GFA. You keep mentioning renegotiation, where do you get that fro...

Surely all this bollocks about peace in NI from both sides is, quite frankly, a load of bollocks? If not, I'd find it genuinely amazing that a skidmark in world affairs like NI could have such a disproportionate influence on international affairs between two big (-ish in the case of the UK) hitters...
