Nevermind them I want the backstory on the ‘blurple fraggle’. Why is that dog that colour?

This is one case in which the traditions of the UK Parliament actually work (some of them like being two swords lengths apart don’t have any use) even in the modern day. You have to refer to people as my honourable/right honourable friend (if they’re in your party) or the honourable/right honourable member (they’re in…

It depends. Ace people do not experience sexual attraction at all. But the term Grey-A describes people who are more on a spectrum than a set point. Demisexuality would definitely come under Grey A. Some people only like to use Asexual to refer to only people who never experience attraction, others happily use it as a…

Yeah I mean pretty much I’m unanimously on the doctors’ side but the parents should have been told those scan results first (even if they wouldn’t believe them). It was wrong to just read them out to the court and blindside them with them.

This case has absolutely nothing to do with limited budgets. The only consideration in deciding his treatment is what is in the best interests of the child.

Yes and I’m not sure how they’d do that since even if they made him an American citizen he is currently resident in London and thus subject to the British judicial system - which says he can’t be moved. The only way to get him to the US without breaking the law is if the court changes its decision.

He is saying with a straight face the parents’ rights are paramount (not the child the parents) and yet at the same time he’s anti-abortion. So the child’s rights only become less important than those of the parents after their born? Dickheads gonna be dickheads, but they should at least be consistent damn dickheads.

Actually the parents have raised the money they need to pay for the trip - it’s not a case of the NHS not wanting to pay. It is a case purely being judged on whether the incredibly remote chance of extending his life a little is worth the pain and trauma that will be cause in order to do that.

Physically harming your child is illegal even when you think you’re doing it for good reasons. The doctors and the state have a duty of care towards all children and you don’t get carte blanche to torture your child just because he’s terminally ill. This is no different than forbidding parents from refusing to treat…

Because the child is suffering and this treatment is extremely unlikely to work and the legal system tends to not be in favour of pointlessly torturing children.

I could see her being *required* to co-parent Dream; I can’t understand why she says she WANTS to. I mean, really? A guy who posts intimate pictures of a woman publicly without her consent is probably not someone you want around your daughter.

You’d have to be Thenardier to pull that shit, not Valjean.

Do you know who I am?

Is this because the pay gap between equal positions has actually got worse under Trump or because the position of women in any kind of senior position has tanked and thus taken their average salary with it? Or, you know, a bit of both? Because even without having specific figures I can pretty much guarantee there’s…

Given who those ungrateful colonials ended up with as a President I think they’ve been more than adequately punished and am celebrating thank God they left so we don’t have to be responsible for the current Disaster in Chief Day. I have enough problem coping with the idea my country is responsible for May and Johnson…

Since he is literally suggesting he would be willing to help British citizens break the law it’s no wonder our government is ignoring it. Can you imagine his reaction if the situation were reversed and an American court had made a judgement and Theresa May had gone online and tweeted hey if you need help getting…

No they’ve decided it’s a money thing and that a ‘death panel’ has decided to kill him because he’s too expensive to keep alive. Which is what they always say ‘socialised’ medicine will lead to. Because clearly no one in the US dies from lack of money to pay for healthcare. In reality, a team of doctors has appealed…

I think you’re overestimating the intelligence of a chunk of the Brexit voters. I saw several interviews with people claiming they were voting for Brexit so they could keep out people from various Arab or African countries (which ever one the specific interviewee had decided to focus on) because they were all muslims…

Objectively, if you want to get away with sexual assault wouldn’t it be better to take that lesson from someone who isn’t under threat of legal proceedings, has had to settle civil suits in the past, and whose reputation is in tatters?

Prince Philip has set a date for retiring from official duties except those he feels like turning up for. This date is conveniently before any visit from Trump would happen. I don’t think this is coincidence. He’s stood by her side no matter what since 1952, but even Philip has to draw the line somewhere after all,…
