Uh oh... where’s LouisTheroux to jump in here and say this story is just pro-American propaganda and the real door-kick-down was by European forces who charged in on horseback 10 years before the US arrived and used lances to disable Iraqi radars and that Britain and the Europeans would have taken care of Saddam…

Great point. James Macavoy has spoken out about this.

If hate being that guy, don’t be that guy.

It’d be 50 MALD-Js and 20 JASSMs.

I wish they were better at importing. I was obsessed with Some Girls, which has a black Brit lead and a diverse supporting cast. Not to mention I’ve always loved how British tv is unnafraid to show more average looking people in roles that doesn’t require the character to be called out for their averageness. Not to…

There are a lot of different issues combined here. Diversity on UK TV is not just about race. It’s increasingly difficult for working class actors to become successful, which affects BAME actors disproportionately but is not limited to them. The rise of the Old Etonians and Harrovians (Hugh Laurie, Damian Lewis,…

I think Bernie’s stance on guns fits the middleground opinion of Americans: Even Republicans want sensible gun laws. The NRA holds everyone hostage. Their rhetoric—their ability to keep firearms less regulated than fireworks—stands in the face of the 80+% of Americans who understand that reasonable regulation can and…

It only makes sense for a politician who has represented the constituents of one state to refine his policy platform as it relates to the nation at large.

You’re thinking of Pierce Connery. Roger Dalton was the first Englishman to ascend Mount Everest on a pogo stick.

American tv is more diverse, but it is good to see that Parliament will debate this. I do not think i have ever seen 100 politicians in US debate about diversity in film and tv.

As a mechanic on these I’m really interested to see what the new rotor head and the Advanced Chinook Rotor Blade bring. Dry rotor head would be awesome because we’d have less services, less mess, and fewer blade removals. The new xmsn will be a must if we get new engines or even the T55-716. Airframe reinforcing…

It’s not an excuse. HRC is simply a flawed candidate. It would be nice if the DNC would’ve offered us a plethora of qualified women candidates(and there are many qualified women Democrats) to choose from but instead we get a person who believes it is “their turn” , who voted to invade Iraq, and is in Wall Street’s…

Not quite. I assume you are talking about Angela Merkel in referencing Germany, but she’s head of government, not head of state. And the United Kingdom still has a female head of state until Lilibeth either resigns (unlikely) or leaves her earthly body. Margaret Thatcher, too, was head of government.

Probably helped her to run under the banner of a party that she actually represents.

Maybe Taiwan had a female candidate they could actually believe in.

The aircraft was likely due for a repaint regardless of what color they sprayed it. If anything this single color paintjob probably took less labor time than the current orange and white livery.

1) Read below and you’ll see that not everyone knows about the FM law.

She wasn’t “penalized” for asserting her innocence. She got the sentence as a result of going to trial. Others were given a break because they agreed to save the state the cost of prosecution, defense, and otherwise conducting the trial. Not to mention putting all the victim’s family through the waiting game.
