they do, its single payer full NHS style and the republicans would die of cancer before ever allowing it.

actually the whole ‘sovereign grant’ thing is a bit complicated but boils down to this, the Crown in britain owns a lot of land and other property, separate from the state a lot of directly held estates that accumalated via marriage, and purchase over the years. this collectively is known as the ‘Crown estate’ now…

95% of us couldnt give a flying fuck, what any royals or ex royals do, the average briton spends about 0.1% of their year giving any thought at all for the royals, most of that divided between hoping the queen doesnt die before Charles and wondering which of them is going to get caught saying or doing something…

he kind of does, he is a member of a organisation which seeks to abolish the monarchy, he was almost certainly approached for comment by the author of the guardian piece and gave his comment, which was probably simply a variation on the same comment he would give about any expenditure of tax payers money on the…

honestly he looks better without the orange and obvious combover, not good i hasten to add, but a little more genuine, it would probably help him at this point because people dont look for bullshit and lies quite so much as when someones outward appearance is in itself a obvious lie

well to be fair churchill was racist as fuck at times.

at a guess from experience.

acounting for population difference the UK police would have to kill 150+ people a year to be on similar terms to the US police, they havent killed that many people total this century.

751 people is about as many as get murdered total in the UK in the same time frame, thats far too many.

In a sane and just world, huge campaign donors wouldn’t be allowed positions in administrations they donated to, Republican or Democrat. Ever. No ambassadorships. No bullshit cushy political appointments. An CERTAINLY NOT JOBS RUNNING ESSENTIAL GOVERNMENT SERVICES.

was discussing this in work today and from the point of view of an englishman it seems very strange that there isnt more talk of amending the constitution to remove ‘natural born’ from the requirements, and replace it with ‘naturalised or natural born’ American citizenship is not particularly easy to obtain so if…

ww1 wasnt actually a war in which more died from disease than battle, indeed the last war in which that was the case was probably the crimean war.

interestingly the privy council is more likely than not to rule in the kids favour, the issue being settled more or less in favour of dreadlocks in the uk decades ago, to the point of uniform concesions to rastafarians in uniformed jobs.

wierdest is probably liquiorice jelly beans, used to by tubs of mixed flavour jelly beans, small tub bout once a week and snack on them while doing homework etc when i was a kid, but couldnt stand the liquiorice ones so would pick them out, Boswell our little westie on the other hand loved the bloody things so i used…

always amazes me that ren and stimpy was shown as a kids cartoon.

nah they made a point about public consultation about the replacement, and the mayor is pretty firm on the idea of doing everything openly and democratically,the protest statue will almost certainly be on the list, quite probably the winner, but it will be a public vote, I live in the city and it will almost certainly…

honestly at this point i think i believe both sets of accusations and neither set of denials, both come of as deeply unpleasant on some level and it sounds like when their fuck up of a relationship imploded they both started flingiing shit to get the best out of the divorce settlement.

even if that were the case and it isnt, a ‘death panel’ composed of doctors trying their best to allocate limited resources to do the greatest good is still better than the current death panel which consists of insurance companies trying their best to minimise their fiancial commitment to their customers and avoid…

heart attack while on toilet after getting word that they found the receipts for the whole russia thing would also be good.
