Yep. And the Conservative Party of the UK who held the referendum to put the issue to sleep and unite the party have never been so divided and has just had its worst election result in history whilst arch Brexiteer Nigel Farage has his best. It’s stupid self harm to entertain this kind of nonsense, even from a Conservative viewpoint.
Hate rules America.
Happy birthday for yesterday.
Who is your secret celebrity crush?
Love the $10Bn Boeing procurement in small print in the corner! 🇬🇧
This sentence could land you in prison for life if they go ahead with “suspending” habeas corpus. Remember folks, if your detention cannot be challenged legally, it doesn’t matter AT ALL whether your detention was legal. If you think they’ll never come for you, you’re forgetting that they’ll rely on the volunteer army of MAGA “informers” who will turn you in for treason because you annoyed them by being kind to someone they were bullying or something completely trivial. Without habeas corpus, suspicion is sentencing.
Exactly this.
First they came for the immigrants, but I did not speak out, because I was not an immigrant.
Then they came for the students who protested Israel, but I did not speak out, because I was not a student, and I did not protest.
Then they came for the Hispanics, but I did not speak out, because I was not Hispanic.
Then they came for the trans people, but I did not speak out, because I was not trans.
Then they came for the gay people, but I did not speak out, because I was not gay.
Then they came for the Muslims, but I did not speak out, because I was not Muslim.
Then they came for the people claiming benefits, but I did not speak out, because I did not claim benefits.
Before all of this, they came for the black people who smoked a little weed, or shouted at cops who were shouting at them, and they locked them up and made them work for nothing or a nearly nothing wage, in prisons that profit from people who suffer for skin that’s not pink and parents who were poor.
And when I asked my neighbour to not let his dog poop on my lawn, and he informed the authorities that I was disloyal to the president, they came for me, and my wife, and my children, and there was no one to speak out for me, and no one to defend me and no one to care because we had all run out of care, tired of turning our eyes from the despotic travesty of everything America was supposed to not be.
If the caveat wasn’t intended, the word ‘due’ would be superfluous.
Off topic, I admit, but 6x8. I always forget what 6x8 is.
Hebeas corpus, except I remembered today because Trump is talking about getting rid of it and ushering in the darkest, most unamerican timeline ever. He’s doing pretty much everything the founding fathers wanted to reject.
Oh shit, not again.
OK, yes, there’s a difference between inference and implication, but it’s OK to do either in a social media setting.
America, this is your final warning.
Without habeas corpus, you are no longer the land of the free in any sense whatsoever, you will become the land of the unlawfully detained without legal recourse.
If the courts lose their ability to free individual persons, the president or anyone else in the administration, police, ICE or other force can
SENTENCE YOU to LIFE IMPRISONMENT on a WHIM.
And there’s not a single thing you or anyone else can do about it AT ALL.
Friendly reminder that to a lot of British people, “President Trump” sounds like “President Fart” or “President Blowhard” or “President Braggart”.
Conservatism is, as always, a complete failure of empathy, a lack of ability to recognise that if you don’t care about other people and you choose to put people who also don’t care about other people in charge, the people in charge simply and absolutely don’t care about you or your friends or your family.
Conservatives don’t understand that “them” and “us” are actually all just us.

Does Stoke have good pubs nearby?
Ah OK. I offer a choice of two follow up questions for you: either question 1. Then would you consider yourself aromantic or asexual or both or neither, or question 2. Who is your favourite character from any game or film, and what do you like about them or their story?
