If we rejoin the EU then I'm going to pick my location on a map in the EU, move there, and demand welfare. I'm sick of the UK anyway. The only thing going for it is we speak English instead of some stupid language like le or la French.

Well it's reasonable to expect that documents classified as "top secret" would be carefully tracked and whatnot but that's probably not as practical as it first appears. I mean, that implies a central database, which itself compromises the concept of "top secret". Is it really a good idea to have a digital database with information of the whereabouts of every document labelled "top secret"? How practical and safe is it to punctually and discretely log any movement of a document onto a central database? | |

I've been following the chinese balloon drama very closely. Maga republicans went berserk, calling Biden Xi's puppet for not shooting it down. Trump went on record saying he would have shot it down very beautifully if he were still president. Then Biden has it shot down and it turns out it had crossed US airspace three times during Trump's term. This is precisely why satire is dead. | |

Yeah, any way you slice it, it doesn't add up. If she was going to meet someone to run off with, why take her dog and leave it there? And she has kids too, is she happy to just never see them again? | |

Yeah it could be staged, but seems like an awful lot of trouble to go to, and draws a lot of attention if her goal was just to run off and not be found. | |

At least they're searching for her. I watched that new Dahmer series. Evan Peters is fantastic in it, but otherwise it's very sleazy and exploitative. Almost turns into a romantic comedy half way through. Questionably stuff... anyways, what really stood out to me was that this guy murdered at a staggering rate within the gay scene of 80's Milwaukee. Which should really narrow it down. And all of the victims were last seen with Dahmer. If those black men were white girls, there would have been a nationwide search and 24h news coverage. | |

The way this has been hijacked by moral crusaders is horrible. A bunch of transgender people went to a vigil and shouted "fuck Keir Starmer" because he wasn't kneejerking into blaming gender critical people for her death. | |

IDK about these generalizations y'all are making, but labels can be helpful or hurtful, and just because one person uses a label and does dumb things doesn't mean that other people who use that label endorse those dumb things. | |

I mean, if I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt, maybe she was fully underwater, trapped underneath the bank, where visibility was near zero. Maybe they were starting to think that she had actually staged it and disappeared. | |

This case has been so strange from the outset and there's still so many unanswered questions, most of which are none of my business. It's just so sad to think of her going in those circumstances and the circus that followed. | |

We need a law for all the things that aren't against the law but should be. Call it the Egregious Wanker Karma law or something. You'd need a complaint form that any citizen could fill in, then a panel would decide which to take to trial, and a jury would decide guilt. | |

While LBC do bang the anti-Brexit drum, it seems reasonable to assume Brexit hasn't helped. If supplies are limited, why send what you have to the country that requires more effort to trade with? | |

They do, but their voices are getting quieter and fewer imo. Mostly it's just hard-right nutjobs like Farage and the swivel-eyed loons in the ERG saying that. The penny is starting to drop for a lot of ordinary working people who were duped into voting Brexit and now are realising it's made their lives demonstrably worse. I reckon at some point in Labour's second term we'll be starting to seriously discuss rejoining at least the single market if the not the EU. | |

It's not prosperity causing that, it's labour shortages due to ending freedom of movement with the EU. | |

Brexit was a good idea if your intention was to leave the EU at any cost. Saying "hey look the economy isn't as great" is not going to make the slightest bit of difference to people like me who both anticipated it and were willing to accept it as a price worth paying for the long term benefit of the country. Now all we need to do is get our own ship in order. | |

Yeah, my sense is Labour is playing a clever strategy here of not letting Brexit become an issue the Tories can rally the conservative part of the population around at the next GE. There's also no point in making it an issue really, since we couldn't go back to being in the EU in Labour's first term even if we wanted to. Europe isn't going to let us just come and go into the EU every time we get a new government; it's a huge hassle for them and causes instability. The Tories are going have to be on board with the idea of rejoining too for the EU to take us seriously, and the chances of that happening in the next few years are somewhere between slim and none; they've got too much invested in it. | |

I already explained it. The benefit for NI is that they ARE in the EU as far as trade is concerned, and they are also in the UK as far as trade is concerned. | |
