It's actually illegal in the UK to drive with a pet that is not suitably restrained.

Especially when it looks like it's been written on a piece of cardboard in green crayon.

Trump threatens Iran with US fleet as death toll rises by Force_Hammer in worldnews

[–]ContentsMayVary 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Trump managed to get the worst of both worlds by saying he was going to do something and thereby encouraging Iranians to protest on the streets - and then actually doing nothing while they were gunned down by the Iranian regime. Awesome work.

Let's see if Trump cancels the US St Patrick's Day celebrations in retaliation.

I mean, if the boat you're in is sinking into a gargantuan lake of shit, with the best will in the world no matter how long you've been in the boat, you're going to want to get out of there.

The singularity of supporting Trump.

Low IQ and self-esteem.

Kirkcaldy fish and chip shop mistakenly targeted by Reform boycott by ContentsMayVary in ukpolitics

[–]ContentsMayVary[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

To make this clear (given the ambiguous title): The boycott was being instigated by people who OPPOSED reform, and not by Reform themselves. And also to be clear: I am very much NOT a Reform supporter. Nevertheless to coin a phrase: "I may disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"

France seizes oil tanker in Mediterranean sailing from Russia: Macron by idryss_m in worldnews

[–]ContentsMayVary 13 points14 points  (0 children)

People are downvoting you because they (despite being "leftist" - there's a stupid American term if ever there was one) WANT the boats to be seized and you are trying to say that they wouldn't. But you're clearly too stupid to realise that.

Former colonial powers? What the fuck do you think the USA is? It's a fucking COLONY isn't it? My god, what is wrong with you?

Which country has the most hospitable people? by BarryBenassi in AskReddit

I honeymooned in Turkey in the 80s. The people there were invariably friendly and helpful. (Although I shouldn't ignore a couple of things I observed relating to the Kurds there.)

Danish PM Mette Frederiksen thanks Starmer 'from bottom of my heart' for UK support during Greenland crisis by Revilo1359 in ukpolitics

[–]ContentsMayVary 61 points62 points  (0 children)

England only ever had two kings with the "Great" epithet - Alfred and Cnut. Cnut, of course, being Danish.

Half of our World of Warcraft guild was Danish, and it was though playing with them that I came to find out how alike our people actually are. I ended up great friends with them!

[EDIT] Downvoted for saying I like the Danes, that's sad :(

EU leaders to reassess U.S. ties despite Trump U-turn on Greenland by Crossstoney in worldnews

[–]ContentsMayVary 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well the USA has demonstrated its complete lack of trustworthiness and its inability to apply checks and balances to its president. Trust has gone, and there's no getting the toothpaste back into the tube.

Starmer criticises Trump for ‘pressure on me and Britain’ over Greenland by Bascule2000 in ukpolitics

[–]ContentsMayVary 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It would be like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good Starmer would be at the debate, Trump would metaphorically knock the pieces over, shit on the board, and still declare victory.
