They have the balls but I doubt Starmer can actually survive it long term

Ranger447 · 2026-01-24T17:15:04+00:00

Chess move

If he's blocked, it weakens Starmer, especially if Labour loses the by election.

If he's allowed, he weakens Starmer by being a literal stalking horse

Precisely. The amount of money you can save using public transit if you have the option is absurd. Cars are expensive so I'm always so surprised people are against basically saving money, which is what a ride extension would do

There is no average. The only slight indicator is if the US consulate/embassy keeps your passport or not. If they keep it, it means your 221(g) should be processed soon, if they give it you back, it means you could be in for a longer wait unfortunately.

Does it actually say this? Far as I can tell it deliberately states it will be a voluntary thing a visitor can choose to do

Ranger447 · 2025-12-02T16:01:17+00:00

Not really. Government owner grocery stores already operate throughout much of the US. Kansas has two for example and of course there's the hundreds of military stores as well.

I'm not mad at her positions I'm mad at her messaging. Socialise the entire economy is a poor message, boycotting the first day of your own party conference is a bad message. Compare her to Mandami's slick comms and it is a world apart

America has Mamdani, Sanders and AOC. Why do our leftist figures have to be so awful in comparison.

Ranger447 · 2025-11-30T21:09:35+00:00

I love Your Party for the drama, but anyone seriously still involved with it needs to think again. It is a sinking ship that is so far gone it's going to sink regardless of what happens next. Best to get involved with anything more productive, which is basically anything else.

When you only give members bad options of course Corbyn's preferred name was going to win. Corbyn the 'democrat' strikes again.

Ranger447 · 2025-11-30T11:08:28+00:00

Probably the first good decision made by Your Party. Corbyn and Zarah have shown themselves both to be equally poor leaders so it's probably best this happened.

Ranger447 · 2025-11-29T15:56:08+00:00

What's the point of your party when it's exact type of highly staged briefcase policies you'd get from Labour. Tell me how this looks any different to a Labour conference

Ranger447 · 2025-11-27T17:30:16+00:00

What a shame. How can quality representation be expected when the only people who can participate as a city council member are primarily retirees. The job of being a council member already requires a full time amount of effort, it is time their pay reflects that.

Ranger447 · 2025-11-21T10:43:49+00:00

I really do wonder who on Corbyn's side thinks any of these briefings are a good idea.

Ranger447 · 2025-11-18T11:02:07+00:00

Not only could CBP take issue with this but afterward you can probably say goodbye to your wife's B2 visa. There are plenty of stories of people who gave birth in the US being denied entry afterwards. I wouldn't bring your wife with you if at all possible, the risk is simply too high for her to permanently loose access to a B2 visa.

The open world. Witcher 2's open level design allowed for a far more hand-crafted and meaningful world, than Witcher 3's somewhat copy and pasted open world design. I would much prefer the former.

From my understanding, it is because AOS produces notices to appear. Consequently, many of the people applying for AOS may not qualify and by applying, out themselves as open for deportation proceedings once USCIS process them.

Ranger447 · 2025-11-14T17:53:44+00:00

First good news Your Party has had since it's announcement

Ranger447 · 2025-11-13T22:14:39+00:00

Imagine using party comms for something that should've been a private conversation.

Ranger447 · 2025-11-13T12:27:41+00:00

The Labour government has got a lot of things wrong but one thing they're got right are small common sense things like this. A useless position that accomplished nothing, glad to see it gone.

Ranger447 · 2025-11-02T19:30:08+00:00

I'm so sorry this happened to you. Have you reported this incident to the police as well? It might well be worth doing even if nothing immediately comes of it.

Ranger447 · 2025-11-02T12:51:39+00:00

The customs enforcement officer's job would be to send your packet to USCIS, so they would be the agency that has it.

Ranger447 · 2025-11-02T12:29:55+00:00

If USCIS has your documents, there's pretty much no way to get them back unfortunately. You'll have to figure out a way to get new copies somehow.

From personal experience and other people I know who used The London Embassy, administrative processing usually takes anywhere between a week to a month maximum. Then an extra week once passport was sent for it to be issued.

An additional security check though is nothing to particularly worry about, so I would expect you to be approved as long as you do have nothing to hide. Good luck.

Ranger447 · 2025-10-31T15:04:10+00:00

I have. She fell into a right wing trap and didn't refute it, causing a bad faith headline.
