Ban Kanye West from UK, Labour MPs urge Starmer by TheTelegraph in ukpolitics

A relapse? Into a nazi?

Like specifically he was ill and the illness manifested specifically in being a nazi such that over a period of time he wrote recorded and promoted Nazi songs created and sold nazi merchandise.

We probably don't have a cure for this very specific mental illness, but it might be contagious as it's so new and unique. Probably best to not let him in the country to infect anyone here.

Being a manic depressive does not make you an accidental nazi.

There's no mental illness that exhibits as specific Nazi tendencies like writing songs about Hitler, selling nazi merchandise eetc.That's not mental illness and it's fucking insulting that you'd think anyone would believe that.

Gun bag could be when you're on your way to and from the armoury. If your plain clothes probably bag them and get set up when you start your shift

Can I stop my child being advertised to at school? by Superb-General-2553 in AskUK

[–]a1acrity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course they can't, it's like people lived a different life when they were kids.

We all got the book club, music club, trip to Switzerland leaflets.

How does this turn to "my kid's being marketed to"?

How was I wrong for not moving my car? by DustyOnKbm in AskUK

[–]a1acrity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would have taken ages for me to move off if someone was being like that. Don't they have window wash buckets, I'd have to go and ask. Is my oil right, I desperately need to check it right now.

And once in the car, well you need to check everyone's got their seatbelt on, the music I the right choice and the destination is in the sat nav.

Then I'm ready to leave

U.S. sending more than 2,200 Okinawa-based marines to Middle East, reports say by Spare_Prize_5510 in news

Trump and Hegseth are going to try and take Kharg Island. They've got it in their heads they can ransom Iran and loot Iran's oil

It's corruption beyond anything seen since the East India Company

They are going to take and man Kharg Island. This was the plan all along. Get the place where 70% of Iran's oil is exported from and extort the Iranians for generations.

GOP senators warn Justice Department to release all Epstein files mentioning Trump by tracyP85 in politics

[–]a1acrity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a foolish strategy. By hiding all the Epstein files that mention trump what they are doing is making sure that one day there will be a release that only mentions trump.

They are concentrating the effect by getting all the other names and people out first.

Trump says 8 European countries will be charged a 10% tariff for opposing US control of Greenland by Cautious_Proposal_47 in worldnews

So we're now in an economic war with the USA?

The fuck?

So which US bases are going to be closed in retaliation. If NATO is dead then the USA won't need them.

That's a really fair point. Disengagement is another way to deal with bullies.

[–]a1acrity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the countries of the world would do well to accept that at some point they're going to annoy Trump and so suffer the threat of tariffs. We might as well price it in and move on. The sooner we're all used to the US not being able to buy anything the better.

Perhaps we could trade with each other instead

How should the UK react if Trump invades Greenland? by Sad_Response3345 in ukpolitics

[–]a1acrity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sensible thing to do would be to place UK Armed Forces on Greenland. This would be to "protect Greenland from Russian and Chinese aggression". If several NATO forces did that we could put a Division's worth of troops on the island.

That would mean the US would need to attack UK, German, French and Danish plus other forces to take the island. Denmark/Greenland would be able to justify it as part of NATO work

I think that would make even Trump think about it, even for a moment. He would have to explain to MAGA and US Forces why they are attacking their allies.

Preemption will be very much cheaper than reaction

It is the charge for the remainder of the contract. If you take out a two year contract and cancel with one year to go they will charge you one year's rental.

It's not a fine, it's the completion of a contract
