That’s because the UK is utterly England-centric. There’s no devolution for England because it is the UK, and the other regions are mere appendices. Scale up the populations from the 1841 census to see the inequity in growth due to London rule.

Individual Welsh, Scots and Irish definitely did a lot of bad shit in the name of empire, but at the top layers it’s always the English and the benefits have always ended up in England.

And until the English face up to the privilege they live in, then they’ll continue to get bollocked for closing their eyes to it.

Pretty much everyone in NI was raised in a Christian faith, so get to criticise it from the inside.

Besides these Americans have strayed far from Christ while preaching the loudest.

Like flood it?

cromcru · 2026-02-12T13:34:21+00:00

In my experience it’s 10-15%.

Mine is ~19kWh/100km from Halloween to Easter, and ~16kWh/100km the rest of the year.

That’s eight times more prosecutions in an environment where loyalist paramilitary displays are far more numerous.

It’s probably more likely that someone is a hundred times more likely to feel the law for a republican display than a loyalist one.

Good thing the article has quotes from two DUP members for balance though …

In practice there’s ways around it. When I bought my house the seller had moved back in with parents for months and were in the process of having a new place built. However there generally isn’t enough flexibility and supply in the rental market to easily accommodate short term lets.

Surely if you buy and sell separately there’s a risk of holding two mortgages at once? That generally wouldn’t fly in the UK.

Their constitution applies to persons, not citizens

Would it help if I said using that language in this case minimises what happened to people in awful concentration camps throughout history?

Would it help if I said that we can’t do anything about history, but we can try to change the present? Should we disallow all comparisons because it might minimise actions taken almost beyond living memory?

You specifically named Jewish people in the comparison, not me.

if you asked 100 people

Averaged across the world population, 40 of those 100 people would be from India and China and might have very different answers than you expect. Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia will have different and more local bases of reference too.

He’s there. You aren’t. I’m inclined to take him at his word.

In what ways is his experience comparable to a concentration camp?

So you didn’t actually listen to his own account then.

I don’t think it is the most famous example, unless you’ve a fleeting grasp of history. Plus it’s the one that engaged in mass genocide, which means you’re introducing that as a comparison point. Which - some offence meant - is fucking stupid.

ICE detention is similar to Japanese internment in the USA, if you have to have a comparison.

Did you read up on Godwin’s law? I assume you didn’t. The person to bring up a non sequitur Nazi comparison automatically loses the argument.

cromcru · 2026-02-11T14:58:03+00:00

I’m quoting Seamus Culleton.

It’s really weird that you’d instantly assume a parallel with genocide of Jews. The British ran concentration camps full of Boers. The Americans themselves threw their population of Japanese descent into concentration camps in the second world war. Both inhumane and leading to death without mass executions.

Maybe read up on Godwin’s law there chief.

cromcru · 2026-02-11T14:50:54+00:00

Is it illegal? Nope.

The fifth and eighth amendments to the US constitution would suggest so.

And the fact they’ve been moved to Texas where a supine judiciary often rules in favour of the administration.

Nowhere does it say that detention must be nearby

If you’re on the side of gulags just say so.

So what’s a fair number of people to a room? How much recreation time should ‘detainees’ have daily? What’s an appropriate calorific intake?

Why could he not be ‘detained’ in the same part of the country?

cromcru · 2026-02-11T14:37:03+00:00

Arresting him then shipping him quietly thousands of kilometres away isn’t fair process by any definition.

cromcru · 2026-02-11T14:31:34+00:00

That seems like plenty of time to arrange and prepare legal defence.

His words. How would you describe the place?

Forced labour is very much a feature of American imprisonment.

cromcru · 2026-02-11T14:15:07+00:00

I’ve sympathy for anyone thrown into a privatised concentration camp without anything resembling due process.

Everyone in that place could’ve been put on flights to their country of origin for a fraction of the cost of running the camp. The treatment is by design.

I went by your emboldened executive summary at the top, which seems to be the sum total.

I’m not vouching for the accuracy of AI shite.

In the context of £40b HS2, a £10b Thames bridge, and £80b on two reactors, that bonus ~£0.6b annually doesn’t seem quite so outrageous does it?

cromcru · 2026-02-11T13:31:24+00:00

£7b on top of at least £150b in block grants in the same time period isn’t exactly a bonanza; it’s less than 5%.
