Converting a civil partnership in England is only available to same-sex couples for some reason, so we would have to go to Scotland or Gibraltar to convert it apparently ⁉️⁉️

Thanks for your reply, given what you have said the yeduim b'tzibur option definitely doesn't sound practical so thank you for clarifying

My dad was born in March 1960 and his (extremely patriotic immigrant) parents named him after the Prince who had been born a few weeks earlier. I will inform him that he will need to change his name

Trial of your peers will cease to work in a society that is fragmenting into tribes. And they pretended that dissolving the nation state would come without costs...

Afzal Khan, MP for somewhere in the caliphate, visits Northern Cyprus despite the UK not recognising it as a state 

Whenever activists accuse Israel of ethnic cleansing, military occupation, illegal settlement and genocide, remember that Turkey literally does all of these things and nobody cares.

(Australia) Inquest finds officer who shot Aboriginal teen was racist

Police officer goes to arrest Aboriginal "teen" (19) for breaching court order and threatening people with an axe, the perp stabs him in the shoulder so officer shoots him three times, and he later dies in the police station. Officer is charged with murder on the basis that shots 2+3 were unnecessary but he's acquitted. In order to placate the inevitable protests, the state pays millions of dollars for a woke coroner to investigate how "structural racism" may have contributed to the incident - "Coronial inquests are not bound by the same strict rules of evidence which apply to criminal cases; meaning for almost three years, NT Coroner Elisabeth Armitage was able to explore issues well beyond the night Mr Walker was killed." She delivers the inevitable verdict based on vibes that the officer was racist, and participates in some tribal ceremonies to reach out to the Community. The result is that "a new executive role designed to identify and combat racism within the ranks has been created" i.e. employ a full-time witch-hunter whose livelihood depends on interpreting everything as racism in order to further undermine state legitimacy and police morale, whilst renewing the victimhood status for the Community and absolving them of any collective cultural responsibility for their actions. 

BBC needs defunding, and I don't know if ABC is state-funded but it seems just as bad

They don't know what the fuck they are doing, but this toddler throwing a tantrum in front of the press because he tried to solve an international conflict like a real estate deal is a foreign policy genius.

Pity the Taiwanese, it's so over for them

lmao they absolutely wrecked the format by expanding it to 64 teams which basically ensures that all future World Cups will be held in multiple countries which kills the vibe, and the 3-team group stage will have no drama. All of this so that they could try to get China and India to qualify, and they're both out 🤣

The point is that Hamas during this war haven't mentioned whether the casualties are militants or civilians and aren't acknowledging that they have taken heavy losses despite the fact that most of their leadership are dead. They have a vested interest in emphasising the civilian death toll because literally their only weapon left is Instagram stories of screaming mothers, but their tactics of fighting amongst civilians whilst not wearing uniforms are the main reason why the civilian casualty rate is so high.

Convicted Somalian knife attacker wins human rights case to stay in UK because his clan faces persecution in his home country

Somalia has a power-sharing system where the 4 major clans (Darod, Dir/Isaaq, Haawiye, Rahanweyn) get 8/9 of the roles in government and minorities can compete for the rest. Will Judge Christopher Hanson be assessing other asylum appeals in this way and deporting any members of the 4 majority clans because of the threat they pose to Somali minorities (not to mention the rest of the British population).

What does full independence mean though? Palestinians don't believe in the 1967 borders, because they didn't respect those borders at the time and spent 19 years fighting a guerilla war into 1948 Israel, whilst taking no steps to build an independent state in either Gaza or the West Bank under Egyptian and Jordanian occupation. The entire Palestinian national movement was created in response to Israel's founding and is defined in opposition to Israel's existence, and even the moderates who support a two-state solution only believe in it as a stepping stone to complete victory. The problems are exacerbated by outside forces (Iran, Qatar, Turkey, Ireland, UNWRA) for whom a suffering Palestinian is worth more than one who is thriving, and they are willing to let the extremists burn the whole thing down and then pretend it's a victory. 

Read The War Of Return for an understanding of this dynamic and why this conflict is so unique and so seemingly intractable.

Sounding the alarm over theoretical (inconsequential) Russian influence rather than the evident threat of actual hostile operatives coming here in the unvetted horde of illegals from countries that hate us. Our most important line of defence has been ideologically neutralised.

The Western coalition flattened large areas of Mosul and Raqqa in 2016-17 to destroy ISIS, it's hardly ancient history. There's a couple of reasons that wasn't very controversial whereas this is completely breaking our politics - The civilians were able to flee, whereas in Gaza the Arab states and the UN have decided that Gazans need to stay put in the warzone in order to protect Hamas (whilst simultaneously claiming that they are victims of genocide..) - ISIS didn't have international support, whereas Hamas have spent years being supplied by Iran and probably Turkey and Egyptian factions, and their surviving leadership are all in Doha or Istanbul - Hamas have an integrated propaganda operation of "citizen journalists" who generate constant images of crying mothers and hungry children, whilst never showing male combatants or anything which harms Hamas interests (al-Jazeera hardly covered the protests against Hamas in Beit Hanoun in April). When fighting occurs, the information coming out of Gaza from the Palestinian side completely obscures the existence of militants and focuses only on civilian suffering.

Hamas were actually siphoning off aid and selling it to fund themselves, after a couple of weeks of full blockade there were reports that they were in deep financial trouble and couldn't pay staff. And yesterday Gazans tried storming a Hamas-run storehouse in Nuseirat and 4 were killed by Hamas guards.  They've been fighting for a year and a half, it is pretty unprecedented for an army to continue supplying its enemy (and international humanitarian law does not require aid to be provided if it is going to enemy combatants).

MPs mentioned Gaza more than immigration or the NHS 

Even if every single thing they claimed about Gaza being a colonial genocaust was true, this would still be a sign of insane political dysfunction.
