99 percent invisible did an episode on it recently.

I don’t think that they’ve bombed the West Bank before. Just had mobs nip in and kill people and steal land.

It’s what bad guys in movies say when they hurt or kill someone because the protagonist didn’t do what they wanted. “This is your fault” “This blood is on your hands” “You made me do this”

I don’t think that we are incapable of doing that. What we have done is a balancing act of assisting Ukraine against Russia without going to war with Russia.

If we were to have sent in troops from the start then it would be a completely different picture. I’m not sure that it would be a better picture though.

They want to look at how vaping is being marketed to kids to reduce the number starting to vape but they’re not changing the age restrictions as far as I know.

I think that the argument is that if an employer can afford to pay a worker $30,000 per year and the unemployment tax is $3,000 per year then the employee gets $27,000 per year. So the employee effectively paid that tax, not the employer, even though the employer is the one who sent the money and the employer is the one who is liable for the money.

They just pass the burden onto the employee. They have to because that’s just how it works. Just like the customers pay for a restaurant’s rent in the form of an increase in prices to cover the cost.

If the ads come to Prime, then I might cancel that. It’s already our least watched service and it’s been getting a free pass because of the next day delivery.

I don’t want to watch ads, I don’t want to pay an extra £30 per year to not see ads and I don’t need next day delivery often enough to keep it for that.

It should be regulated at least as much as food though don’t you think? Not just ban it for under 18s but specify what can or can’t go into a vape product.

Otherwise you’ll get companies using cheap but dangerous to inhale substances over more expensive safer substances that do the same job.

Apparently, there should have only been 6 colours in the rainbow in the first place. Newton allegedly added indigo because he believed that there should be 7 for occult reasons.

Why is it not world news? Every news article is local to somewhere.

It would also support the Russian propaganda machine when the Ukrainian people repossess their homes and throw the Russians out of homes that they have bought (from people who didn’t own them).

I imagine that when it was formed there were two options - allow permanent members or form without the most important members.

These are all talking about max capacity too.

The 172 is more likely to be full and the pilot has a good chance of being part of the group instead of just a pilot.

The 787 is likely to be at least 90% full and the crew are a much smaller proportion of the load.

If there are just two people missing from max capacity on the Learjet then that’s making things even more inefficient than the others. And it’s very likely that they will be at least that much under capacity.

I don’t think that there’s a risk of a China-style internet censorship. It seems pretty inevitable at this point.

They’d probably say that Ukraine and/or NATO is letting Africa starve somehow.

We have a financial oversight body that he can go to if he wants to make a complaint. They have the power to force the bank to reopen his account.

Maybe he’s trying to drum up support before he does go to them.

He is getting some support because there were two questions to the PM today both in support of him.

Well, after about a year they came out of a meeting at Chequers with a bold plan…… that was almost like being in the EU and got shot down by parliament immediately.

You could argue that coming up with that plan is progress. It was just in the wrong direction.

I hate the “will of the people” bollocks. They keep saying that about stopping the boats but I really don’t think that their solution of sending them to Rwanda is really the “will of the people”.

I think that you’re giving him too much credit to be honest.

People have been well practised at ignoring Farage for a long time and I don’t think that he was part of the more successful leave campaign.

Yeah. That’s the issue isn’t it. There was one version of remain but dozens of versions of leave but people only got to choose between two options.

Then when the government realised that there were so many different opinions of what leave meant they spent more than a year with no progress.
