The USN never gave up on the age of Sail. The USS Constitution is still a commissioned warship.

Morgan McSweeney was never a member of the government, not being an member of either the house of lords or the house of commons.

"Find the world's lowest prices on prescription drugs"... Well, we pay nothing for prescription dugs at the pharmacy (over and above our contributions to NHS Scotland), so I'm not sure how you get cheaper than that?

Just before anyone mentions that his mum was Scottish, we don't want him. We've discussed it and we're pretty much in agreement about this, except for Phil, but Phil's a dick.

Looks like they remembered...

Sshh, they haven't noticed that they're playing away in Europe.

Fists of Freedom: An Olympic Story Not Taught in School — Civil Rights Teaching Reading by Dave Zirin The real story behind the most political, controversial, inspiring moment in Olympics, if not sports, history: the black gloved salute of runners Tommie Smith and John Carlos.

Their medals were never revoked. www.civilrightsteaching.org/resource/fis...

"Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace,
Have no delight to pass away the time,
Unless to spy my shadow in the sun
And descant on mine own deformity:
And therefore, since I cannot prove a lover,
To entertain these fair well-spoken days,
I am determined to prove a villain"

Not cancelled - speaking as a Scot, we just got back in! - but the world cup is due to take place in three countries, only one of which is proving itself to be an international pariah. I think the solution presents itself, if only FIFA had a modicum of integrity.

Looks like Michael Berryman in a flat cap... Anyone seen them in the same room together?

The Danes do that as well, they're just a bit more... Childish about it?!? (As seen on a Danish oil platform)

In fairness, a box of cornflakes costs $174 in Namibia....

Possibly because a lot of them weren't born last time Celtic had a run of 4 losses, which the BBC are reporting was in 1978.

NATO budget for 2025 is 4.6 billion Euros and for 2026 will be 5.3 billion Euros - as per NATO's website. All funds contributed by NATO members.

To be fair, they generally refuse to learn the language, adopt the culture or integrate into society when they're at home... soooo there's that..... Probably cause they 'arra peeple!

If they're wearing their police uniforms does the Geneva Convention apply?

Very true, but none of those elections took place under this administration, which would likely rely on the large number of global instances where elections were/are suspended during time of war. As mentioned, with the Supreme court in their pockets, this may be a very straightforward argument.

An endless war would give them the excuse to suspend elections... Not legally, but with the Supreme court in their pockets, that won't matter. The worst thing that could happen for them would be a short military action, over in plenty of time for the midterms to happen.... I think.

"He's not illegal"... because no human is illegal. There is no law anywhere on earth - as far as I am aware - that makes the nature of being human illegal. Words and definitions matter, skin colour doesn't.

You want ours? We're not really using it... Free if you come pick it up.

If he U-turns on this, what else will he U-turn on?

I agree, that's very real, and strangely a feature that survived all schisms, denominations and sects.

Just like Jesus, the British legal system doesn't exist.

That's the image that came to my mind too...

Not sure that's a reason not to try...

Just popped a tyre on a pot hole on a back road... While waiting for the tyre guy a couple of people stopped to offer help, goes some way to renewing faith in humanity
