Very messy arrangements overall, but basically England and Wales had an administrative union before the legislative unions with Scotland and then Ireland.

England and Wales have been a single legal jurisdiction since the 16th century. Scotland and Northern Ireland only share King Chuck and Parliament with England (and Wales).

L'Espagne, comme l'Allemagne, l'Italie, la France, le Chili ou l'Argentine, a déjà "essayé" l'extrême-droite, pour reprendre une expression chère aux fachos fachés.

Ci-dessous, la carte de toutes les fosses communes recensées des victimes du franquisme. L'extrême-droite, c'est ça.

Puppies join soldiers during Chile military parade Dozens of dogs with Chile's police canine unit joined an annual military parade on Thursday (September 19). The pups have become the undisputed stars of the event since they first took part in 2017. A police lieutenant with the canine training group, Fernanda Rubilar, said the socialization process to prepare the dogs for the parade begins two weeks in advance.

Chile seems to be the only country that knows how to put on a good military parade. www.reuters.com/video/watch/...

92 years ago today, the Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld Institute for Sexuality, where the first study of trans people was conducted, and burned all of its contents.

Fitting that today is also the day SCOTUS greenlights the project of the eradication of trans people from society in the US.

But wouldn't the Trump administration survive a non confidence vote? Doesn't he have majority support in both houses of Congress?
