That's the choice the UK electorate has made. Reform, Tories Lab all are pro this approach. Plus UK voted to keep it's mad FPTP approach .
It's all on you, to amend

And it's heavy.

Yes we had a hotel on the team route and it was good

You left
Now if you want back it's on different terms. Ours. Not the ones you co-negotiated.
Why is this hard to understand?
It may sting but it's what successive democratically elected UK governts of every stripe have done. Sort your local mess then come talking

That's because , you gommalogue, they're being hunted by explosive drones. Like your American cans will be by the ICE soon.
Jfc some people..

Monkeys are brown, right? So of course the USA police execute them. Easier than, I dunno, thinking

All this bullshit from Very Serious Commentators on "if you ignore the plain words of the US Constitution and instead use This One Weird Trick, Trump can get a third term" serve only to normalize the idea. Some do it deliberately others do it unwittingly

Except, the tumbrils will be very late if every for the repugnicans

Ran a conference in Edinburg last June. 200 international delegates. EDI was a source of wonder, but not delight. They all loved the city mind.

But all of this is great news for universities outside United States.
It's fantastic. Talent will flow regardless. Sad thing is global scientific advancement will be slowed, but not stopped.

This is excellent news for many excellent universities in China, India, Europe and elsewhere. Thank you Governor DeSantis for your services to global higher education

You are getting absolutely ratiod, for your utter and complete lack of acknowledgment that exceptionalism is a thing, and that you are exhibiting it.
Back on mute you go

But....but...the Andrews cry...."we're BRITISH"
The myth of exceptionalism will take a long time to be burned out of the British soul.
Maybe we should say the English soul

Yes
They firmly believe that. Because they're British they deserve special treatment

"what a fupping mess the Brits are making for everyone", mostly

We had a case in Ireland last week where we convicted and imprisoned for obstruction of justice and so on the family of a man who murdered a woman. They covered up for him. And paid the price.
Just, to note.

Land of the free me hoop

They literally did ask for this. They voted enthusiastically for trump and republicans.
Reap, sow cormhuskers.

In the name of Cthulhu what sort of country has a politician of middle rank involved in any way with the selection of a university football manager?
Has america gone back on the meth again?

Both will happen, 10+y however.

I don't want to do the British exceptionalism debate again so I'm just going to mute you.

I think after 115 years you might want to start thinking of us as a separate country. It's not a big ask.
JFC this gets so tired and so old.

Unfortunately that's the situation you found yourself in. If you don't want to leave Northern Ireland, and the majority they don't want you to do that, then you have to deal with its complexities. And that means you can't have the pure Brexit that was being touted

You guys, by which I mean the UK commentariate, need to start examining very closely the way in which your exceptionalism presents itself.

Not to mention the utter searing contempt that oozed out of every Brexit commentator regarding Ireland. We know how the UK government, regardless of its color, sees us.

Can Blockchain solve Brexit's border puzzle? Experts are skeptical A team of experts has come up with a plan to use blockchain tracking for trade between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland to avoid the re-imposition of a hard border after Britain leaves the...

This sort of absolute hair-brained nonsense

I mean, Andrew, we in Ireland lived very closely and observed very closely the shenanigans around brexit. Like, you know we can hear you?
You had all of this absolute bullcrap around the border for example.

Let them go

All of them

Let's stand on our own feet with weapson that can't be turned off by a orange man child

For domestic political reasons don't forget.
Plus showing an utter disregard for international laws, treaties semirelated but inconvenient, literal peace on its periphery, and the concept of shared identities.
