I bought a USB adapter from a company that rejoices in the name "borlter clamp" and it just sounds like an s&m device.

UK will leave ECHR if Tories win election, Badenoch says The European Convention on Human Rights has become a focal point in debates around changing immigration policy.

The Convention on Human Rights is one of the greatest achievements of European civilisation following one of its greatest tragedies. To join Russia in leaving it would be one of the biggest acts of national self-sabotage in history and have zero positive consequences www.bbc.com/news/article...

British politics is basically a doom spiral of increasingly unhinged hostile policies.

Reform says something unhinged
⬇️
Labour counters with their own unhinged policy
⬇️
Tories shout from back they'll be even more unhinged
⬇️
Reform announces different unhinged proposal in response
⬇️
And repeat...πŸ”

Leinster currently 14th out of 16 in the URC. Cardiff fourth despite a narrow loss to munster today.
I guess they must be quite disappointed with themselves. Sad.

Rampant stupidity. Politicians attack the ECHR, but ignore what it means or how it works.
It has become a target, but reality is it has very limited impact on asylum removals.
Leaving it though would have catastrophic consequences for the whole country.

Trivia on 'trivia'

In ancient Rome, a trivium was an intersection of three roads (tri, "three" + vium, road).

According to the Romans, when people met at a trivium, they would discuss trivialis ("inconsequential things") - which eventually helped give trivia its modern meaning.

Nigel Farage Is a Racist The media is refusing to state the most bleedingly obvious facts about a man whose entire career has been devoted to pursuing a racist political agenda

It tells you everything you need to know about British politics that the only people who have ever had to apologise for Nigel Farage's long history of racism are the people who dare to call it what it actually is

all the-reasons not to leave. Tory’s/ Reform Ltd, yet to provide any intellectual reasons for leaving. Brexit was the silver bullet for immigration. That went well, so why believe leaving the ECHR and loosing all these rights is any different, as it’s the same actors that advocated Brexit?

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

Scientists have found that Long COVID brain fog is caused by a leaky blood-brain barrier, letting harmful substances trigger inflammation and cognitive issues. This discovery points to potential treatments targeting the barrier to help restore brain function.

Even in the narrow instrumental sense of dealing with the Faragist threat to the Conservative Party, Brexit has been a catastrophic failure.

Support for staying in the ECHR has been rising (probably a Farage effect of solidifying the majority who oppose him, maybe Trump osmosis effect). Media and political opinion on the right believes there is a strong public desire to quit. Badenoch has now committed the Conservatives to quitting.
