I would have lost a large bet. From the headline, my first thought . . "this must be Florida. Has to be Florida" . . .

Nope. Ohio.

Myanmar, Syria, Venezuela, Libya and Pakistan are all under one or more forms of US sanctions - yet are on the tariff list. Sorry . . until proven otherwise, there is no other logical explanation for the "friends of Vlad" being excluded except . . . the orange one is also a friend of Vlad.

Then they came for the Socialists

And I did not speak out

Instead . . . I voted for them.

Free tip . . do NOT come to Scotland and suggest that IruBru is American . . that might end badly. Me personally I'd even avoid calling it British . . . YMMV of course . .

Does pirating from European servers count??? /s

There is only one search engine in Europe that ONLY serves results from their own crawlers: https://www.mojeek.com/

All the others (qwant, startpage, swisscows . . ) merge results from Bing or Google or Brave.

Be warned: you will NOT get the same search results with mojeek . .

The history is long and ugly, but here's the short version. The Home Office hates the BMA. UK doctors are frequent participants in judicial reviews, tribunal cases and applications for injunctions against the Home Office. Pesky cases like trying to prevent pregnant women being held in isolation at immigration removal centers or forcibly returning previously tortured refugees to the countries that . . . tortured them. The LAST thing the Home Office is going to encourage is more interaction with the BMA or the NHS.

Just think about it . . the Home Office will take the word of your local publican over your GP. In what world is that normal???

 

Could you imagine the uproar if a major airport parking garage collapsed because of a fire started by an EV? Yet with a diesel . . . not a single call in the press to "Ban ICE cars from multistory car parks . . ."

 

Would anyone like to mod on /Scotland?

 

Make a connection with Scotland's communities

Take time to slow down and get to know the locals and appreciate what matters most to them.
