Eh this is NSG so I am going to assume the worst. It is the only safe thing to do.

But this is off topic so back to the mess that is Brexit. I really hope the EU denies any more extensions. At this point the EU needs to put their foot down and force the UK to make a decision.

It's always good to see a split in the far right vote.

Presumably next year, Nigel will quit the Brexit party and found a new party in his neverending quest to find the goldilocks zone of racism, a party that's racist enough to attract the sort of people who think they aren't racist but moan endlessly about immigration and political correctness, but not racist enough to attract Tommy Robinson.

the US, unironically, does not have a prison system or justice system of an acceptance standard that we can safely extradite people there - especially in politically cases like this
ask moderation about reading serious moderation candidates TGs without telling them about it until afterwards and/or apparently refusing to confirm/deny the exact timeline of TG reading ~~~ i hope you never sent any of the recent mods or the ones that got really close anything personal!

signature edit: confirmation has been received. they will explicitly do it before and without asking. they can look at TGs basically whenever they want so please keep this in mind when nominating people for moderator or TGing good posters/anyone!

Hurting the US' ability to conduct its illegal wars shouldn't be something condemnable.

the US and UK do not actually care about rape anymore than they care about the various human rights violations that their allies and peons commit every day and are, regardless of its veracity, using it as a political blunt instrument to get assange extradited for non-rape related charges in a way that will minimize and discredit opposition.

High court judge being investigated for being more blatant than usual in their misandry.
Judge Sarah Buckingham said: 'If Miss Parry was a man, there is no question it would have been straight down the stairs, because this is a shocking case of dangerous driving against a background of two previous convictions for excess alcohol."


(Parry was released without sentencing to jail at all.).

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.
