Over the last year there have been very few stories about cannabis incidents except for the usual shock horror nonsense ones. Society hasn't collapsed, the people seem generally not that bothered and life has continued as normally as one might expect. So why suddenly is there this weird all-out campaign to ban something which has done very little harm, if any and which has possibly even been beneficial for a lot of people, both mentally and financially? It just doesn't make any sense.

Except of course the UK, which reduced its category from B to C in 2004 and then reversed it back in 2009. The current Home Secretary, Sue-Ellen Braverman is understood to want to increase it again to category A (7 yrs max for possession), but then she is too busy fighting her own acute incompetence and blaming others right now.

Must be getting old... that 8 years seems like just a few months to me.. They do say time passes faster when you get older.

In the cases of Savile and Prince Andrew, going to the police had no effect, owing to the protection afforded by their position. Reports were shelved/lost and it was only when a victim went to the papers that an investigation would start. I believe this was also the case with Epstein and Weinstein. Only when exposed in the press will the police then act as they are then unable to just sweep the matter under the carpet. Wealthy people have a number of ways of silencing accusers in the courts. Some injunctions are so severe, it is even illegal to report that one exists and then there is also the possibility of paying off the victim so the perp can continue without facing justice, as we have seen. The deference paid to the rich and famous allows them to do what they like, cheat on their tax and get away with it and if anyone dares to challenge them, they have usually been brushed aside by the authorities protecting them or they bleat that they cannot get a fair trial as they have been exposed. I don't believe that is a valid excuse to let them continue their deeds unchecked as has happened so many times in the past.

Wallet transplant perhaps...

Over 10 billion people have viewed Baby Shark. That doesn't make it the best song ever written. Popularity is no guide to quality.

"UK IT Firms......." However, no mention of any UK IT company in the linked tale. Should it read "Crooked IT..." ?

I guess they could be but you'd need engines the size of a small town and you'd use quite a lot of fuel....

If the airline baggage limit is 30kg and you bring along 80kg worth, you expect to pay more., Now apply that rule to passengers......

I guess that's why Switzerland, Luxembourg and Finland are so famous for being absolute hotbeds of American industry..........

But the metric system also uses the same basis for volume derivation. A cubic inch of water weighs one ounce and a pint should have weighed a pound (16 oz) but it was decided in 1824 to replace the various different gallon formats with a single definition that it should weigh 10lb. With 8 pints to the gallon it meant that each pint weighs a pound and a quarter or 20 oz. In metric a cubic centimetre of water weighs one gram and a litre weighs a kilogram so if you order a half kilo of beer you'll get 500cc or half a litre....

But do you know how many barleycorns there are to a pole or how many perches in a chain? The UK adopted the logical metric system back in 1965 quite voluntarily but they decided it was too expensive to change the road signs so kept those in miles. And too expensive to replace glass in pubs and milk bottles, so they held on to pints for those.

Sounds like a plea to shoot the messenger. Why not stop the "sxxt". It will only find other ways to get out (TV, papers etc)

Has the new government introduced the 7 day year now?

They did. But it didn't do any good.

Try and become incredibly dumb. That way everybody will appear to be a genius.

And next.... Having discovered that some people are scammed over the phone, all mobile networks are closed down.

Have these people not read the script?
