  1. "Attempts to rouse him" Was he lying down on his bed with a cloth around his neck? How was that a hanging?
  2. The Conservatives granted asylum to 63,000 people in 2023, while Labour's administration in 2024 saw a decrease to 39,616 asylum grants.
  3. Britain has always been a racist country. They invaded so many countries in Africa and South Asia and are now upset that, after telling those whose lands they took that they are Great Britain, those people apparently believed them and want to see for themselves.
  4. Satire - hopefully people will learn from history.
  5. Can't being good simply mean "not purposely harming someone? Accidents happen but purposefully doing bad is evil.
  6. Who on earth would hack anything and show their true location? You'd have to be begging to be caught.
  7. I am absolutely certain that Russia will sign a security agreement with Ukraine. The proof? Russia signed the Budapest Memorandum, on December 5, 1994, providing a multilateral agreement affirming Ukraine's security and sovereignty in exchange for giving up Ukraine's nuclear stocks. What more do you need?
  8. Universal healthcare is not free. You pay a fee via tax and the money is pooled so people can access healthcare. Similarly, in the US, insurance costs are pooled by the insurance company and used to reimburse costs. In both cases, the providers are gambling that not everyone is sick at the same time.
  9. Whatever happens to solar panels on roofs? Brands like Lightyear made progress but this is an area to be explored.
  10. More emissions than entire countries? A bit shocked.
  11. More money than sense. Someone with managerial experience required.
  12. When you know something is illegal but you do it anyway...
  13. Agree. Thais will smile and nod but not sign anything.
  14. Thai kids are mollycoddled by parents who see them as heirs and future grandad babysitters. It won't change if the culture doesn't change.
  15. State attorneys general in 20 states suing the Trump administration over its mass firings of federal workers have “no hope of success” against the president and his Justice Department lawyers, the DOJ says — arguing in a new filing on Monday that “third parties cannot interject themselves” into government-employee affairs. It seems the mass unemployment Musk is creating is stirring up a hornet's nest. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/cannot-interject-themselves-trump-doj-says-states-suing-over-president-s-mass-firings-have-no-legitimate-claims-and-are-doomed-to-fail-in-federal-court/ar-AA1ADZQv?ocid=entnewsntp&pc=U531&cvid=94a104024dc94d36a70db02d9f9e8465&ei=28
  16. Ontario is adding a surcharge to electricity sent to the US. In his Truth Social post Trump wrote: "Despite the fact that Canada is charging the USA from 250% to 390% Tariffs on many of our farm products, Ontario just announced a 25% surcharge on 'electricity,' of all things, and your (sic) not even allowed to do that. Because our Tariffs are reciprocal, we'll just get it all back on April 2. It seems things are about to escalate.
  17. What is the system that kids can use to buy drugs or gamble with the money? I don't get some of the comments saying they will.
  18. Great. Another discussion. Another "ambitious" project. A bridge too far maybe. Will Hopewell come back to haunt us?
  19. Never listen to anyone who doesn't know the difference between your and you're.
  20. This is what happens when you cannot rely on your long-term trading partners.
  21. Who on earth would become a military pilot knowing they could be prosecuted later for actually killing people? Dangerous careers need support from the higher ups giving the orders.
  22. Footpaths have never been constructed to last long. If they were, repairs would never be needed, and the construction company would have no future business.
  23. That darned Gay plane was always mounting something.
  24. They should all sign up to be police officers.
