I’ve had serious relationships with British, Russian, Turkish, French, New Zealand and American women. Four of them I lived with.

And legal migrants? I suppose we have to pay the money and jump through the hoops still, right?
Democrat Senator Alex Padilla to introduce new legislation to make illegals into citizens if they live in the US for more than 7 years. He says Trump has gone "too far, even for his supporters" because he is removing criminal illegal aliens from our country. This was the plan…
The most amusing thing about this very sensible proposal is NHS staff would refuse to process the payments, insisting treatment should be free.
A £10-20 fee for an A&E visit or GP appointment is a no brainer at this point. Guaranteed to cut wait times by 50%+
I think the Online Safety Act may backfire spectacularly, as it will force people to communicate far more securely, which is what anyone who is serious about disrupting the government's plans should be doing anyway. It'll bring about genuinely secure ways of conspiring.
I expect most Russians will be absolutely outraged by this, remaining in complete denial that they at war with the perpetrators and deeming this action the last straw. They will demand their government punish Ukraine severely by...attacking them militarily.
❗️🇷🇺Russian airports again in major collapse due to threat of UAV attacks. Many flights canceled and rescheduled Russian media also reported that hackers destroyed the entire IT infrastructure of the Russian airline Aeroflot during a year-long cyber operation. All critical…
Yet a Britain banning VPNs will still have a better score than the US on some freedom index because the NHS is “free” and the welfare schemes are better.
Countries where VPNs are illegal: North Korea Belarus Iraq Turkmenistan
Right, but did it get people from A to B as efficiently? A man with a red flag walking in front would substantially reduce car accidents, but efficiency of transport would collapse. I suspect Waymo vehicles spend a lot of time stopped.
“After analyzing the data its vehicles demonstrated a 92% drop in pedestrian injuries, an 82% decline in cyclist injuries. Waymo also logged 96% fewer vehicle-to-vehicle crashes at intersections, which the company notes is the leading cause of road injury for drivers.” From an…

Law enforcement in Florida warns of extremely dangerous "Door Kick Challenge" where teens kick at doors while firing airsoft guns "This could end in tragedy."
I've read too much MR James to set foot in one of these. And I'm not going to be rummaging around in a loose brick for a small metal plate with a Latin inscription on it.
Breamore Miz-Maze: A really beautiful turf maze in Hampshire of 'Chartres' design. These are hard to date as they get recut and maintained.
Neither. I just can't see the appeal of Genesis, but others clearly can and I bet most of those others don't see the raw genius of bluegrass. Horses for courses.
This image is a pretty good litmus test for music: do you regard this man with respect, or disgust?
Feminists will tell you the issue here isn't any particular change in policy or circumstances, merely that the problem "men rape". Because denigrating men as a class is way more important to them than preventing women getting raped en masse.
R*pes recorded: 2000: 🇬🇧 England & Wales: 8,593 🇩🇪 Germany: 8,133 🇫🇷 France: 7,500 🇵🇱 Poland: 2,399 2023: 🇬🇧 England & Wales: 68,109 🇩🇪 Germany: 39,029 🇫🇷 France: 42,400 🇵🇱 Poland: 1,127 Gee, it makes you wonder what’s so different about Poland compared to the other three…
Too many NHS staff want NHS to be treated as a religion, or a job creation scheme. My wife died avoidably due to surgery being delayed. Ambulance service @EastEnglandAmb refused to investigate, and told *me* off for taking up their office workers' time.
One thing you learn to do when living in the 3rd world is not to get into stupid discussions with low IQ locals who have no choice but to live in a state of semi-delusion. You just ignore them. Brits should learn to do this with their new neighbours.
Illegal migrant tells us he's here to rule over all of us and that he's incredibly dangerous. Keir Starmer says this man is a Doctor or Engineer
"Legalizing cigarettes would end the involvement of organized crime in the cigarette market."
Legalizing drugs fully would make organized crime disappear from the drug market. There are no US city centers where drugs are fully legal. There are a few where possession is tolerated, which is vastly different, and isn't what you'd expect to hurt the profitability for cartels.
