Yes

You are implying that he's a paedophile because he knows a paedophile. Am I a wife beater because I know someone who beat their wife?

There's any number of reasons to not like either of them but just having an association with a paedophile doesn't automatically make you also a paedophile which is what OP is claiming.

Woken was first used in the 1930s to encourage black Americans and other minority groups to be aware of the prejudice and discrimination against them by white Americans.

It's more like the term hadn't become a catchall phrase for the right to dismiss all forms of injustice without having to engage with the actual issue.

So was the Queen and Margaret Thatcher, does that mean they're also paedophiles?

I was able to do it without any sign in

Do the British and Irish dialect quiz. It's really interesting to find out what words you use and how you pronounce them pinpoint where you grew up and where your family is from. I've got a mixture of London, Midlands and Devon and it's bang on!

The song was written by an American so understandable that they'd do it with the wrong pronunciation.

The D-Day landings Normandy, but from the point of view of a reluctant conscripted teenage German boy having to cope with the ever increasing fear and dread as the sheer number of ships and planes on the horizon increases.

As long as its still about family.

Not afraid of AI, just what it produces is invariably shit.

Green King's (and the other large pubco chains) business model is to trap people who think "I could run a pub" and use up their 50k retirement fund to pay the GKs mortgage for them and force them to buy their product at grossly inflated wholesale prices until the go bankrupt or realise they're in a trap and bail. Then they do it all again.

If anyone somehow manages to actually turn a profit, they find an excuse to evict the tenant and install a manager instead and extract anything of value before starting the cycle over again when it inevitably slides into unprofitability.

My dad had a mac so as kids we were very limited in what we could play. Broderbund products were therefore a staple in our house. Kid Pix, Zoombinis, Prince of Persia, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego.

Lithium ion battery chemistry is actually incredibly well understood and easily calculated as a point value and also extrapolated into capacity values using data on how you use your phone.

Aioli isn't garlic mayonnaise, it's minced garlic cloves emulsified into olive oil, sometimes with a bit of lemon juice. The modern sauce usually called Aioli is actually garlic may made to sound more up market and "traditional". It's kindof the inverse of your point but perversely done for the same reason, to get Americans to eat it.

Dogs brains activate the same regions when the see human faces that activate in our brains. These same regions don't activate in dogs to anything like the same degree when they see other dogs.

Dogs are far more in tune with us that they are with their own species.

Some of the oldest human archaeological sites have dog remains among the humans. Domestication of the dog was going on far far earlier than the first evidence we have for domestication of the first food species.

We have evolved together as two mutually symbiotic species.

Has there ever been a case where online "sleuths" on social media have actually got the right person when the police didn't? And did their "investigations" ever actually secure a conviction where the police originally failed to do so?

Genuinely curious and not trying to start a witch-hunt.

If I'm reading all this correctly and the Guardian's numbers are correct (and given their left-bias they would naturally side with the union against the Government): The union is using RPI, which is outdated and inaccurate, to tell doctors their relative pay has been cut.

The real figure is that, yes it has gone down but not as much as the BMA are claiming, and since their last pay award is now actually increasing ahead of inflation (when using CPIH as your measure).

Finally, although we have a large number of training doctors moving abroad, they're relatively well paid compared to most comporable economies.

Number of juries isn't the problem itself. It's availability of court buildings, lack of legal professionals to try cases in court, cost of staffing and services for those buildings and the increased time it takes to bring a jury trial to court (it takes on average of 284 days for a case to move through the magistrates court and 695 days through the crown court according to the National Audit Office).

This particular proposal, part of a range, is to have an extra tier in the crown court to deal with lower category cases, such as fraud and minor theft cases so that the bigger, more complicated violent crimes, rapes and murders can be prioritised.

Also worth noting, we don't have right to jury trial enshrined in UK law, only the right to a fair trial. I actually think this could help reduce the issue but the biggest problem is lack of funding.
