  • They are under government instructions. The Tories do not care about court costs for their actions.

  • You would have to get rid of the crappy 3rd-party DRM before I would consider it.

  • It is loose and contentious. I have no doubt that Thunberg will use funds to take the UK court to the ECHR. She should have taken advice beforehand. I would be very surprised if she didn't.

  • It really is not. This is exactly how big companies want you to see things. Divide and conquer is a powerful tool used in many areas. My opinion is that the people of the west should be looking to change the grip fossil fuels has on our economy.

  • You should not be arrested for protesting. This is a direct contravention of article 11 of the human rights act.

  • The climate issues we are suffering are not just restricted to the UK borders. She has just as much right to complain as we do. We as a country do not have the right to destroy the planet.

  • Without a doubt the intent. It is how she has won her fame.

  • You cannot protest in the UK anymore without Tory approval.

  • Murray told The Grayzone that British police warned him he would be committing a criminal offense and would be prosecuted if he refused to answer questions, answered untruthfully, deliberately withheld information, or refused to provide passcodes for his electronic devices

    Absolute hypocrisy when put into context of Johnson and Sunak hiding their Whatsapp messages.

    This is not the only evidence that points to manipulation of political opponents. This just goes to show the quality of the people in the Tory party.

  • We may make changes to the terms of this policy

    We amend these terms from time to time. Every time you wish to use our site, please check these terms to ensure you understand the terms that apply at that time.

    That built into their TOC isn't very alarming at all.

  • There will be a few that will make rejoining awkward for the UK. Notable Greece and Spain.

    I am fairly sure there are consequences to peeing around with defined limits while in the Euro.

  • In my area Labour won by 2000 votes at 18500. Tories came next and LD were third at just over 2500. How can I vote tactically against Labour?

  • Nope, it would be BRilliant.

  • Current Tory voting intention is as low as 24% with some polling.

  • Again no. Because the UK was not part of Schengen or in the Euro zone we could not take on the presidency. Since we will not be joining under those conditions this time then that will not apply. EU rules state all new members must be in Schengen, and must also promise to implement a currency change to the Euro. The is no time frame attached to implementing the Euro.

  • That's 37% of leave voters not of all voters.

    The poll, carried out by the Times, showed that 37% of Leave voters believe Brexit has a been a failure, with just 20% saying it a success and 35% sitting on the fence.

    Since the leave vote was 52% that is roughly half so 18% overall.

  • As far as I am concerned, the next GE will be the last time I vote Labour unless they announce PR as part of their manifesto. I can understand Starmer dodging on this next innings, but failing adding it to the next GE after would just mean we are on a circle jerk. I still remember Blair said he would move to PR when he was in office.

  • The reason we had such a deal was because we had restrictions for not being a member of the Schengen or the Euro zone. If we rejoined the EU then joining Schengen and the Euro would be a prerequisite. This is the same for all new members of the EU. There would be no punitive conditions as the EU is based on everyone being equal.
