Inverted commas have made a big comeback this year and so has the word allegedly. Aren’t those ‘woke’ props?

He is a liar.

Third time in as many days the Swiss have crossed my information stream.

I bet he knows exactly how to be a single mom surviving on minimum wage.

Maybe it happens when they stop paying attention.

Is he talking about his toilet habits here ?

A hangover worthy of a song or two will make you forget.

And I want you to talk like a foul mouthed pirate from Glasgow.

Did the airlines stop charging surcharge after 9/11?

Your democracy is on life support. It’s one mass casualty event away from passing the enabling act by Congress.

He should run for Congress. I hear it’s pays better and they get free healthcare.

Speed boats, dhows, perhaps even canoes. They don’t have to really mine the place, just say that they have and sit back and watch the tamasha.

I shudder to think what has in mind for refugees.

You would also just be against the war, against forever wars even. I haven’t heard many calls to end this war. Why is that ?

They shut down because he had won.

I just heard that the major oil company in UAE has stopped operations.

I don’t think this framing is right. I’d lean into it instead. I’d say things like by the time we are through with you, your children will be working sweeping chimneys like the good ole days.

Sex or gender information In the UK, sex and gender data can cover three categories: Biological sex. Legal or certified sex. This is sex as recorded on your original birth certificate or as amended under the Gender Recognition Act 2004. In almost all cases, legal or certified sex reflects a person’s biological sex. Gender. A broad term that is sometimes used interchangeably with sex or when specifically referring to social rather than biological differences between sexes. It can also capture data that equates to biological, legal or certified sex. Information about sex and gender is not necessary for the intended purpose of the digital ID. Inclusion of this information would not enhance checks that the digital ID belongs to the person presenting it. Checks will be done programmatically and through biometric authentication, neither of which require specific sex or gender data. Additionally, digital right to work checks and many checks in the private sector (including Know Your Customer (KYC) and simple age verification checks) do not require the collection or sharing of information about a person’s sex or gender. Similarly, access to most public services does not require this information. In specific scenarios where sex or gender information is required, it is better collected and verified by other means appropriate to that scenario, rather than contained in the digital ID. For these reasons, and in line with data minimisation principles, we do not intend to include sex or gender information in the digital ID.

The UK government's consultation on a digital ID system is now live! And – GOOD NEWS – the government does not intend to include sex or gender information in the digital ID.

Does it make it better if they had written “allegedly chooses his words.. after terrorist attack” ?

I think his staff should continually play practical jokes on him till he quits.

It’s a lot more serious than shooting someone on fifth avenue. What is changing is the increase in resentment. One can’t predict what something like that becomes once it’s properly marinated in fear and hate.

Couldn’t we start a gofundme page to raise a billion dollars to pay Trump to stop this war ? It doesn’t look like any of the billionaires are going to step in to stop this war.

When they come asking for drone tech from you, ask them to remove the limits on their missiles in Ukraine before you say yes.

"Also at Nuremberg, “I was just following orders” was thrown out as a viable defense—something the generals overseeing the Iran offensive might bear in mind."

If the Russians were to get Zelenskyy tomorrow, I am certain the Ukrainians will continue with their fight. I am not so sure of Russians fighting if Putin goes away. So maybe, the only political system these people are comfortable with are authoritarians regimes.

I think the cleric was being cheeky there referring to alexis de tocqueville.

I've been involved in several citizens' assemblies inc. parliament's Climate Assembly UK & adult social care assembly

This is the first UK government CA...they can be excellent sources of evidence to inform policy making but the design, engagement, and what happens afterwards right really matters!

I think Rory Stewart will be very happy with this.

Swiss vote places right to use cash in country’s constitution Switzerland joins Hungary, Slovakia and Slovenia as European countries looking to make it a right to hold cold, hard cash.

The Swiss might be onto something here. I used very little paper money last year. They have good looking money. And their postage stamps are really beautiful too.

and he knows his is doing shit.
