I can sort of understand Disney playing it safe in 7, having just paid billions for the IP (though yes, it's a shame). I thought Last Jedi was actually very good, and going in a promising direction. Then they panicked and crapped out the last one; I've never been able to get past first 1/2 hour.
My understanding is that most of Russia's Shaheds are being built under licence in Russia at this point - it might not make much difference.
Paramount reval new direction for Star Trek after merger:

What is your Star Trek project that only you would love?
A buddy cop DS9 spin off where Garak and Kai Winn solve crimes while being snarky at each other.
Voyager is often dunked on, but while I don't think it's quite as good as those two, it's not far off.
If the "great" Tony Blair were in charge today, we would currently be at war with Denmark.
They probably get in trouble if they don't use the approved wording.
Quite apart from anything else - who the hell wants to be represented by lawyers that can't even fight their own case In court?
And the British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, and Bermuda. British Overseas Territories account for something like a third of all tax avoidance globally. Parliament has ultimate authority over all of them - MPs could cripple the tax abuse system tomorrow if they wanted to.
From the Latin "anus" meaning "ring", and "lingua" meaning "tongue".
Polls are generally pretty accurate. What they aren't is precise. Any of these have a built in statistical error - usually around +/- 3 percentage points. This should be explained more often.
Labour were very clear when they were telling left wing voters to fuck off because they thought we were scaring off the "hero" voters they were chasing. Well, mission accomplished.
Remember models - get insurance for your money making body parts.
We're on our own as soon as Putin "invests" $50bn in Trump's electronic currency. What we do in Iran is neither here nor there.
"Now".
Burning on the way out? Let's assume that.
Vaguely related fact I learned recently: Abraham Lincoln was a skilled wrestler, and recorded only one loss out of around 300 matches.
This war is just a ruse to steal their deep substrate foliated Kalkite
Look, there's plenty of stuff they've done that's positive, but often that's been in spite of a leadership that seems actively embarrassed by those things.
Using my tax money to actively support genocide. Rowing back on environmental commitments they "promised". Further tying my safety to an unstable US administration and the techbro nutjobs that surround it...
Further increasing privatisation of the NHS my son's life depends on. Further increasing repayments on the student loan that eats up several percent of my wage each month. Attempting to dog whistle at racists and mainstreaming the idea that immigrants are dangerous...
Shhhh - don't write this stuff where there's a chance he might see it.
Was the single mother in this analogy also delivering bullets to the people performing drive-by shootings on the Muslim family in the next street?
Website generated fake headline for Allister Heath of the Telegraph. Headline reads: "The relentless propaganda surrounding the Green Party win is an insult to our intelligence".
Tenner on this one:
Very much this. Labour have been playing this card in one form or another for decades. It worked for Blair because that structural support was still there, but in the longer term it's why they lost Scotland, the "Red Wall", and very possibly Wales soon as well.
Their position seems to be that muslim families were all told how to vote by their parents. Otherwise all those young muslims would have been voting for...er...Reform?
¡No pasarán! mfers.
James, the guy who said if your not white you can't be British, is now moaning he lost the by election because the non white vote went against him.

Turquoise.
Both. Yes tactical voting but one that went to a party other than Labour in a historically safe seat - just like Caerphilly. This should be deeply worrying for the Labour Party.
