Pissflaps, sill want to stand by your previous statement that no one will make a big fuss if Wales, Scotland and NI carry a stay vote with England voting leave by a slim margin?

Of course some people would make a fuss, but I don't think it would be much of an issue.

Also I understand that the article itself goes on to describe how it's actually talking about the UK as a whole, not just England.

The driver is just seizing a card that he's been instructed to seize by his employer for whatever reason. It's an admin screwup.

Because if it's the second one then :shittypop:

Whilst it is pretty hilarious, it's perhaps slightly less outrageous to talk about Malta in this way, given our historic links and the fact they almost joined the UK in the 50s.

Just to make sure in case you missed it at the time, the bake comment was about the bakers who refused to take an order for a cake that had Bert and Ernie and a gay rights slogan, it went to court and from the comment I guess EU law meant the court found that to be discriminatory, because well it loving is homophobic baking bastards.

Have you been to Peterhof? It's hilarious, every single structure is basically "hmm can we add more gold foil and turquoise? yes let's add more gold foil and turquoise".

I mean sure the Hermitage is great but I'd rather see the Egyptian exhibit at the British Museum. Maybe I'm just not an "art" person. Also once you see bodies floating down the Fontanka you get kinda soured on the whole thing.

Yup. It's popular for stoners to quote Gen. 1:29
"And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat."
But more generally, God allows the use of all drugs as long as they don't make you chat poo poo like a prick.

Is it? I thought the current law on cakes and discrimination was that you couldn't deny someone a cake based on a protected class. Like if you do wedding cakes with fancy icing swirls, you can't deny me one because I'm marrying a person of the same sex, or because I'm marrying a woman of a different race, or because I'm getting married in a mosque.
If I want you to put a slogan that you find offensive on a cake, which you would deny as a service for someone no matter what their gender or race or sexuality, then afaik that isn't covered by anti-discrimination law.
Although the EU claimed that they discriminated against him based on his 'political beliefs', not his sexuality, so if so I'm going to find some Northern Irish bakers to inquire about green white and orange cakes with a picture of Gerry Adams and rubber ducks shooting flames out of their beaks on either side. (I'm a big supporter of bathtime.)

The right wing eurosceptics just basically repeat "Immigrants! Benefits! Muslims!" over and over again until they become synonymous with bad, but left wing eurosceptics seem to go mostly with the EU undermining collective bargaining and being generally bad for benefits for all its members (except those members that are big businesses or banks, they get lots of benefits).

The UN working group on arbitrary detention is apparently likely to say that the Rat Haired Rapist from Reykjavik is being arbitrarily detained.

It's depressingly ironic that so many people complain about non-existent "bogus asylum seekers" in Calais while supporting the actual bogus asylum seeker in Knightsbridge. :smith:

Quite.

One should point out that, as a point of law, the extradition judgment stated that the alleged offence is sexual assault.

Assange's only defence is that he didn't do it. And he has pretty much admitted he did.

It's like she has never even been to Newport, during Our Lord JC's youth would be coming to terms with losing its place as a major coal port, suffering from major job losses in shipping, to the rise of the steelworks, and we all know how well that went. Being a finalist on Britain in Bloom is possibly the only middle-class thing to have happened to it in the last century.
