This isn't true at all and dredd himself has killed millions of people. If you count the nukes as self-defence, then dredd has killed hundreds of people just for protesting. The gas they use to quell riots kills 1 in 200

yeah i thought dredd's entire deal is that he kills the poo poo out of everyone who so much as jaywalks, unless they immediately surrender then they go to the cubes

Exploration is ill-advised.
The fun thing is that Dredd is actually reasonable as Judges go if only because he adheres to the letter of the law and isn't corrupt, lazy or unnecessarily sadistic, and actively pursues corruption within the system. If he was born in a different society he might well be Ned Flanders. The system is completely, unnecessarily hosed up and tyrannical and perpetuating its own problems.

"It is in essence an extreme Islamist suicide plot against Downing Street. Essentially police believe that the plan was to launch some sort of improvised explosive device at Downing Street and in the ensuing chaos attack and kill Theresa May."

To be fair to the authorities on this one their plan sounds more likely to cause death and injury to someone than other groups they've picked up, like the fantacists who wanted to tie knives to the wheels of a truck and drive down a street cutting people.

That was '8 year old doodling at school' planning and they still got done. Although vehicular based attacks have been shown to be effective since then so maybe they were visionaries?

Apparently there's no official analysis into the impact leaving the E.U. would have on the U.K., according to Davis.

Yes, but he said they had those 50 reports. That is most likely somewhat illegal to do.

Q: You told the Commons that the Brexit impact assessments do not exist in the form that MPs assumed. Is that why you have not handed them over?

Davis says that is correct.

There are formal definitions of impact assessments, he says. The work done by the government does not fit those definitions.

But he says the government decided to give the committee the best information it could, or the closest information.

Q: Did the government undertake an assessment of leaving the customs union before the cabinet took that decision?

Not a quantitative one, no, says Davis.

Q: Isn’t that extraordinary?

No, says Davis. He says the range of different outcomes it too wide. Some free trade agreements have been very effective, and others haven’t. Ministers had to take a judgment. That is what thy did, he says.

Davis says cabinet took decision to leave the customs unions without an analysis of the economic impact.

to be fair the boost to the economy from all the european university students now being charged international student fees and being barred from student loan company access would be pretty solid

I mean the death penalty thing has already been talked about, but in terms of inspiration, Dredd's insane law and order tone (and indeed the sympathetic not-IRA in Strontium Dog) was way more to do with the Diplock courts and general immunity of the police in the Thatcher era than anything to do with the US.
