lmao does stormont (and the two other devolved parliaments) not have the power to change time?

i think over 1/5 of the states deviate from the norm in some way, whether not recognizing DST or have geographic splits

Are you going to the let bureacrats in Brussels dictate to you which hour the hand of the clock is pointing to? Or will you Stand Up for Summertime, and use your new sovereignty to protect daylight savings time as it has been used in Britain for over a century?

It was a European war that enslaved us to the tyranny of movable clocks. When we Brexit finally we can finally close the DORA on that whole sad chapter of our history.

Did any of you guys have BAE or Raytheon visit your school when you were a kid to show off how badass their planes and missiles and stuff were?

quote:

Arms manufacturers are spending millions of pounds a year promoting their brands in Britain’s schools, the Observer has learned.

The companies, which between them have sold tens of billions of pounds of weapons to overseas governments, including those with poor human rights records, sponsor a series of school events at which their brands are prominently on display. In addition, they issue teaching materials for use in classrooms that promote the defence sector, sponsor competitions and award prizes.

Forgot about this so had to look it up and it's pretty great.

quote:

But Mr Bruere also expressed concern about the response to his stunt in comparison with "Baby Trump".

"With this campaign, I've been called far-right, and Nazi, and all this kind of thing," he said.

"None of it's true, obviously," he added.

quote:

online investigators at Bellingcat linked Mr Bruere to a deleted Twitter account with the handles @yanny1112 and later @allequal117 that promoted antisemitic conspiracy theories.

In April last year, the user claimed that “the Jews” were “in control…you’re not allowed to speak about them”, with the hashtag #jewsruntheworld.

The account also shared conspiracy theories, including those claiming that “Isis was created by Israel” and that Auschwitz was a “fabrication”.

Nah she's just signposting her path to irrelevance, better it be done by her local constituency through neutral selection processes so that if anyone causes a stink they have to accuse the majority of the CLP of being anti-semites sexists or something.

They will absolutely do this and the media will report uncritically on the CLP that has been taken over by neo-nazis.
