And in that time we've seen Portuguese decriminalisation, Canadian legalisation and several US states #legaliseit. Plus you have constabularies around the country like in Co Durham where its effectively been decriminalised. There was a little talk of it in 2018/19 wrt medical use that got a lot of sympathy in the press actually, I think the majority of people would support it especially if they push the tax angle.

If I recall correctly, the Durham chief constable said something like he wasn't going to aggressively prosecute people growing their own at home. In no sense has it been decriminalised there.

I hope this new wave of pirates wear the right costumes and say the right things the sea shanty meme going about is a good start, but if the next pirates don't start dressing up like Captain Hook and going yo-ho-ho and all that poo poo, their credibility'll be ruined

The tax angle doesnt work on the government though cause A) they don't want the government to have money, they want themselves and their friends to have money B) themselves and their friends already grow weed in the UK for export to other countries so make money off the crop anyway

I was planning to order a shroom grow kit from the Netherlands, something I've done many times in the past. Now I'm thinking it's going to ship via the UK, needing a customs declaration of the contents, then another customs declaration to ship from the UK to Ireland. Probably not worth the risk. There also seems to be a shortage of good weed round here since Christmas. I'm going to arbitrarily blame that on Brexit too.

It will take me an huge amount of evidence to convince me that the aircraft carriers are not actually justified as militarised getaway vehicles for the royal family and ruling class in the event of revolution. They are utterly useless for any other goal other than armoured lifeboats for the ruling class.

Tulip posted:They're less well suited to that particular task than basically any other surface warship lol. They can have multiple kinds of aircraft landing on them as well as other ships so they can easily be reached no matter what, they're large enough to have big private quarters fenced off from the rest of the crew, they sound impressive enough to get the ruling class to buy into evacuating to an aircraft carrier rather than fleeing in the night in some minor destroyer or whatever. They wouldn't be doing anything except sailing to the USA and demanding they invade the UK to put them back in charge - it's exactly what they need.
