I AM UNJUSTIFIABLY PROUD OF MY SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE RECIPE

YES, IT IS AN INCREDIBLY SIMPLE DISH

NO, IT IS NOT NORMAL TO USE A PEPPERAMI INSTEAD OF MINCED MEAT

YES, THERE IS TOO MUCH SALT IN MY RECIPE

NO, I WON'T STOP SHARING IT

more like BOLLOCKnese
David Davis' weird good Tory thing is that he used to be a cop and actually rails against police excess. I remember he was brought on to Radio 2 to defend the police's right to blast everywhere at 100mph and he was like "actually, the first rule of emergency services driving is that you shouldn't kill people, so yes police officers who run people over should get prosecuted"

problem: there's lots of pesky rules about when we can actually send D-notices
solution: what if we, the issuer of D-notices, just cordially emailed people in a friendly manner offering friendly take-down advice, with no implications whatsoever

I'm from Minneapolis and our cops use these tactics and we somehow end up with a ton of young black men ending up dead. IDK how it happens, it's almost like it's part of the plan.

I'd like to explain how incredibly dumb this is but it would be a very long post. Suffice it to say that the US is really good about making state-level export agreements but state-level import agreements aren't any easier than making a deal with the federal goverment.

So all youse want to buy some soybeans, grain, and liquified natural gas? No problem. You want to sell whatever it is you export? You're jumping through the same hoops you were before.

It's almost as if the minister in charge of making agreements with foreign countries is completely clueless. I imagine civil servants in the relevant departments would know but without a doubt they will have been expunged or are being completely ignored because 'we're fed up of experts'.

Yeah but the constitution also forbids export tariffs, so states can make whatever malarkey export agreements they want. UK wants to buy some poo poo? Ok.

UK want us to import their steel with lower tariffs? Nope

Basically none of this is new either lol. There was another article around the same time at this one about pelosi and her staffs annoyance that British government people just seemed to refuse to accept the possibity a trade deal wasn't feasible as it requires passing through Congress and nothing they were saying was getting through

We built huge LNG export facilities so we could rip you off if Russia gets weird.

The other thing that the UK has always underestimated is the level of sympathy in Congress for Ireland. If a trade deal doesn't make some specific carve-outs to conform to the Good Friday Accords, it's not passing Congress.

as always, the Democrats are the most useless conservatives you could imagine and they will be absolutely creamed in November

of course, this means we're going to have to wait until next year at the earliest for a US-UK trade deal, which I say in the full knowledge that Biden will drag it out for as long as he can because Joe Biden? he's in the ra.

They just booted one of their most prominent transphobes and removed another from the front bench, so very far from perfect but clearing the incredibly low bar of least transphobic english party right now by merit of having taken any action at all

This is the same logic that makes Mitt Romney the best Republican. Occasionally he does something that isn’t completely awful.
