Aren't the amendments just "government must try real hard to secure x/y/z" which means the government can just say they couldn't manage it?

Pochoclo posted:I still find it a bit hard to adapt to the absurdly high levels of trust associated with deliveries here in the UK. Leaving stuff with the building manager is fine, but completely random neighbours? That just seems weird on so many levels. It is annoying and weird and you should be able to specify just to leave it at the sorting office.

So is NI just having basically a snap general cos the government collapsed? I gathered stuff was a bit dire but I guess I missed the bit where it actually went tits up.

I did not know that NI had official rules about dealing with nationalists/unionists. That's... frankly a remarkably good idea but I'm astonished people managed to agree to it.

Pochoclo posted:I have no idea how this would happen - Yorkshire accent to my forrin ears is basically scottish-lite. It's definitely nowhere even close to any USA accent. *shrug* My accent is a mix of Yorkshire and this, with affectations of RP when I'm feeling up to it. I don't know where they get American from.

I mean really if it is wrong it sort of proves his point, when it comes to people who actually make our tax law we should know if they themselves are following it and where their conflicts of interest might lie.

I think perhaps it takes a rather dim person to believe that publishing one's tax return is an attempt to hide one's money.

I mean, that's not a bad policy, the point of it would be to make sure that we know what ministers are paying, not to catch them on actual errors. If you keep publishing ones that hide like £600k of income then we've got a problem.

I would imagine that there are quite a few people reading the telegraph who would definitely dispute that killing native americans was bad and that any organization nowadays may be held responsible for it, that workers rights are a good thing, and that imperialism is even a concept.
