What exactly does "shoot to kill" mean?

If this is a genuine question, "shoot-to-kill" means "Shoot suspects without attempting to arrest them, even if they currently present no danger to the public".

What kind of idiotic idea is that?

One that we used in Northern Ireland

There was a cool photo series by Howard Schatz where he took pictures of a bunch of Olympic athletes.

They're not Olympic athletes, they're just athletes :reject:

(Bodybuilding, for example, is not an olympic sport)

To go back to an actual life threatening thing rather than a theoretical wanky one, there's a point that has not really been made much in the cladding discussion, which is insulation.

The choice is largely between fibre filled cladding and foam filled cladding. The latter is not very fire resistant, the former is; the latter is cheaper (slightly). This has been one of the main thrusts of the discussion.

What has been missed out is that they are different in other areas, too. The reason that foam cladding has been preferred, according to an actual real life builder person I was talking to on Friday, is that fibre filled cladding has a tendency to compact over time as the fibres settle, which result in a significantly reduced amount of insulation being provided by the blocks. He said that the issue would not have been over the £5k to use different cladding, which is a tiny amount compared to the total costs of renovation as we all know, but over the longer time lifetime cost impact and from environmental concerns.

Just because no charges were brought and the union cleared him doesn't mean he doesn't do it; the problem with domestic and sexual assault is that there is frequently a real culture of secrecy and denial about it (see also: the SWP).

I've also had close second-hand experience around medically necessary abortion, but don't live in Northern Ireland so can't speak for what your friend experienced. It's not right what happened to them.

Isn't it better that something is done, rather than nothing in this instance? Progress can be made, women who would otherwise have to experience what your ex-sister in law did could have their suffering eased somewhat with increased funding for charities that support this.

I get what you're saying that this isn't enough and I agree but when a government as callous as this holds out a scrap you have to take it. Roll on the next parliament where real reforms can be made.

The trouble with half measures is that they take a lot of the support away from full measures. People who don't follow things in detail see that something has been done, and drop the measure; Tories will point to this measure as a reason not to interfere with Northern Ireland further.

I understand that May is a turd and has elected to let a turd handle brexit negotiations, but surely there must be some vaguely competent people in the Tories? Amber Rudd or even Jake Rees-Mog?

He would hate you calling him Jake for a start
