if bloody sunday is a good example, if there is a functioning US government after a massacre expect "justice" in around 50 years, and even then its just performative

ok this constant media push for "air corridors" has made me realise that the only reason its going to work is if the holiday destination "ie all of benidorm" is quarantined from the local population, just letting disease brits run around the place boozing up and sharing bodily fluids it will be bartenders and waiting staff in full PPE too

What’s better is the thousands of people protesting these injustices years ago, with no hope of immediately seeing any change , and then suddenly society convulses and the dam breaks Or yeah nothing ever changes why bother doing anything

XMNN posted:What effect will this have at the Irish border? The UK government don't seem to be taking the infrastructure for the internal border with NI particularly seriously, either, so that seems like it would be a pretty easy way to get shoddy goods into the single market I guess they’d have to bypass the U.K. entirely and use their own ports rather than using the U.K. as a land bridge

kingturnip posted:So it turns out that when the Housing Secretary did Tory donor Richard Desmond a favour and approved planning permission, he saved him around £150m, rather than the £50m that was originally reported, and meant that he didn't have to use as much affordable housing. This is why I think the tories are happy to deliver watered down labour policies rather than loose and stay true to their right wing beliefs, day 1 of another government and a fair number of people are facing serious corruption prosecutions
