The protest was condemned by Downing Street because it wastes lesson time though.

I find this incredible, if perhaps not surprising. We're all fucked.

Bonus irony in that the snap general election called by Theresa May caused thousands of schools to be closed for the day so they could be used as polling stations.

Copper didn't even have a shave, lazy prick.

It was pretty outrageous. They also said that it made teachers' jobs more difficult.
Wonder what else might have done that...

The conditions under which they work sound horrific.

This interview is very callous.

Grim for her being put on the spot by Sky so soon after giving birth.

Now what? Every time someone decides to stick a camera in her face, she has to repeat herself?

She seems to be pretty dim and also incredibly young (very much still the 15 year old that left Britain). The interviewer was obviously trying to get her to say I love ISIS.

So what? Bring her back and reform or jail her. Have some humanity.

And give her child a chance also.

Access to justice is a human right, even if it jails you rather than frees you.

sadly i feel that planet faced tit darth javid is going to play this for max mileage with the gammoneers who would sooner see her beheaded by these isis knuckledraggers to prove some sort of misguided sense of justification for hating the rayguns than delivering anything remotely approaching mercy, reason or justice.

Sadly, as the tories have voted to drop the European Charter on human rights after Brexit, I'm thinking that boat's sailed

She was a child when she groomed to go there FFS. We're the pits.

Absolute pandering to the rabid swivel eyed far right gammon. Fuck me what a total mess Britain is in

planet faced tit darth javid

Very good.

Well, I'm convinced...

Maduro bad, for sure. But....

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/feb/19/maduro-government-richard-branson-rival-venezuela-concerts

is the tl;dr of the whole presidential saga that:

• Maduro won the election with ~68%
  
• but the opposition dispute the legitimately of those elections
  
• and as a result National Assembly Speaker Guaidó has declared himself acting president, despite not having stood(?) or being elected?
  

I was making a joke about Richard Branson.

America likes Guaido so he wins election he never ran in.

America is making up reasons to invade because they want oil/power. Same shit for the past 100 years.
