In the news

No, I don't think the lower burden of evidence required in a civil court should matter when there is evidence of multiple acts over many years, and that it should be enough to put people off, even if technically he's still allowed to run

The cruelty is the point.

Even the ej carol's lawyer has been on the American news channels calling it sexual assault. It may have been rape but I'm sure the case only found for sexual assault

They explicitly found not guilty for rape.

The judge said it was rape https://archive.ph/mnWh8/again?url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/07/19/trump-carroll-judge-rape/

Can you imagine what Trump has in mind for his final resting place? It'll make the Lincoln Memorial blush.

Ah yes, depends on your definition it seems

The finding that Ms. Carroll failed to prove that she was ‘raped’ within the meaning of the New York Penal Law does not mean that she failed to prove that Mr. Trump ‘raped’ her as many people commonly understand the word ‘rape,’ ” Kaplan wrote

Personal envoy from Biden is my guess. Perhaps about Putin winning in Ukraine? Or trump winning in the US? Or Israel going rogue? Or China invading Taiwan?

Could also be aliens. I wouldn’t be surprised at this point, this reality show is making less sense with each season.

Fwiw New York's definition is essentially the same as in England and Wales.

BBC say sorry for calling Reform far-right:

When Paulette Hamilton was elected Birmingham's first black MP, why
did Ginny H Ball tweet "Staggered it is still called The black
country.... or perhaps not"? What was she trying to say?

When snowfall caused transport problems in December 2023 Ginny H Ball
tweeted "If the snow was black perhaps it wouldn't be a problem"...

What am I missing here?

✅ Localism
✅ Reduce international food transport
✅ Tweed

I mean that could be half the people on here surely?

Because they aren't left or right they are just there to make billionaires richer

Never seen a place recommended before because of its lack of self-service checkouts.

Lol, sounds a bit like JFK when he visited Nazi Germany.

I wonder what her point was? Is she saying that life in Dubai is easier because there’s people taking care of things, despite nobody paying income tax? Or is she irritated that we don’t use slave labour to take care of society’s basic necessities?

She's 'proving' that you can remove income tax and still have an excellent and highly functioning a country.

As you point out there are a couple of other bits you need.

3m people vs 67m, probably helps. Although interestingly we both have about the same GDP per capita.

Conveniently leaves slave labour or rivers of oil money out of the equation.

The racist bit of the black country.

Remember that rivers of blood speach, where was it again?

Oh and Eric Claptons racist rant at his concert. The one that is quite forgotten and never mentioned.

So kings Cross station had a thing for Ramadan, (we are all sinners, and good to confess) and seems not appropriate. Feels very islamaphobic as well as catholicphobic. (Is that a word?)

i think user amey in the brexshitting brexit thread was saying he wants to move there for the same reasons 🤣

I only found out this week that is Nigel Tuffnel in Spinal Tap cos it's a boring first name and a London area surname. Like Eric Clapton.

Yes. A cycle lane is what killed commerce in Rochdale.
