In Kharkiv, children began the school year in underground classrooms. Windowless shelters built for survival. No child should ever have to attend such a school, but we have no choice.
I can imagine SFās reaction to it, āOh so you want to renegotiate it? OK, just give us a date for a Border Pollā¦ā
Remember āthe Malthouse Compromise?ā Its proponents basically said āOur Sovereign Parliament has decided this so you Johnny Foreigners had better jolly well give us what we want!ā They never understood that U.K. sovereignty ends at the borders and isnāt binding on others š¤¦āāļø
Jill Stein and Cornel West both disgust me ā such goddamn, self-serving hypocrites.
Itās worth pointing out that the withdrawal of special category status for Republican prisoners that culminated in the Hunger Strikes and SFās electoral breakthrough was a policy started under Roy Mason in the mid 70ās. Martin McGuinness even said that āMason broke our balls!ā
Ah school run, how Iāve missed you.
I wonder what condition SF would set for a renegotiation? I suspect it would be something the DUP wouldnāt likeā¦.
If they invade, which is unlikely, all those militias will copy the Iraq playbook and melt into the background, then start ambushing US troops and logistics. It will make that debacle look like a master stroke
Ironically if you compare all three religions Judaism and Islam are more closely related. Itās Christianity thats the weird, heretical offshoot.
āToil for 8 hours a day in your local refinery, if you donāt get maimed in an industrial accident youāll probably be worn out by your late 50ās but will have to toil on as you wonāt be eligible for a pension and youāll develop cancer and respiratory damage from the toxic environment you toiled in!
The gospels were written when the early Church was trying to survive being persecuted by Rome. To me it seems clear that they twisted the story to be acceptable to the authorities and absolved them of blame for Jesusā crucifixion at the expense of the Jews. 3/3
When I first came across Josephusā accounts of the Roman War, which he wrote literally under threat of crucifixion, the narrative seemed similar to that of Pilate at the crucifixion. āWe really donāt want to be so cruel but the Jews were such crazy fanatics that we had to!ā 2/n
Something I noticed in my teens was how the Gospels had a big pro-Roman narrative, āgive unto Caesarā¦ā Pilate wanting to spare Jesus, the Centurion at Calvary, it simply isnāt the sort of thing written by people who were being repressed , itās more like a Collaboratorās account 1/n
off he could find 10 righteous people in it. To me it seemed a clear example of the same principle, why were innocent people dying because of sinners, she hardly spoke to me for the rest of her life. Within a few more years I was certain it was all nonsense.
When I was young I had a huge row with my devout Presbyterian granny who thought AIDS was Godās curse on gay people. I asked her why then were people like Paul Michael Glaserās family dying from it, she got really annoyed when I mentioned how God promised Abraham how he wouldnāt destroy Sodom 1/n

Iād been on a birthday night out and saw the first reports when I got home and checked the TV before going to bed. I didnāt wake up until about 9 the next morning, I remember Martin Lewis interviewing Tom Cruise on the phone with him ranting about paparazzi. The next week was just so unreal

I said earlier that I think heās undergone an operation and they donāt want to admit that theyāve had to transfer power to Vance as legally required. Heās not dead but itās another step in his decline

24 hour news channels are probably as corrosive as social media. Big news events as exceedingly rare so they have to fill time with nonsense. CNN was derided as āChicken Noodle Newsā until the Challenger Disaster and subsequently the Gulf War raised its profile

has to go under anaesthesia, Congress has to be notified and Vance assumes power temporarily. Thereās no way theyād admit to that happening and we know they just ignore laws that donāt suit. So theyāve hushed it up while he recovers. If his appearance has worsened when he finally dies appear 2/n
Something is clearly up, this was the risk they took when they had to admit he had CHD, especially in the social media age any suggestion about failing health is going to create wild speculation. Personally I think heās alive but has had to undergo a procedure or even surgery, legally if he 1/n
Another watershed moment. In the past news agencies would inform Israel of the locations of their teams to protect them from attacks. Now they do not inform Israel of the location of their teams. www.spiegel.de/ausland/isra...

If āheā really is about to shuffle off, can you imagine how utterly tacky and tasteless the state funeral will be? The ceremonies around the Queenās passing were amazing, and even as an atheist and someone ambivalent about the monarchy, the symbolism was very moving.
The trope of sellouts writing books after years of enriching themselves by being and/or aligning themselves with bastards, suddenly seeing things clearly and positioning themselves as some great authority to be listened to, is as infuriating as it is effective. The media lap it up every time.

The unworkability of Reform's immigration plans is a feature not a bug. It guarantees that other parties will keep them in the spotlight by trying to tear holes in them. Meanwhile the people who don't do nuance will feel even more vindicated at their choice of disrupter party.

Good job the US hasnāt done anything really stoopid, like firing thousands of highly qualified specialists and putting a heroin wasted eugenicist who swallows conspiracy theories snd had part of his brain eaten by a worm in charge of the response.
Sounds like what you'd hear out of Oklahoma and the Bible Belt. Wouldn't be surprised if the mother & step-father abused the girl, she could've died. Apparently they "home-schooled". Too often religious parents will bypass doctors & hospitals, & just pray instead. š¤¬ www.yahoo.com/news/article...
