For private citizens yes.

If a nations official forces do it. It is an act of war.

Cool. Crime but who cares.

Now the important question. Who the fuck paid 300k for a statue of her.

If public funds were involved. That's a fucking hanging offence.

If not. Tut tut typical sign of tory refusal to invest in mental health.

Yep well considering the US leadership is basically following 1930s Germany as a guide.

The exact reason the ICC was formed. Yeah objections are to be expected.

Industry groups are furious.

Likely the best sign it's the right thing to do.

Until the cost of using plastic matches the cost of removing it from our environment. No one is truly going to provide the support needed to bring the cost of safer replacements down to a point where industry will care.

Just like all damage to the environment. Until world governments are willing to agree to make those profiting pay all current and future costs of clean-up. Capitalism will never accept its role n the task.

Remove carrots and start some application of fucking big sticks.

Again.

Every few years we hear a nations gov say this. Them m$ makes a deal to good to be true. And it all resets.

It's basically become an accounting trick for national govs.

Important reminder.

Since water was privatised under thatcher. The companies have sold off 30 reservoirs. Filling them for development etc.

Remember this fact every time they seek help.

Great. More housing on the market. Because you openly admit you do not care about your tenents.

With any luck enough landlords who only see properly as an investment opportunity. Will copy you. And the housing market will correct.

Unlikely though as it's a global issue ATM. So many will invest even with tenants having some extra rights.

Yep pretty much but on a larger scale.

1st please do not believe the bull that there was no problem. Many folks like me were paid to fix it before it was an issue. So other than a few companies, few saw the result, not because it did not exist. But because we were warned. People make jokes about the over panic. But if that had not happened, it would hav been years to fix, not days. Because without the panic, most corporations would have ignored it. Honestly, the panic scared shareholders. So boards of directors had to get experts to confirm the systems were compliant. And so much dependent crap was found running it was insane.

But the exaggerations of planes falling out of the sky etc. Was also bull. Most systems would have failed but BSOD would be rare, but code would crash and some works with errors shutting it down cleanly, some undiscovered until a short while later. As accounting or other errors showed up.

As other have said. The issue was that since the 1960s, computers were set up to treat years as 2 digits. So had no expectation to handle 2000 other than assume it was 1900. While from the early 90s most systems were built with ways to adapt to it. Not all were, as many were only developing top layer stuff. And many libraries etc had not been checked for this issue. Huge amounts of the infra of the world's IT ran on legacy systems. Especially in the financial sector where I worked at the time.

The internet was a fairly new thing. So often stuff had been running for decades with no one needing to change it. Or having any real knowledge of how it was coded. So folks like me were forced to hunt through code or often replace systems that were badly documented or more often not at all.

A lot of modern software development practices grew out of discovering what a fucking mess can grow if people accept an "if it ain't broke, don't touch it" mentality.

And, as everyone here says. He is correct. It is an investment. Not work. Yes you are taking a risk, that is the point. If you work, you should not be taking a risk. But instead paid for your labour.

Unfortunately, saying it here doesn't matter. Papers like the telegraph and other Tory press are not going to care about the facts. They only care about creating division.

More importantly, Starmer et al. Are also not going to make the effort to argue this case. No effort is going to be made to push forward the true difference between working class income and actual investment income.

Anyone watching saw this argument starting during the election. It was clear then when labour started talking about working taxes. The Tories instantly started arguing that the Tories were talking about not raising taxers at all. Anyone watching saw this discussion forming.

And Starmer et al. intentionally ignored it rather than draw attention to the difference. They will not bother to fight the terminology now either.

So he moved his company out of the UK to avoid tax.

Refusing to cover his share of building the infer structure his and other companies depend on. Also making it harder for non-shitty companies to compete.

And now wonders why the UK is forced to reevaluate how taxing shitty idiots like this needs to work,

Translation. We have less options to over charge the UK then any other nation.

Wha twha we only make a lot of money.

You know what Tories.

If you have been beating the shit out of the donkey for 13years. But the stick aint getting it to go where you want.

Maybe you have broken the poor fuckers back.

Add the fact. It took the guardian contacting them for them to recognise the fault.

If this customer was not a high up academic, the guardian would not have shown interest.

Yet the bank froze his account preventing him from withdrawing his own money. With no police or court involvement.

Why the hell is that not pulling up a more serious investigation from the FCA.

That will be down to the UK government not NATO.

It is certainly possible. But our current military leaders have made it clear in the past,

1 career milatary volunteer is worth 100s of untrained forced fighters.

The cost of training huge numbers of conscripted fighters. When fighting a modern battle. Is not going to be the first choice of our military by any means. Moving from a total voluntary army to conscription would take a huge change in our forces. More so then the US that at least still keeps records suitable for drafting young fighters.

Raising children requires hope for he future.

Of course the first post ww2 generation to see lower prospects then their parents. Will hesitate to bring children into that future.

First remember pubs do not exist. They are entirely fictional. They were created to confuse potential invaders during the 2nd World War.

Basically pubs are public toilets containing the most dangerous people in the UK. Improv actors. Designed to confuse the shit out of foreign agents.

Not the same people.

This article is a legal opinion. Not a government one. The gov has not admitted that a genocide is happening. Risk of one is still the closest they have gotten.

The current UK gov is consistent in their arsehollery if nothing else.

Number of people with ultranationalist views rising. As 3 main parties start pushing fascist ideology. Media "acts" surprised.

Yeah but wait till they collasps.

Otherwise they will claim they have value. And I do not trust the gov not to agree,

They will respond politically. And that is all.

The history means every nation in Europe is split to hell on this subject. So what ever action any specific gov takes. Will be the end of that gov. So no gov will have the courage to challenge with anything but diplomacy.
