@KarlreMarks The Palace still take a an MP "hostage" during the monarch's speech to parliament every year in case we get fancy notions of regicide like we did in 1649. Also, the hostage traditionally wears striped trousers, because someone wore them a couple of centuries ago and we liked it.
British democracy be like: 'the monarch can't dismiss the prime minister unless the Fiddlington of Propriety establishes that the three conditions set by the Serjeant of Tiddlywinkles in 1662 have been met according to the Ballcock Principle.'
The way British democracy works is that someone then responds "but what about the Farcombsgrange Deviation of 1344?" Nobody has the courage to say you just made that up, because nobody is sure if it exists or not. From then on, the Farcombsgrange Deviation becomes a norm.
Chatterji developed his thesis after an amazing discovery, he observed that the map of ancient European tribes and modern football club support are almost identical, pointing to historical patterns of continuity of affiliation (HPCA). It was a turning point for the field.
Al-Mouhaji (2002) in his seminal study of European conflict tendencies attributed this primarily to the pork and beef based diet which is rich in zinc and iron, two minerals that have been proven to stimulate the aggression glands. Hence the expression "I got beef with you"
That’s embarrassing. #Egypt blocked website of US gov arabic channel on first day of Sisi’s visit to US. BBC Arabic website also blocked today. Both carried coverage of last night protests

Wasn't Trump the guy who tweeted we shouldn't fight Saudi Arabia's wars for them and accused them of supporting terrorism and said he's America First and doesn't want to engage troops in needless battles and...oh forget it.
JUST IN: United States will deploy more troops to the Middle East on the heels of the Iranian attack on Saudi Arabian oil facilities. https://t.co/uH30yEMF8Y
The Edinburgh #climatestrike is easily one of the biggest marches ever seen at the Scottish Parliament. The message is clear: we need radical action to protect our future, and we need to take it now. 🌍
A president is sitting in the Oval Office, right now, who continues to commit crimes. He continues because he knows his Justice Department won't act and believes Congress won’t either. Today’s news confirmed he thinks he’s above the law. If we do nothing, he’ll be right.
Can we build tally of verified credible videos below? I'll create a thread of them. Please share videos u have & how u can confirm theyre from today. We need to sift through many fakes. Something is definitely happening & it's significant but fake videos undermine real opposition
It’s quite right that students and today's younger generation should have serious concerns about the climate crisis and its effect on the environment. They are being very realistic about the future. They see we need to listen to scientists. We should encourage them.
