How secure are our liberties in the UK? I notice when ever I bring up ideas of implementing an unchangeable document that serves as a primary foundation of law, outlining the inalienable rights of the individual; one that can never be repealed by parliament, I sometimes hear " never gonna happen." And yet, it was surely far more inconceivable once upon a time, to imagine the creation of an elected Parliament and its legislative supremacy, that curtailed the power of a monarch when u consider the long history of this country.
What I've long been advocating for, IS controversial of course. It would fundamentally alter the system of governance in this country, but u should come to know why it is absolutely crucial, and that in reality , there can be no Parliament acting on your behalf without the knowledge that the sovereignty of the individual is primary. Flipped around , it would mean the state is primary, that liberties are secondary, a set of temporary privelages that can be potentially repealed or come into conflict with future acts of parliment ,that infringe on these liberties -should any group, majority or government demand it. If liberties come second, where does government get its authority to govern with consent in the first place? And is it right , that these liberties can be potentially vanquished by the peoples consent? It is time to move beyond empty rhetoric surrounding our liberties, that exist only in the form of statutory acts; and secure them indefinitely for future generations, as a check against tyrannical governments and yes-the tyrannical tendencies of the people themselves.
Democracy is a system of experimentation where nothing is secure except experimentation itself . On the face of it that sounds all well and good, but is liberty- the right to life itself, only valid if the people will it? That should become legally void if a majority-or any number within a group can be convinced to abandon it?
Ideas set the course of a culture, the culture determines and shapes the politics. To argue against the sovereignty of the individual, that democracy is supreme, is to accept the supremacy of multiculturalism itself, wether it comes from the mouths of the right or the left. A functioning multicultural society is only possible -if individual rights is the anchor, acting as the moral foundation of law. Multicultural does not imply multi-ethnic . As history will show you, individuals within a given ethnic group are not a bunch of robots that share identical beliefs that value the same things. People splinter into smaller groups because all individuals have free will, minds, and the capacity to change them. Groups are simply a number of Individuals. These factions can only truly come into conflict under a system where individual rights are absent, because it becomes the concern of those within each of these groups to increase their numbers, and suppress the growth of the others in fear of having a different set of beliefs & values imposed upon them through the political process itself -or worse -through the implementation of physical force.
@LeahRay44 When u say " enjoying the culture " does this include anything outside of eating out & shopping ? ๐ like , are u planning to learn anything actually about the culture itself, like going to a museum or something, or are u just gonna do what you'd be doing in the UK ?
@CoachKartShyam Annoying isn't it, that Elon musks word filter system is absolute dog shit. I've tried everything to avoid reading non stop stadium bashing & bragging posts and nothings changed
@ian4downton Nothing to do with it. You said a previous winner never has to go through qualifiers ever again, u mean that literally ? Not just a pass at the next tournament?
@caperinalberta@MoMohler Abused to disrupt a team on the attack since there's no rule that says the reff MUST stop the game for injuries not deemed fouls....unless ( and now u can imagine how this is abused) it's a head injury.
@caperinalberta@MoMohler Yup and I see it's appeared in basketball now too. In football it appeared because it use to be an unwritten sportsman like rule to knock the ball out of play when the other team had an injured player, putting u at a numerical advantage. So u can imagine hiw this then got...
@angelcircleclub@HallowedVR@MilanZak6 No. It's all a matter of choice and lack of ideas. The nba teams COULD start up academies in their local communities, with no pay to play necessary just like in the uk. They COULD give pro training from am even earlier age to kids who will be priced out of higher education .
@angelcircleclub@HallowedVR@MilanZak6 Has no integrated pyramid system. U have a single division with around 20 odd teams vs the English pyramid where the upper tiers are professional full timers. Much more opportunity for the poor.
@angelcircleclub@HallowedVR@MilanZak6 The professional stage . It's the main gateway. In England it's not even like schooling goes out the window. Modern academies encourage an education and even have tutors and rooms on site for studying. Imagine how many poor kids football takes out of poverty. Plus your country..
@angelcircleclub@HallowedVR@MilanZak6 ๐ on the contrary. The American system requires students to hold down GRADES to quslify to attend college, maintain grades to play. many students cannot qualify for collrge or afford to pay 4 it, that come from poorer backgrounds. None of this is an obstacle with academies.
@Thebigsoll The 1 thing that's put me off about this world cup has fuck all to do with all the stuff most are moaning about. It's our OWN fans. It's listening in advance to the scapegoating that's gonna occur towards arsenal players or anybody else for that matter when England drop points
@Huthisback The roof is an eye sore tbf. Leaves the pitch looking like a grid to play tic tac toe or something and turns thre stadium into a butterfly house . Other than that , it's really good .
@gov_fails Reword them in a way that reflects our general character: there's dry humour, sarcasm, insults , swearing, praise and its all done through melody. It's tribal . I've been to US arenas, it's reminiscent of a larger scale Sea world show. It's your thing , it's just different.
@gov_fails Excellent. I simply prefer European crowd characteristics. They're a contrast. Yours are molded by a corporate/family friendly wholesome environment with your monotone one word chanting and desire to create a massive stage show. European crowds sing. We take famous songs and....
