@BritainUnbound Once you sign up to join the Euro ‘when ready’, a politician can then decide to join it without referring back to the electorate (as they had previously agreed to it). So any vote on rejoin needs to assume they would be joining the Euro & vote accordingly.
Von der Leyen is coming for Europe’s wallet, by Thomas Fazi (@battleforeurope)
If the Commission deems a government non-compliant with the rule of law — as understood, of course, by Brussels — funds cannot simply be frozen; they can be redirected to civil-society organisations and “European values” programmes approved by the Commission itself.
This amounts to the creation of a system of permanent EU-managed political pressure.

Quand un chef écossais conduit son clan en centre-ville (ici, le clan Innes), pour perpétuer la tradition de manière festive, c'est vraiment impressionnant !
Waouh ! 😲
Préservons nos cultures locales et nationales ! 👍
@TrevorGreetham@afneil I don’t think anyone is arguing ‘no damage’, the NBER & OBR model becoming a consensus for the amount of damage is bollocks, & I think deliberate bollocks.
Every single person who still cringes at the memory of trying to bullshit their way through an interview or exam question: today, the slate is wiped clean. Set down your burden of shame. Nothing - nothing, I say - could touch this.
@peter_sarris@jfwduffield She could not be more wrong. Anyone believing you could plant migrants in NI or Ireland & not end up in riots is deluded.
A 15-year-old girl who had loved wrestling since she was four got put on a mat against a fucking male while the adults in charge knew exactly what they were doing.
She didn’t know. They did. By the end of that match she was sobbing and running to her mother after getting digitally raped through her singlet. She still had to shake the bastard’s hand. Her own coaches just walked the fuck away.
Her mother reported it the next day like any decent parent would. The law and their own policy said report it to the Title IX coordinator immediately and get law enforcement involved within 48 hours.
These gutless fucks did nothing for 53 days. Fifty-three fucking days of silence while they protected their precious policy and kept letting males into girls’ sports.
Only when a journalist started asking questions did these cowards suddenly remember how to do their fucking jobs. The next day they finally filed the report.
The principal had the balls to call the mother afterward and say they take this shit “very seriously.” Seriously? You spineless pricks sat on a sexual assault complaint for nearly two months and only moved when the press showed up.
And what did it cost? The girl quit wrestling. A sport she’d loved since she was four years old. She quit because she no longer trusted the adults in charge to protect her. Students bullied the shit out of her after the story broke and not one coach or administrator lifted a finger to stop it.
They protected the policy. They protected their own asses. They left the girl to carry it alone. Fuck every last one of them.

@SamuelVimes10 That is part of the job for manufacturing, however they are being asked to do multiple things that are not. Increasingly basic admin work for managers, excel sheets, preparing reports etc. Enough that it becomes a quasi admin role.
@AnthonyGlees@PKirkbright@GBNEWS There is zero chance he would backtrack. Interestingly Blair had these types of discussions decades ago. Remarkable that we have had record migration for 30+ years & politics has still not caught up.
