@PronouncedHare That may be relevant to whether he should have been appointed to the position of Vice-Chancellor, but it doesn't change the fact that the Vice-Chancellor is a position of academic leadership, not just an administrative job.
@Bob247874 It's surprising that the village of Stansted (population 8,691) manages to get so much international interest in its airport, the fourth-busiest in the UK with 29,758,490 passengers last year.
@foxcar_joey Major international cities definitely never have significantly fewer people with their city boundaries than in their metropolitan area. This will be a truly unfamiliar issue to international airline executives.
@Bob247874@cha0s10g1c Yeah their work with either side schtick doesn't make sense with their policies. Working with National would require selling out on their major policy positions.
@Bob247874 Sorry Bob didn't you know that the Nats are all socially liberal environmentalists who are sadly being held hostage by Shane Jones, Winston Peters and David Seymour?
@SlumberCrown@lorem_ipsum_93@nikicaga You might be thinking of his father, the briefly-reigning Kaiser Frederick III, who denounced anti-Semitism and attended synagogue services to show his solidarity with Jews during a period of anti-Semitic agitation when he was Crown Prince.
@tc1415 Judges can of course make mistakes, but the idea that the judges in the majority refused to make a correct decision is bizarre. Clearly they thought the decision they reached was the correct one.
@tc1415 It means that the current Supreme Court judges who heard this new case thought it was incorrect. That doesn't tell us whether the new decision or the old decision is correct. They didn't refuse to make a correct decision; they thought they were making a correct decision.
@PronouncedHare I think lots of things can be morally relevant in evaluating how bad a murder is. They generally don't change the fact that the muder was very bad, but they can have some mitigating effect. Judges engage in this process when sentencing all the time.
