@ImNux@jurnalhabertr 100%, I'm not hating on the US for it but I've seen some horror stories of people getting in trouble for giving their neighbours who had been cut off water. Maybe it helps that the UK is a small rainy island, but they'd really stop a human being from having water over there!?
@WisdomConquer@kmtildsley@ArseOpinions@jurnalhabertr His first house he bought was in London though so that part appears correct.
No to your 2nd point also, the (clearly nonsense) story said he was mid-shower.
If a house in the UK does for some reason have no water supply, it is legally unhabitable (so you can't get a mortgage)
@ImNux@jurnalhabertr Other utilities like gas and electric are different, they can shut those off. Water is viewed differently in the UK though as it is deemed a basic human right, so they can't legally stop the supply.
@ImNux@jurnalhabertr Yeah, if you didn't sort repayment they'd take you to court and you'd get a CCJ, and if you still don't pay its court again and an attachment of earnings order (where they take it direct from your wages) if you're really poor they make you pay a token amount (£1 per month)
@alineramosme I didn't know that this is viewed as a supremast symbol in the Americas, I recognised it as the circle game as he's makin an OK symbol below his waist, or in Australia they call it ballgazing
@_jchem_@sugabelly Depends, my brother was born with hydrocephalus (this condition) if its congential it can be detected around the 3rd trimester but many infants develop it after birth (anyone at any age can develop it) it can be treated and around 50% can have a perfectly normal life.
@RamblingSingh Wouldn't something be standardised if its the law of the land? Many countries ban them outright, would this not be a fair compromise for daily wear, and larger exemptions to be allowed for religious festivals and events? Does a Kirpan under 3inch fufil the religious obligation?
@AutMelanieJames@hilltopjennifer@LairdOfThManor Are people in these comments that dumb, or are they completely uneducated and have never left the house? Here's an example of a mixed family (yes all of the kids are biologically theirs)
@JoeCarpentyah@LeftBrexit@JAMvsJAM Where did you get that info from about his parents bud? I have no idea of their origins myself, but I did see Henry's fathers statement and he quite clearly had a british accent, and we have no idea what his mothers maiden name is, so are you just making stuff up?
@colinrtalbot Everyone I know that wears one usually carries a blunt replica (if they're wearing full highland dress its usually for an event, and as pubs/bars/venues are well within their rights to refuse you entry with one)
@nickurrz@MarkSharon_DP@fleetstreetfox Nope, which is why I didn't give the example of a kirpan as a way to identify a sikh, just as not all catholics wear a crucifix.
@rickyg2k3@Rekt57v@PaulSutton66@Adrian_Hilton@TanDhesi Would limiting the size of the Kirpan worn daily to 3inchs (the max size most people are allowed to carry) be a fair comprimise? With special exemptions of course for religious festivals and events, like the Sgian dubh? (Though most people I know use a blunt replica anyway)
