Given the entire governance structure of the BBC and many of the senior managers have been stacked with Tory cronies over the last decade I don’t think that’s still true.

Because it’s part of ongoing verbal attacks by Israel at Ireland. This isn’t an isolated incident it’s part of a much wider whole.

And there is also an unknown amount you can subtract from that demand which is the massive electric pumps that pump fuel into those ICE cars and between tanks in the petrol stations and from the depots into tankers that will no longer be needed.

Article 7 suspends their voting rights. Requires unanimity of all other EU members.

It’s the closest EU charter allows to evicting a member state. It effectively suspends the state’s membership.

Quite frankly the should have. Orban is a blatantly corrupt Putin lapdog who has been siphoning EU funds for years into his own pocket and that of his cronies.

Four arrested in Denmark, Netherlands on suspicion of planning terror attacks By: 3 - 4 minutes

Three people were arrested in coordinated actions across Denmark and one person in the Netherlands on suspicion of plotting to carry out “an act of terror,” Danish police said Thursday.

Flemming Drejer, operative head of Denmark’s Security and Intelligence Service, known by its acronym PET, said that Denmark was not changing the terror threat level, which has been at “serious,” the second-highest level, since 2010.

He added that the case had “threads abroad” and “was related to criminal gangs,” singling out the banned gang Loyal to Familia.

In January 2020, a Danish court upheld a nationwide police ban on the gang, saying that the LTF should be dissolved as illegal under Denmark’s constitution.

The gang had been behind gang feuds, violence, robberies, extortion and drug sales in the Danish capital and “had used violence and illegal means to achieve its goal," the Copenhagen District Court said then. In September 2018, police in Denmark issued a temporary ban against the LTF and said anyone seen wearing its logo could face prosecution.

”Persons abroad have been charged," he said.

"It is a serious situation,” Drejer told a press conference, adding the arrests were “carried out in close collaboration with our foreign partners,” and said those arrested were part of “a network.”

Drejer added that the suspects would face a custody hearing within 24 hours, likely behind “double closed doors,” meaning that he could not give details about the case, any target or motive.

“This is extremely serious,” Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said at a European Union summit in Brussels. "It shows the situation we are in in Denmark. Unfortunately.”

“It is absolutely true when both (Denmark’s intelligence agencies) say that there is a high risk in Denmark,” Frederiksen said. “It is of course completely unacceptable in relation to Israel and Gaza, that there is someone who takes a conflict somewhere else in the world into Danish society.”

Earlier this month, the European Union’s home affairs commissioner, Ylva Johansson, warned that Europe faces a “huge risk of terrorist attacks” over the Christmas holiday period due to the fallout from the war between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas.

While I love a good hate session against the billionaires as much as the next peon, it’s not the main reason

If we want to pretend/delude ourselves that we’re the good guys we need to operate within the rule of law (even though of course Putler doesn’t care about that).

Freezing assets - easy peasy legally sound plenty of precedent, no blow back on the various western governments who ordered the freezes.

Seizing assets however has lots of rules around it. If the west breaks those rules then they lose the “moral high ground” - the politicians care about that because then their opposition can attack them and they might lose the next election over it.

For the record I think we categorically are the good guys in this instance (Ukraine support), although it has certainly not always been true in the past for other conflicts

It’ll last until Erdogan is up for election

That’d be Sweden not Norway mate, and your plan is as well thought through as your fact checking. Shareholders have very limited recourse to sue over executive decisions, and withdrawing from a market in these circumstances isn’t one (noting it is an American company and that is under American law).

No it doesnt, it’s not law. That’s just how they decided to do it, and is why Tesla just won an injunction forcing them to allow pickup

Around 1250 I think (Magna Carta)

Russian propaganda headline at a time when Russia is doing another media push

I’m a salty remainer who detests Farage but there’s something deeply undemocratic when a party can get 10-15% of the vote and achieve no elected parliamentary representation, while the Tories get an unassailable majority with 34% of the vote

I’ll put up with some Farage-ist mouth breathers in westminster if we actually got some democracy in return

He’s more popular with the swinging soft right voters who move between tory and lib dem (centrist) in the formerly safe tory seats in the south they are now scared they’ll lose. He’s not particularly popular with core tories as he’s a remainer.

The primary reason for the selection is the lack of talent remaining for Sunak to choose from that won’t alienate the voters they need to retain a number of Tory seats. Boris purged anyone who wasn’t a foaming at the mouth brexiter before the last election, leaving Sunak with ideologues like Braverman & Patel to choose from, who are disliked by everyone bar the very hard right (15-20% of voters absolute tops).

At the moment the polls predict a “blue wall” collapse as severe as the “red wall” collapse at the last election. You don’t win back moderates’ votes by lurching ever further right.

Hence, moderate PM is bought back into the fold

There is no mechanism to do so

How do you shoot someone in the face and he survives ?

They have Slovakia as their new shield unfortunately

Well it pairs with the misleading headline saying “petrol & diesel cars banned” and then the first sentence of the article says Euro6 ICE are allowed.

I don’t think this media is a very reliable source

It was actually defined in the last sentence of the article

“Some £448m was pulled by retail investors from environment, social and governance (ESG) funds in August”

But I scrolled the article 3 times before I spotted it, so your point stands.

Cheers I was trying to give the benefit of the doubt, no idea what their problem is then.
