Just a thought, maybe the UK should make Sajid Javid PM just to give a massive middle finger up Trumps arse.

Sudoku? Is that an intentional typo? I tried to see if autocorrect tried to change it and it didn't. Anyhow, was just a thought, looks like Britain will have a no-deal Brexit crash through no matter who becomes PM. Theres no guarantee that a new PM will be able to negotiate any better because the negotiation conditions aren't going to change, and time is extremely limited compared to two years.

Tbf, a different PM might actually propose a deal which the UK could actually stomach. Getting the EU to stomach it too would be the key, but these things require compromise - which was not at the heart of May's surrender treaty.

And yes, intentional typo. It's a oft-used corruption of seppuku.

Correct me if I'm wrong, the issue of the NI-RoI border is pretty much the last thing that needs to be figured out before a deal can be inked, right? Well, the problem is that it seems like what the EU can stomach and what Britain can stomach don't even overlap here. The EU hasn't and isn't going to change it's position and whoever becomes PM is going to face the same political pressures as Theresa May did. It's just hard for me to see any compromise happening when Parliament has rejected just about every possible compromise.

In which case I guess we'll have to deliver on the referendum in the only way remaining - No Deal.

It will be interesting to see how many hard lines are blurred as that becomes more likely.

As for the NI/ROI border, it's really struck me as something of a non-issue. And I live near it.

You're not a dissident Republican getting upset about the British shitting things up again, though.

To be fair to them, the British seem to have a habit of messing things up for the Irish :P

"Dissident republican," hah. Someone swallowed the PC dictionary.

The word you are looking for is "terrorist." A spade's a spade.

And whether they are peeved is immaterial. Any time a political decision pertaining to Northern Ireland crops up, the spectre of the violent and unstable Ulsterman is conjured up alongside it. The same argument was put forward - the extremists will love it! - when Home Rule was being debated. Screw the terrorists up, down and sideways. They will not decide the political future of my country.

And I think you will find that to be a popular opinion.

Oh, don't worry. We are more than capable of doing that on our own. The rest of the UK need not be concerned on that front.

They will, though. That's why politicians love to do stupid shit that will cause more terrorists. Terrorists are a great boogeyman that allows them to do what the hell the want, and politicians are generally isolated from them. Politicians will shut down any arguments about their plans with "but terrorists" and people will eat that shit up even though they know they're getting fucked. So terrorists hurt citizens living under shitty rulers because they can't get to the rulers, then the rulers take advantage of the attacks to make things even worse.

So what you're saying is, if we want to stop terrorism, we need to escort the terrorists to the politicians and let them kill them until the politicians stop being stupid? (Note to the NSA: This is a joke)

Terrorists and the alleged Politicians should fight cage matches in order to sort out their differences.

Norway has finalized the changes to restrict access to selective reduction procedures in multiple pregnancies. If a mother has two or more fetuses and wishes to abort one while carrying the other to term, she will now need to appeal to a council in order to have her request evaluated and granted/denied. The council will still only be evaluating cases that are within the limits previously allowed for at-will reductions, and pregnancies that have advanced beyond that time limit will not be considered.

The Christian People's Party, the impetus behind this change, was however not granted all the changes they wanted to make to Norwegian abortion law. It's still legal for late-term pregnancies to be aborted in the case of severe medical complications in the fetus.


This is the first time the Norwegian abortion law has been restricted in 40 years.


Meanwhile, Politicians from the Christian and Conservative parties are assuring everyone that "No no, this isn't opening the way for further restrictions on abortion freedoms or anything. Perish the thought". Surprisingly, few people are taking them at their word.

After the decision was voted on and finalized, the Prime Minister said that they were "Still open to hearing opinions on whether or not they should do it". Considering it's already been done, nobody's really sure what that statement was supposed to mean.
