The fuckup was the moment where, against the wishes of allies, they decided to immediately dismantle the Iraqi military, meaning tens of thousands of trained fighters suddenly lost the ability to feed their families, and anyone with a bit of money could buy a ready-made militia with weapons and local knowledge advantage.

Dissolution of Parliament is a thing that happens every time an election is called. It’s not about taking control of Parliament, as an election must be held, and Parliament retains its dual sovereignty.

The hats were made famous by a legendary Fr*nch regiment. When that regiment was given a damn good spanking, the British captured the hats, and started wearing them to taunt the Fr*nch.

Fund universal healthcare. Doesn’t sit well with me that people willing to kill for a career get any special treatment at all.

About the vintage stuff - they got that from Hollywood costume and props rental houses, and only started organising that last-minute, so they got rinsed on the price.

Mandela literally founded the paramilitary wing of the ANC which murdered children, robbed banks and fought proxy wars as mercenaries in neighbouring countries where they committed heinous war crimes. But he did give good speech. He is literally the embodiment of the statement in the image.

His wife was evil through and through though.

Advice from someone with clear critical thinking issues

America won’t have schools in 20 years. If they did, reports would be authored by Chatbots. The rest of the world will have moved on to a world without USA.

Ironically, it was PornHub’s parent company that was set to run the UK age verification scheme.

Remember to eat fibre as you want to be well-regulated.

They have representation in other ways. For instance in Britain, where it is illegal for police to unionise, there is instead a government-funded Police Federation, which independently advocates for police working conditions and supplies advice and representation for police in disciplinary affairs. The main difference from a union is that it is free to members and that police are not allowed to go on strike. This removes a lot of the worst abuses of power.

That sticker was exclusive to the LAPD, but it kept turning up in films made in Hollywood set elsewhere, so other regions adopted it eventually too.

They’re referring to a font used in promotional materials, rather than the advert itself.

That’s a myth. The music was licenced, as was the font.

Seeing as government has directly set all ticket prices for the past 5 years, that’s not going to happen.

Rail prices in Britain are set largely to manage demand, as there is significant congestion. If tickets were reduced, too many people would try to travel at peak hours.

It’s also been the philosophy of every government since the 1950s that railways should fund themselves as much as possible, so central funding is lower than elsewhere.

Kennedy got to the moon by giving some Nazis a free pass for heavy participation in the Holocaust.

Clinton got to the White House by pushing for and signing the death warrant for a man who was executed with a mental age of 9 as a campaign stunt. Also a serial molester.

Obama became Pakistan’s No.1 Wedding crasher, had a personal kill list, reneged on his promise to close the US concentration camp in Cuba and bugged Merkel’s phone.

If these are the best examples someone can come up with, it rather illustrates how we got to this point. Those were the “good” ones.
