For the second time in as many weeks, a poll has shown support for the monarchy to be below 50%.
Scotland can be a modern, democratic republic with an elected and accountable head of state.
I suspect that it won't be long before 30p Lee Anderson is pushing shopping trolleys around the car park at his local Tesco. And that will be tragic, given his enormous entertainment value.
It's weird how white nationalists use 'Roman and Greek culture' as a way to support their racism.
I started as a kid being absolutely fascinated by Roman and Greek culture but the more I learned the more I understood it was part of a wider eastern Mediterranean culture that wasn't limited to 'white Europe' at all. https://neuromatch.social/@jonny/111773857278882617

"All I said is that I want people stopping from dying."
this is my goal too
and if russia has "peace" now for russia this only means it has been rewarded for its behavior. it takes the "peace" as time to replenish. and then start a new round of mass murdering later on some new contrived lie
the only way to stop people from dying is for russia to get nothing
British people cannot simply say hello when their friend enters the pub. Oh no no no.
Instead they must say “here he is!” or “who let you in?” Sometimes they might say “well look who decided to show up” even if the friend is on time. Or “fancy seeing you here!” or “who invited you?” despite the friend being invited and expected. Sometimes they might even say something that suggests they don’t recognise the friend at all, like “do I know you?” or “who are you and what have you done with John?” Maybe they’ll say “they just let anyone in here these days”, or “good timing, it’s your round”. Or perhaps they’ll simply let out a loud cheer.
But they will never just say hello.
How on earth did these not very bright people come to govern us, and how did they possess such significant power?

How a 27-Year-Old Codebreaker Busted the Myth of Bitcoin’s Anonymity. Once, drug dealers and money launderers saw cryptocurrency as perfectly untraceable. Then a grad student named Sarah Meiklejohn proved them all wrong—and set the stage for a decade-long crackdown. https://www.wired.com/story/27-year-old-codebreaker-busted-myth-bitcoins-anonymity/

"King Charles to be treated for benign prostate condition"
My thoughts are with those men who have a malignant prostate condition.
In a move guaranteed to get British Republicans grinding their teeth, the UK Govt. has put aside £8mn to fund every public institution in the country to obtain & display a copy of Hugo Burnand's portrait of King Charles III.
As Graham Smith of Republic says, its a 'shameful waste of money'.... the application deadline has recently been extended.... maybe not as many institutions have been keen to grasp this 'opportunity'?

"Europe should not fear standing alone if US adopts ‘America First’ policy in 2024, says Belgian prime minister"
De Croo is right, you know.
If he runs, Biden will likely lose the presidency to Trump v2, and the latter, if he carries through with his Project 2025 to reshape the entire federal government in his own image, will plunge the country into a darkness from which it will take years to emerge.
In its current form, NATO will be no more, Trump will share everything with Putin, and Europe will stand alone against both the Amero-Eurasian axis and China.
Europe has no choice but to lead the free world in cooperation with pockets of democracy throughout the rest of the world.
Hyperbole? Until 2016, we laughed at the very idea of Trump. The world could never be that stupid, we said. Reason and common sense will prevail. Oh yes.
