UK politics are so loving weird. At least the vast majority of US right wing freaks manage to keep a facade of normalcy most of the time.

How ANY person on earth could vote for that loving freak Widdecombe is unbelievable. Louis Theroux did an episode on her that is on YouTube.

they voted for the brexit party and got her due to how MEP voting works. parties put up lists of people and the more votes the party gets the more chance of getting their 2nd/3rd choice

Yeah that works for some parliamentary candidates here where they get a celebrity to run as protest vote, get a million votes and manage to drag a few lunatics into congress.

My understanding is that the government of Hong Kong is making an agreement with the Chinese federal government so that China can get Hong Kong to hand over people who broke Chinese laws. Now people in Hong Kong are scared that they could get arrested for pissing off the Chinese government.

no, this is wrong, and this interpretation is where all the bullshit hand-wringing and sappy nostalgia for the colonial era come from. it has to be a violation of a law that exists in both hk and china, it has to be an offense with a minimum of seven years' jail time as punishment, and it cannot be a political offense.

Larry Niven, like drat near every white male sci-fi author in the 60s-70s, way to eager to write about fuckin'. And it's sad and creepy and I can't believe how much of the second Ringworld book I slogged through before I threw it across the room.

And elsewhere in the same book, the protagonist has sex with a prepubescent child and this is treated as normal.

Literally, that it would have been rude to her parents to refuse to do so.
