Probably the best thread I've ever read on twitter .

If you didn't watch the Perun video on corruption in Russian armed forces I linked back a bit this Twitter thread offers much the same (and is much faster to consume).

Odds of Glastonbury not being a super-spreading event?

It's an interesting comparison, particularly if debating with Russians. Russia and China kept Vietnam supplied with weapons, including tanks / jets. Similarly Russia and China kept North Korea supplied with weaponry, in China's case going so far as to intervene militarily (disastrously, but that's another matter).

Macron's parliament is up for election this Sunday, so it depends what the opinion polls are saying. Let's hope Melenchon does badly.

Appears to be a simpler answer, the general consensus amongst most members is just to ignore rulings they dont like and not implement them. Unsurprisingly, the UK has a better record than most. www.einnetwork.org/countries-overviewThere's no point having laws that you can wilfully ignore, nor courts for that matter. Maybe we should just bin it. But good luck getting a replacement that doesn't involve the ECJ.

I've been meaning to watch it, and this gave me a nudge. Powerful, upsetting stuff. Which is all the more reason to watch it. I hold those guys in such high regard that I can't even articulate it. And yet, at the same time, the "other side" no doubt feel the same. They're friends, fathers, brothers, uncles, husbands, boyfriends, sons etc. I'm v uncomfortable with talk of "orcs" in the current situation. No matter how wrong the "other side" is, dehumanising the enemy doesn't help anybody.

As an aside, they said on the radio this morning that the flight was stopped due to intervention by the European commission for human rights. I thought that Brexit meant that we didn't have to take any notice of them any more. Court, not Commission. echr.coe.int/Pages/home.aspx?p=homeIt's a separate and distinct entity to the EU. The UK joined in 1966 and hasn't left. EDIT: And hopefully won't leave.

Or will anyone vote for AI to be a prime minister or president in any country in the future? Given our current crop I'd vote for a random number generator.

Bought oven gloves that say on the instructions 'keep away from heat', What! My oven gloves say "Prick with fork", which seems appropriate.
