Incredible, how can this blindness be possible?

After a couple of hundred years, it looks like you got yourself a monarch again.

In the UK's NHS, Accidents and Emergencies (A&E) are dealt with immediately. Some other stuff is dealt with within days or weeks. There are targets for various types of operations - the maximum wait time for non-emergency operations is 18 weeks. (Though this target is permanently under severe pressure.) Of course - and many people feel this is quite wrong - you can buy insurance that gets you out of any waiting if you wish. The rest of the developed world looks on in amazementat why you guys think it ok to pay massively more for an inefficient and unfair system.Je suis Charlie. Je suis Ahmed. Je suis Juif.

If he was a UK citizen there'd be a real chance of being arrested for inciting racial hatred for those tweets. He's a total arse.
And now he's attacked our Prime Minister, it's like being back in the playground. He re-tweeted three far right videos promoting ratial hatred from a group called Britain First. They're overjoyed with the publicity he's given them. The man who murdered one of our MPs, Jo Cox, shouted 'Britain First' whilst he killed her. Your president is a disgrace to your country, I'm really sorry you have to put up with this international shaming.

NoNukes writes: My wife, Joey and I form a conspiracy to rob a bank. Not only do we plan the robbery, we actually collude to carry it out. I hold the Tommy gun and cover here while she yells at the bank teller to fill up the bag. Joey, our inside man at the bank pretends to trigger the silent alarm but does not do it. Wouldn't they just all be charged with armed robbery? Collusion seems to be mostly a civil matter or if the collusion results in a crime, that crime would be charged - fraud seems the most likely.Je suis Charlie. Je suis Ahmed. Je suis Juif.

It wasn't just poisoning, the Russians used a nerve agent - a weapon of mass destruction. This action amounts to an unlawful use of force against the UK. This threatens to become a UN incident, Article 2, paragraph 4. Almost an act of war.
Really disapointed with the US reaction to this. Virtual silence.Je suis Charlie. Je suis Ahmed. Je suis Juif. Je suis Parisien. I am Mancunian. I am Brum. I am London.I am Finland.

Looks like Trump will finally visit the UK - mid July looks likely. It's suggested that he'll meet the Queen - poor girl.
Still old Queenie has shaken hand with far worse people than him...Je suis Charlie. Je suis Ahmed. Je suis Juif. Je suis Parisien. I am Mancunian. I am Brum. I am London.I am Finland.

I can understand Trump doing this kind of uncaring, unthinking monstrous stuff - he's an uncomplicated arsehole.
What I don't get is why the instututions that had to do this work and deal with the consequeces didn't immediately refuse, rebel, resist, campaign - something. They seemed to just co-operate. It's not a popular or even reasonable comparison but it is reminiscent of the compliance Hitler got. Bit of a worry.Je suis Charlie. Je suis Ahmed. Je suis Juif. Je suis Parisien. I am Mancunian.
