Can someone clarify if by muslim they mean, person of islamic faith/person from the wider middle east area/person from iraq/afghanistan etc/brown person. It seems interchangeable and no one agrees on a definition.
May is merely implementing the result of the referendum.
No, May is interpreting and implementing hers, and the tories vision for bexit. No other information was gathered about why people voted in or out. It was a binary choice, which was stated many time before to be advisory and non binding. Then it got a 52/48 split which is little better than a meh, yet she's ploughing ahead full steam for what's looking like a hard exit if we're lucky but the nuclear option is the one they're really gunning for. Is that why you voted for brexit? What exactly did you want from it?
Except having to conform to their numerous orders. Just one example, banning creosote for tarring fences; maybe irrelevant to you (or to EU residents in sunny Spain and Italy, or basement dwellers) ) but a big deal for me as I maintain several hundred yards of fencing in the damp misty hills of Wales. They are taking big chunks of time out of my life.
So you're prepared to fuck everyone over for your inconvenience and for the sake of several hundred yards of fence? Maybe you should give Trump a shout, I hear he's looking for people that know about fences. Is there any reason they banned this stuff or where they like ' yeah this nukenerd guy, fuck him and his fences'?
For example in the UK, in the run up to the referendum, we saw that a lot of communities that were 1% or less immigrant were blaming immigrants for the lack of jobs: even if they deported all of the immigrants, it would make no meaningful difference to unemployment rates.
Yeah, people often stumble after moaning they tuk ur jaaabs, when you say what jobs?
You got passed a bill? What the fuck is that supposed to mean? You got past a bill or you got a bill passed. But I guess you could care less about sounding like an idiot, right?
Is that why wards, services and even hospitals are being cut to ribbons all over?
These are the 19 hospitals, including five major acute hospitals, that are marked for closure as the NHS faces its biggest shake up in a generation to plug a £22bn black hole in funding, according to an investigation by i.
Acute hospitals closing or at risk of closure: :: South West London – one of five sites proposed to close – St Helier, St George’s, Epsom, Croydon, Kingston :: North West London – future of Ealing Hospital in doubt :: Leicestershire – one of three acute hospital sites proposed to close :: Black Country – merger of two general hospitals to a single site
:: Dorset – merger of Royal Bournemouth and Poole Hospital Community hospitals facing closure or redesignation: :: Alston, Cumbria ** :: Maryport, Cumbria ** :: Wigton, Cumbria ** :: Hinkley and District Hospital, Leicestershire :: Rutland Memorial Hospital, Leicestershire :: Bolsover Local Hospital, Derbyshire :: Newholme Hospital, Derbyshire :: St Leonards, Dorset :: Alderney, Dorset:: Westhaven, Dorset :: Ashburton, Devon * :: Bovey Tracey, Devon * :: Dartmouth, Devon * :: Paignton, Devon * (* To be replaced by health and well-being centres) (** Closure of all beds under consideration)

And that's just the tip of it. The fact is the tories want it privatised, like they want everything privatised. They are dealing death by 1000 cuts (quite literally this time) by degrading services slowly and often enough that pretty soon health insurance will look like a good idea, then more and more people will get it to cover the short fall of the nhs, pretty soon gov can mandate everyone needs it to access nhs then the nhs is gone or exists in name only.
You only need to look at brexit, one of the big claims was the £350m a week for the nhs. Ok that was never a real pledge and no one actually expected them to get anything like that, but what happened? Oh, no new money at all for the nhs and here, have some more cuts. You can't believe a word the tories say, especially about funding public services.
If you want to vote tory fine, but at least have the fucking balls to admit that you're for cuts to hospitals, schools, services and everything else they can get their hands on. Don't insult the rest of us by pretending they do good things.
In general I agree, but for a company, an American company no less, there is no greater motivator than money. I'm sure there a bunch of people that would set up a high quality power, cheap power grid the world over if they had the facilities. The problem is you need money to make anything of substance happen, if only because the people you need to help you them can't pay their bills with warm fuzzies. So regardless if the money is the true motivator of activities it is the only enabler of most of them. Especially a big infrastructure project.
Competition could realistically happen if the main infrastructure was publically owned and any company can set up and get access to them for the same price as any other company with that access fee going back into maintaining and improving the system. That way there are enough companies to have realistic price competition and keeps the profiteering to a minimum.

I caught that I'd left 'without' in place after i hit submit, but since there's no edit, that's that. I didn't think it was a big enough gaffe to merit writing a followup post... until you made an issue of it.
Your write. You shoulder nown, There all over that stuff hear. You have to be very pacific with you're typing.
The ISS is not controlled by NASA, and NASA is only a small part of an international community...
But yeah American exceptionalism at it's finest again, always believe you control the things others actually do and never admit you're a giant failure... (THE AMERICAN WAY)
Maybe they think its the Incredible Space Station?
Easy enough: Gimme all your money, land, water, women, children & other ressources & then go die in the corner. Because I'm sure (as are so many others) that we deserve it more/would employ it better.
What? you don't want to? I'll just take it all anyway because you have no way to stop me -- unless you too start paying for that military you'd like to see diminished
They've been gutting the shit out the the UK armed forces for years and years and years now, it's now a shadow of its former self and we still haven't been invaded or anything, in fact we're still doing the invading. Not that I'm saying any particular army is too big or too small or whatever but there's no big boogie man waiting to jump on you and take all your stuff if you let your guard down even for a second and stop stockpiling and spending more and more and more on defence. Defence from who, Russia? Whatever.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for space exploration and travel and all that but why do we currently have such a boner for Mars? Yeah I get the whole was there/wasn't there life question, but other than that what can we actually learn from Mars and is that question worth it? Why is it worth sending people there rather than say, building a moon base or extending our orbital presence?
I realize this is just an anecdote, and other localities may have the opposite situation, but I live in a small New England town, served by a private power company. I currently pay ~$.23/kWh for residential electrical service (when my PV array isn't pushing into the grid). There is a neighboring town that maintains a municipal (town-owned and operated) electrical system, and they pay ~$.06/kWh, and their system is better in almost every way, including buried lines instead of overhead lines on poles in their town center, and better overall reliability. I don't know all the details or the history of their municipal system, but that certainly seems better to me.
When there's no real incentive to improve something it won't get improved. Say your neighbour town starts offering the same deal to your town. The private company would obviously have to up their game or go out of business. You can bet what would happen though is, instead of that, they would fight tooth and nail, and spend a lot of cash, to stop the competing service coming in. You don't say but I bet there aren't any real competitors to this private company.
So do you think, roads, power, sewage, water etc should all be in private hands with access to them charged at whatever rate the owner sets? Do you think they should be able to have any competition or be able shut it down with lawyers and lobbyist and buckets of cash (that they got from gauging you) instead of with, you know, competitiion? Is it that you don't see internet connectivity as essential as water, power and transport is? Or is it it more that you got yours and fuck everyone else?
I fully agree, comrade. The answer is always to take public ownership of all private property.
What the fuck is wrong with you people? Do you really prioritise a company's ability to make as much profit as possible over your ability to get a fair and decent service? All the while you bang on about the free market fixing things while simultaneously doing everything to make the market as closed as possible. Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you?
Austria's leader is a giant douche. He rapes babies. Once I saw him watching hardcore bestiality porn in his car, stealing WiFi from a nearby cafe. I hate him. This is hate speech.
You won't be so quick to flip Austria off when their stormtroopers are marching through your streets enforcing the laws with quick and brutal efficiency.

Except the USA. In the US you're a racist xenophobe monster worse than Hitler if you oppose an open border.
Yet they elected a guy who's main thing was a new, bigger, better, stronger, yuger, border wall?

Can you take the tory challenge?

Which is why here they prefer to stick a gun in your face and get you to withdraw as much cash as you can from the ATM. Rinse/repeat.
So basically you're saying there should be a limit on ATM withdrawal amounts?
Yeah. If you need loads of cash go into the branch.
In general I agree, but for a company, an American company no less, there is no greater motivator than money. I'm sure there a bunch of people that would set up a high quality power, cheap power grid the world over if they had the facilities.

The rewards for this shall be great and bountiful.
Unless the rewards are at least substantial you can forget it.
It should have been 'with' not 'without'.

so dumbfuck - who pays?
You ever hear of a thing called tax? Do you get your regulated services for free? Dumb fuck.
That's EXACTLY what he said and meant.

Down with this sort of thing
You won't be so quick to flip Austria off when their stormtroopers are marching through your streets enforcing the laws with quick and brutal efficiency.
C'mon, we all know storm troopers can't hit shit.
I think this would be a demonstration that they are not aware of the limitations of their jurisdiction.
Remember the last time an Austrian tried to dictate policy globally?
Oh My Godwin!
I did nazi that coming, did jew?
Right lads, we can compromise our world wide business or we can pull out of Austria. Hmmmmmm decisions.
This kind of generalization is absolutely normal in patent descriptions
That's the problem. patents shouldn't be generalisations, they should be pretty fucking specific.
Balls, bollocks and bullshit.
When I get interrupted by work, I get back to goofing off as fast as I can.
Yeah it's easy, see one coming and minimise your window, moan about being really busy and then when they leave restore your window, straight back in.
