Scotland certainly has a good case for a new vote, as it is clear they remained in the UK only to avoid being thrown out of the EU.
Not really. They new the EU referendum was coming when they had theirs, so if they had wanted to guarantee EU membership over UK then that's how they would have voted.
What the ScotsNats will do is harp on about it and not let it rest for about 5 years, maybe 10 and use it as an issue to try to boost their support before they actually try to force the issue.
If they try to force through another independence referendum so soon after the last one they run the risk of allowing themselves to be painted with a "sore loser" brush and alienating the undecided or mildly "out" camp.
besides which, most (and i mean 90%+) of the Protestant people that voted remain would vote to stay part of the UK.
NI/UK ties are much stronger than NI/EU ones.
Honestly I'm expecting border controls to be on the NI/GB travel routes, not the NI/ROI ones. It's much easier to police those air/sea routes that the land border which they could never seal properly at the height of the troubles anyway.
I'd like to know what they did to the software so it would run on windows 7 but not 10.
only thing i can think of off hand is some driver that's badly signed and wont work on 10 but would on 7.
I don't think you understand what socialized medicine actually is. You pay taxes, they fund the health system. Doctors get paid a set wage, not per treatment. And insurance companies play no part...
It's pretty much how it works here in Northern Ireland. I cant remember the last time a waiter/waitress tried to take my card away from the table. With chip and pin I have to be present to enter the pin anyway so there's no reason for me to separated from the card.
As a non-usian (British, Northern Irish) I don't hate the US. I think they usually try to do the right thing at first but then their internal politics gets in the way and fucks things up. They also allow their corporations to much leeway, but that's not something limited to the US.
I'd rather have someone like the US at least trying to do the right thing than someone like Putin who is just using his power to prop up his only ally in the middle east while pretending to fight the real enemy.
Note, I still feel that there is a lot of "better the devil you know" when it comes to foreign policy, both in the US and the rest of the world. As evidenced by the Arab Spring, this can be valid in some cases.
actually, there are parts of the old French empire that are still technically part of france (and some dutch ones too iirc) so they'd be more westerly than that.
but so long as we all agree that the UK is not part of Europe then it's fine.
Imagine that the police suspect I am the culprit in a string of bank robberies. If that is true, then my phone/computer/tablet may have information that would lead to my arrest and conviction. Of course, my phone/computer/tablet may not have that information and I may still be guilty. Or it may not have that information and I may be still be innocent. Is giving up your privacy worth catching a possible bank robber?
It would depend on why the police suspect you are the culprit. If they can convince and independent authority (e.g. a judge) that they have a reasonable suspicion backed up with the evidence behind it then there is a compelling argument to be made for them to access devices that could substantiate the claim that you are behind the robberies.
Of course the action the police want to take should be granted only if the evidence leading to the suspicion is compelling enough. For example the mere fact you were seen near the location of some of the robberies should not be sufficient to grant a warrant for a midnight raid of your property and the seizure of all your worldly possessions, but it may (or may not) be enough for them to obtain your phone records (mainly the location data) to see if you were present at the other robberies too.
I think in this case arguing that the FBI should not be allowed to unlock the phone of someone who was responsible for a crime and died in the act is grossly unwise. But that's just me.
besides which, you're not buying from the manufacturer or imported, you're buying from the retailer. It's the retailers job to make sure what they're selling is good enough and meets the rules on quality and reliability. At least in civilized countries it is. Caveat emptor is bad.
christ, not this bollocks about the troubles being a religious conflict again. It wasn't and isn't. It might have been in the 17th century but the modern crap was all about tribes. Us v Themmins. No one was fighting over the concept of the pope being gods representative on earth or the doctrine of transubstantiation. It was all about conflicting nationalism, Brits against Irish. I should know, I've lived here for all of my 38 years.
fairly sure it would be legal in the UK. you can have cameras that record public property and your own private property. you run into trouble if you record other peoples private property (a neighbours yard for example).

no, he has an army of apple fanbois willing to lick it clean for him

cigars are way cooler tho. with a nice big glass of whiskey..
a couple of times a year is regular, even it's random.
wouldnt that be the fouth reich? tho that's EUs current situation so it'd need to be the fifth.

If they'd roll YouTube Red out to the UK I'd sign up at once, but it's not available yet and no ETA i can see...

Aluminium actually. should have about 3 times the energy density as lithium based batteries.
depends on which side of the argument you're on. From my point of view it blows.

Titanic wasnt the only boat that sank. He could do the Lusitania and the Britannic just for starters.
Such as the latest "opinion" piece by frankie bolye where he pretty much called the senior tory leadership serial killers.
Now - What is a vote but a sample of the populace showing the way they feel on an issue in an even more rigorous and measured fashion than a petition.
I would argue it isn't a sample of the population, it is the population, including those that don't care one way or the other and choose to abstain.
surely that should have been "pretty good pr0n vid.avi.exe"

It's something about a well regulated militia isnt it?

Yahtzee (Zero Punctuation) already did it best.
So there.
