    That's odd, you seem to want to lose any protection your government might offer you against foreign interference.

    Kick out Kim Dot Fuckwit for being someone you don't want in the country if you don't like him, but don't roll over and drop your trousers for the US first.

    Just because someone is a lying cheating cunt does not make it ok to skip justice.

    The law should protect everybody, even you.

    Pissing off the US for refusing to extradite someone? Ok, there was Panama but the US aren't going to invade a first world country over that.

    Frostiness, sure. But I'd rather have that than my government rolling over and shipping people over there to suffer the travesty they call justice.

    No, I really look like this.

    A police response that 'so often' kills innocent people is not justified, especially based on a single fucking phone call.

    And yet.. he owns a loss making golf course in Scotland.

    Do you? I'm not certain but I'm fairly sure that I don't.

    You're also missing the point that it makes a loss because it's doing things like buying helicopters from other parts of his business empire, almost certainly for tax purposes.

    It is quite possible that his wealth is less than he claims but that isn't evidence that he isn't far wealthier than most people even aspire to, let alone have any hope of achieving.

    Well, everybody can run a company; just start one up and off you go.

    What, you want the high salary that goes with being a CEO? Best build that company up fast then.

    Me, I work as hard as a blue-chip CEO but with a very different and somewhat less lucrative skillset. I don't work as hard as a small company owner and that's a very deliberate choice.

    Being a manager is laborious too. I mean, shit, you have to talk to people. Yuck.

  14. Maybe because IT is a broad encompassing field that includes engineering operating systems and running an IT department.

    So basically you're telling me 1.8 million people broke US law by signing a petition demanding not to give Trump a full scale State visit to the UK.

    What a strange law. Going to make an airline rich carrying them all over to the US for the trial.

  19. Well, aside from the obvious hypocrisy around being too drunk to consent but still being responsible for your actions, the passenger has clearly taken responsibility for his actions leaving just one person acting irresponsibly.

    Fatally so.

  20. I hope her dad is going to sue the bosses estate

    On what grounds?

    Since being drunk means you lack the judgement to agree to a pleasureable act even when you initiate it then I think it's reasonable to suggest that being drunk also means you lack the judgement to assess whether someone else is sober enough to drive or not.

    Her dad may as well sue her estate, as after all she's the fuckwit that got into a car and drove it while drunk. In fact, her boss' estate should sue her estate as it was her illegal act that got him killed. I'm sure the father would welcome that.

  21. Or maybe some people like being able to accelerate and it helps them drive safely.

    Joining a motorway at 40? Fucking insanely dangerous. Accelerating up to 70 and joining at the speed of the traffic? Far safer.

    Overtaking someone? Spend three minutes on the wrong side of the road or accelerate swiftly to pass them.

    Want to get home before you die of old age? Accelerate away from the junction.

    Stuck in stop-start traffic on a busy road? Stick on some music and enjoy the luxury. Shit, just because the car can accelerate doesn't mean you have to drive with your foot permanently flat to the floor.

    there's a limit to what's practical and safe

    Yes, there is. I personally recommend avoiding twin jet engines on a motorbike, but bluntly if it's road legal and you're willing to take the risk, go for it.

    I don't get this.

    So ok, apparently "It's illegal for a private citizen to engage in diplomacy for the US."

    But as you've pointed out, he's not part of the executive or authorised to speak on their behalf. So nothing he says or promises can be considered relevant to the running of the country, so surely he's immediately in the clear purely because he is a private citizen.

    If he has standing then he's not a private citizen. If he doesn't have standing then he's not engaging in diplomacy.

    I'm fucking confused.

    While I happily acknowledge that the Germans make a sizeable net contribution to the EU I think it's pretty reasonable to assume that all of their contributions to go the other countries that do not.

    Rather than one of the few others that also makes a sizeable net contribution and keeps getting told it'll stop getting anything back, as though paying a corrupt Eurocrat bureaucracy to route the same money was actually better than just using it where it's needed.
