If American were an ethnicity, only the ones on the reservations would count.

Maybe make one of them require responding to a whole book (like GCSEs in English Literature)?

The White House has been hammering this message as they flail on affordability; nothing at all is our fault, while literally everything is the fault of undocumented immigrants, a group whose numbers we keep claiming are higher and higher every time we need a bigger scapegoat.

How was ICE given that much in the first place?

Flying flags: a plain English guide

Why does the UK government consider the Flag of Europe effectively illegal to fly (they say it needs planning permission which won't be given) when it is technically a valid flag of the Council of Europe? www.gov.uk/government/p...

It went massively up in the Tories after leaving the EU, so maybe the figure is a return to normal.

I think this is sometimes done on London Bridge.

I'd think they'd be better off staying in the UK!

Consecutive posts on my X feed - is it really the UK right wing who are lost, not the BBC?

I'm going to fight for £15 after a shoddy car valet [LBC Legal Hour] YouTube video by Daniel Barnett, Barrister

Were the producers deliberately introducing this to have a laugh? www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5lA...

Is this Doug Ritter knife actually legal for everyday carry? After all it has a locking blade and could be used as a weapon. www.dougritter.com/dr_rsk_mk1-g...

Unusual luxury of a double decker bus this morning even if it was over 10 minutes late and there are about two people on it. Of course I went upstairs.

Airlines Will No Longer Be Required to Compensate Passengers for Flight Delays Under New Administration Plan Without regulatory oversight, airlines will get to decide for themselves what to offer travelers when flights are significantly delayed.

This is awful. While UK-style Delay Repay 15 may be unrealistic, airlines should do better than a shrug.

Alas the polls say they are. I obviously disagree.

Quite? After all most UK council elections are referenda on Whitehall and not on local performance.

OK so why are Reform are so popular when they seem to be a UK version of the GOP?

Why is the Amtrak NEC network generally awful? And why in particular is the last train from Boston to DC at 1845, and gets in well into the morning morning, when the last day train from Euston to Glasgow Central leaves Euston at 1930 and arrives at 0008 despite the distance not being much longer?

The rules are still the rules. UK rules are insufficient but a minimum standard for a modern democratic country. If the US is below this bare minimum standard it is a concern.

Nonetheless, rules are rules. Trump seems to want to be subject to British law given his love of golf courses in Scotland and his anger about wind turbines.

It would seem to contravene the UK Ofcom Broadcasting Code requiring due impartiality. Does the FCC not have a similar rule?

I hate Trump as much as you but rules are rules.

They really were at least reprimanded by Ofcom in 2017. I think they chose to leave the UK market.

Can't the FCC issue a fine the way Ofcom can?

They don't have jurisdiction over cable?

Well. if Trump feels the regulations were contravened he can report it to the FCC. I will take no further action other than statements like this in closing conversations on the matter, and reverting to talking about happy things or trains.

Trump's argument, to the extent he has one, is that NBC failed to show "due impartiality" in the way that say the BBC has to.

We on here are not of course bound by the Ofcom Broadcasting Code, and indeed I am 100% anti-Trump myself. But the law is the law.

Fine on here! But Trump's complaint was about TV. Not Ofcom-regulated TV (BTW I am in the UK) but still TV.

And it is Fox News which "voluntarily" withdrew from the UK because OFCOM kept reprimanding them and they had a tiny audience.

He should have what he wanted before he realised his name was in them.

Why did Virgin provide only five standard class cars on each nine-car Pendolino set? This was a massive mistake, the ones lengthened to eleven have two extra standard class cars, and one of the first class cars is now redesignated as "standard premium" (you get the seat, not the soft product).

Sky being a broadcaster in the UK, Ireland, Italy and I think Germany.
