You could have a crack at a leadership spot in the Church of England in a corrupt appointment Crazy Anglican for the same reason?

I do not believe that loitering is a specific offence in the UK at the present time - the relevant parts of the Vagrancy Act 1824, which prohibited loitering about, were repealed by the Criminal Attempts Act 1981. So what you're telling me is that this morning I loitered, and this crime has apparen...

Nah, not even the chaps at Horse Guards are deluded enough to think that Rishi is going to win. And even if he did there'd just be a couple of years consultation period, maybe a pilot scheme or two, before they conclude the idea isn't practicable and quietly drop it. It's a nice safe policy designed...

I wouldn't have thought so. I could be wrong, but I don't think seagulls are protected under Chinese law. I'm not anticipating the development of the anti-seagull weapon will violate any local laws. No, it's only when the proverbial trigger is pulled in Blighty that the crime is committed. You could...

Re: If you could commit one crime and it would forever thereafter cease to exist..
Interesting question. Yes, you'd almost certainly just achieve the crime of attempted murder. So would that mean in future people would be unable to attempt murder, or that anyone who attempts it has to succeed? Likewise it would be very challenging for you, personally, to kill every seagull curren...

Hate crime would be a solid option if you can stomach doing a hate crime one time in order to end all future hate crimes I guess it depends on how all future hate crimes are ended. You could end all future hate crime tomorrow by removing the concept from law. You can't commit a crime that doesn't e...

Re: If you could commit one crime and it would forever thereafter cease to exist..
I'd kill all seagulls. And then it would indeed be impossible for anyone else to kill a seagull.
Is that the kind of thing you're getting at?

All this is pretty much certain.

But you never know... He may get lu...

The Green Party is hurting the Lib Dem because it's being increasingly seen as the go to party of protest, especially for younger voters. The Lib Dems looked too much like the establishment in the coalition era, and their political stunts designed to attract attention are making them look rather sil...

There's always the possibility that Labour will destroy itself, but that is a difficult task in the time available even for them. A Labour civil war is coming, but I think they will hold off until after the election. Then Kier will have a hell of a time. Labour will have a big enough presence that r...

I'm trying to form an opinion about Sir Kier Starmer I wouldn't bother. He's fine. Born in a political family who were the sort of Labour members who are perfectly happy to send their son to grammar school. Became a human rights lawyer, ended up leading the Crown Prosecution Service which is the so...

Re: British PM Richie Rich Sunak decides to celebrate 4th July 1776 Anniversary of Loss of Webellious North American Col
In all honesty, I don't think anyone cares. We have two party leaders who were both chosen to lead their respective parties primarily because they were nothing like Boris. Starmer has all the appeal of a cheese and salad cream sandwich that has been left overnight in a lunchbox. Sunak is a slightly ...

Re: Was Buddha more "All Knowing" than Jesus
I don't know what Bible the other Christians have been reading, but it's pretty evident from what Jesus said that he spent rather a lot of time not being all knowing. Whether or not you consider him to be all knowing now, the Jesus praying in Gethsemane obviously didn't know everything, and I assume...

Absolutely. No man is an island, every bastard's death enriches us all, and all that.

But as for American g...
