That might be slightly jumping the gun (or into the path of it as the case may be) given the fascists still control the House, the Senate and the Executive.

That was the incident that made me abandon all aims to remain in Britain permanently and attain citizenship.

That ship has sailed the moment Shemima Begum’s citizenship was revoked. Citizenship is a covenant between an individual and a state that cannot be revoked one-sidedly. The way this was done basically made clear to everyone that British Citizenship is worthless and the UK not to be trusted.

My main issue with these is the announced elimination of TOTP as a 2FA method, because that leaves ZERO methods that are not entirely controlled by big tech corporations, and therefore not a single method that is actually trustable.

Plus eliminating TOTP leave no non-corporate means of 2FA. No, Apple, Goole, Microsoft, Yubikey, etc. are NOT trustable.

This makes total sense, although it won’t even come close to solving anything.
The painful part here is the future disabling of TOTP, because that leaves not a single trustable 2FA method. (No, closed products my Apple, Google, Microsoft, et al are NOT trustable).

The purpose is for Qatari airforce people to more easily train with and get expertise from the US-Airforce. If they’re there on their own base, they can scale up their training.
Now whether that’s a good thing is …….. questionable.

I can absolutely see how one could find it thought provoking - provided one has not thought before.
Part of your problem seems to be that you “hear the Holocaust invoked” where it’s the fascist attitudes that actually are.

It’s like primary school pupil that knows all the letters, maybe can decipher a short word here or there - yet misses the meaning of even simple sentences - pontificating that everyone is using punctuation wrong.

Beyond pedantry on the precise occurrences in the 1930s and that - because they are not 100% identical to today - comparisons should not be made, there’s not really even a meaningful statement in the piece – much less an “alternative viewpoint”.

I read it, and have to say it’s not worth it.
It’s the perfect melange of trite in the first half and precise in the latter - while entirely missing the point.

I’d like to not let the statement “Israel is in war” stand. Israel is NOT in a war. At best one could claim it’s in a cruel infliction revenge and at worst it’s deliberately engaging in genocide. War this is not.

That ship has long since sailed.
Example: raising the age you can access your private pension account after having already paid in.
The UK has always changed the rules retroactively. This is nothing new.
