They would get 6-10 years.

Which is supposedly the MANDATORY sentence for anyone caught carrying a knife.

Unless of course you have a good excuse, like trying to kill Asylum Seekers.

“Farage claimed last year to have “bought a house” in his constituency but the property is actually owned in the name of his partner, meaning he legally avoided higher-rate stamp duty on the purchase of an additional home – given he already owns other properties”

🧵 Farage is whipping up anger against the ECHR with false claims (see thread).

As The Bear brilliantly writes: “The ECHR [is] the foundation that protects you from your own government.”

That's why leaving the ECHR would be a Really Bad Idea.

Leaving the ECHR won’t “Take Back Control” – it will hand your rights to politicians
The myths are seductive, the reality is very different – without the ECHR your freedoms rest on whichever Home Secretary wakes up grumpy

Israel has shattered the ceasefire in Gaza, killing hundreds of people and threatening more to come.

This is happening because countries like the UK have allowed Israel to act with impunity.

This must end. It’s time for trade sanctions on Israel.

Why would you want cheap unlimited electricity from wind/solar.

When you can buy very expensive, dirty nuclear reactors and be extorted to buy and dispose of the fuel for it forever.

Hmm...

@duolingoverde.bsky.social Duo, you have a huge range of language translations available. Why don't you do a translation to British English instead of American English? Is it too hard?
