I live somewhere where cannabis is not legal. There's pressure, sure, but there's resistance too.
One of the factors that helped it legalized in western countries like Canada and the US is the notion of health. Pain relief. Treatment for some chronic illnesses.
That's cool. But imagine a pharmaceutical company isolates those health things.
No need to legalized cannabis anymore.
This stuff supports the anti-lefalisation movement by taking the benefits from it.
What's wild is, imagine how much cooler if he was to have said, "sure we won't be playing, but we'll be there to support and see this absolutely amazing line up".
I mean, come on. The Breeders. Bikini Kill... Stevie fucking Nicks. No wonder it rinsed in 30 minutes.
See, I don't think you are British, and it makes me wonder why you display such a strong reaction.
You really think that the UK going through 9 PMs in ten years is a great situation?
The very fact you admit you know fuck all about Burnham or his policies suggests that, at best, you are under informed.
Here's my take. Burnham is just another Starmer and all this whole sorry episode has done is highlight how broken our system is, how our politics has become quick-fix personality led nonsense guided by a jaded media landscape and constant commentary by absolute fuckwits on an international scale.
I think people like the spectacle of resignations. They like the drama and something to talk about, but ultimately they don't care for fixing problems and having to make nuanced and possibly unpopular decisions.
For what it's worth, I'm not fan of Starmer. But if keeping him in helped up repel Farage and populism just a little bit longer, I was willing to make that concession.
I hope Burnham proves better but his chat during the campaign shows him to be of similar mind, just with a little extra personality. Maybe it will be enough.
Yeah, that article is about how the media deliberately misinterpreted the symbol as being nazi-like after the feminist movement picked it after the war and after the Nazis used their famous double lightning insignia.
This sort of contradicts your first comment ... If I'm being kind I think you were just being inarticulate.
I'm pretty sure this is The Limping Man, 1953.
He's 40 not 28.
