@randymarsh This story is at least a decade old - he first tried it through the Kenyan courts in 2007, then appealed to the International Court of Justice in 2013.IIRC, the ICJ declined to consider it, so it went nowhere.But suing a State for something that happened on it's territory almost 200 years previously is a stretch, as was suing Italy, who would have been co-defendants.And surely this would have been an act of God...

@ColinTHFC I'll never understand this demand that many on the Left have for idealogical purity - it's not something that the Right ever seems to have a problem with.All they need to do is hold their nose, and vote for whichever party will keep the Tories out, be it Labour, SNP, Plaid, LibDem, Green, or whoever - we can argue semantics later, but first, we need to get the criminal cabal currently posing as a Government out of office.

@StingrayBadger @ColinTHFCAgreed - FPTP needs binning ASAP.I keep thinking that the best outcome would be Labour being the single biggerst Party, but unable to form a majority Government, and having to enter into a coalition with SNP, LD, Plaid, etc, with those other parties demanding PR in return.

@futurebird There has been something of a resurgence in interest in jobs of this sort inbthe UK in recent years, at least partly driven by a tv show called The Repair Shop, in which craftsmen (and women) restore and repair old, usually vintage, items, many of which were originally handmade.With slightly more modern tech, there is a YouTuber who goes by the name TechMoan who scours the Web for interesting audio/video kit, which is often sold as "Not Working", or for spares, and tries to fix it.He's not an expert, just someone who knows enough to get into trouble, which makes it all the more interesting.And he lives about 20 miles away from me, which is kinda cool.There are people out there who do this sort of thing, they just tend to charge more for repairs than it costs to buy a new item, which unfortunately disincentivises repair.

@futurebird my brother-in-law and his family moved to the US a few years back, and there were 2 things the kids had problems getting used to at school - pledging allegiance to a scrap of cloth every morning, and active shooter drills.Neither of which are a thing in the UK.

@futurebird And that's probably the reason none of this will change.
