USNS Comfort: Sorry, your leader is... JAY!
ONE MIGHTY SHIP now dealing with 20 patients in New York in the fake news today.
Lucky the orange and yellow commander in chief was in full control to send it on it's way:
1:34 ...JAY... as in Homer JAY Simpson! I did not know THAT!
2:00 or something: First AGGRESSIVELY hide. THEN see what happens. THEN AGRRESSIVELY RESPOND BY running away... (I think Highwayman, from the new show Highwayman, would achieve more.)
21:21 Teletubby good bye!
22:04 Monty Python Theme!
U N B I L L E V I L B E!
Their reality beats any fake news!
The live comments are excellent, too.
The only thing missing is the "it's" man crawling toward the camera...
I say to you: Bring on the scepter of truth and justice (see NEWS further down)

Spatula City
Mrs Varmint (who is American) and I got into a bit of a debate about what you call a Fish Slice (correct UK word) aka a Spatula (silly American word for a Fish Slice). It's now got out all out of hand on Facebook with ex-pats from both sides arguing quite passionately about which is right (It's Fish Slice BTW).

Spatula derives from the Latin "spatha", meaning broad sword, and has been in use since at least the early 16th c. "Fish Slice" got made up about 15 years ago to sell Brits shit they couldn't figure out how to use since it's not used to slice, and it's not used for fish (It's for burgers and grilled cheese sandwiches, idiots!).

Good video
it really shows how idiotic the people who voted for Brexit are. That they will pursue an ideology that is harmful to themselves and the country for reasons that are demonstrably untrue, the 'unelected' bit especially. I for one certainly remember voting for my MEP in the elections that elected them.
Nigel Farage is someone elected as an MEP and was at the forefront of a campaign largely based on the claim that he and his colleagues are unelected. As a country, we had a veto on all decisions and it was still claimed we had rules 'forced on us'. Some of those rules and concepts, like The European Convention On Human Rights, were our idea. That particular one was Churchill originally.
It's lies all the way down.

"the 'unelected' bit especially"
Did you get to vote on the European Commission, or it's President? You know, the executive body? No you didn't.
The only bit you've ever got to vote on is the European Parliament, the weakest part of the Legislature. It has the power of censure, did you know that? That power allows it to issue stern rebukes which may be safely ignored. It allows it to make recommendations that are not binding. It's not even allowed to initiate a legislative process.
Look. I voted to remain, and I still think it's the correct choice, but for fucks sake learn about just HOW undemocratic the EU is before you pretend that it is, or you'll be perpetuating your own set of lies.
(, Fri 3 Apr 2020, 9:19, Reply)
There are many many posts
in the UK government that we do not directly vote on.
Home secretary, lord chancellor, the list goes on.
But we directly elect the people who do decide the people in those posts.
If that is a problem when the EU does it, it should be a problem in our own parliament.
Because in the EU, it is not just one party who decides who gets in those posts but it is here. No oversight, they can just put in who they want.
And most of our country is run by civil servants who never have to risk their job in a ballot box. And don't get me started on the house of lords.
This country we both sit in is just as undemocratic or worse. Our government, until the recent crisis, has been implementing a consistent policy of racism and reduction in anything that could help people and with no possibility of veto. At least the EU put in laws that mostly helped, and the UK used to have a veto.
And anyway, The Commission can only propose laws in those areas where the EU governments have unanimously agreed to allow it to do under the EU treaty. Put another way, the Commission can only propose EU laws in areas where the UK government and the House of Commons had allowed it to do so.
Also, ‘proposing’ is not the same as ‘deciding’. A Commission proposal only becomes law if it is approved by both a qualified-majority in the EU Council (unanimity in many sensitive areas) and a simple majority in the European Parliament. The directly elected members can stop enything they like by refusing it a simple majority.
Unlike the British government, which commands a majority in the House of Commons, the Commission does not command an in-built majority in the EU Council or the European Parliament, and so has to build a coalition issue-by-issue. This puts the Commission in a much weaker, and as a result more democratic, position in the EU system than the British government in the UK system.
Second, the Commission President and the Commissioners are indirectly elected. Under Article 17 of the EU treaty, as amended by the Lisbon Treaty, the Commission President is formally proposed by the European Council (the 28 heads of government of the EU member states), by a qualified-majority vote, and is then ‘elected’ by a majority vote in the European Parliament.
And you directly vote for people who become members of the European parliament.
This is how representative democracy works, your representatives autonomously act without a vote on every decision until you vote in another one. It's how your MP and Parliament works, and nobody is complaining about that.

Nonsense.
But we directly elect the people who do decide the people in those posts.
We vote with the knowledge of who is already either nominated to hold, or already holding those offices, and it is taken into account. We get to vote on that team. We have no idea and no say even indirectly about the commission, we have no interaction with that team. In my view representative democracy becomes much less representative once it has been allowed to chain completely indirectly.
And most of our country is run by civil servants who never have to risk their job in a ballot box.
Does the EU not also have this problem to an even greater degree?
[stuff about domestic policy and racism]
Not relevant.
This puts the Commission in a much weaker, and as a result more democratic, position
Being the only body that can initiate legislative procedure means it essentially dictates the entire agenda. This puts it in a position of comparative strength.
Look... I wasn't in favour of Brexit. I think it will prove to be a mistake in the long run. But you're blind if you can't see that there are genuine issues with the way parts of it are setup. There is zero engagement between the people of Europe and the Commission, and regardless of any technical arguments for or against it's democraticness, people feel entirely disconnected from it.
To pretend there weren't genuinely decent concerns about the nature of the EU in amongst all the bullshit simply isn't reasonable.
