And yet the government loses cases all the time.

It's stupid posturing for his base. Like the asylum and immigration resolutions he didn't really wanted approved in the Bundestag early this year. He knows that arresting Netanyahu is up to the justice system and Netanyahu knows that too so he's not going to test Merz's empty promise.

The UK has this weird idea that they are the biggest friendly-rival of everyone in western Europe when everyone seems to see them more like the old-grumpy but mostly harmless neighbour.

Of course European countries should ensure the safety of all Russian diplomatic personnel. By revoking their credentials and shipping them back to Moscow.

If your cat is not eating the food on the side of the bowl is probably because the bowl is too deep. Cats don't like when their whiskers touch the side of the bowl.

You know what, anyone still buying a Tesla deserves it.

Which is why I said focus on the baby steps that are actually doable now.

Yeah, it's getting harder and harder to be hyperbolic these days.

Do you realise that has things stand, even Canada's electricity grid prevents from joining the single market and therefore the EU? Either they would need to get the mother of all opt outs, convert all their appliances and grid to 240v, or all appliances would need to be dual voltage (hiking up the costs for everyone).

And then every single product regulation is currently aligned with the US. Even countries that were closer to EU regulations took a decade to align them, so Canada will probably take at least that.

In the short term it makes more sense to focus on sector by sector free trade and free movement agreements.
