Maybe because there were more chimneys in Manchester than anywhere else? 😁

A man and his wife are out walking one day when they spot a lone fellow on the other side of the road. ‘That looks like the Archbishop of Canterbury over there,’ says the woman. ‘Go and see if it is’. The husband crosses the road and asks the man if he is indeed the Archbishop of Canterbury. ‘F--k off,’ says the man. The husband crosses back to his wife who asks, ‘What did he say? Is he the Archbishop of Canterbury?’ ‘He told me to f--k off,’ says the husband. ‘Oh, no,’ replied his wife, ‘Now we’ll never know’. (Doesn't work so well now that the A of C is female!)

^^^ lovely bit of well-written satire there. (Just in case my greenie is misinterpreted!)

I say that's bovine faeces. If push came to shove (or drop) you would be no different from anyone else. Thank you for reiterating your opposition to judicial executions. The case of the bastard who shot your cousin was clearly one where the line between criminality and mental illness had been crossed. I can see no reason why such a deranged creature should not be incarcersted indefinitely to protect society.

Democracy isn't doing much for overexcitable WASP Americans, not to mention the rest of the world. We can hardly expect Iranians to negotiate in good faith when the USA brushes them aside. Let's not forget that several Arab nations side with the West. They may have nasty regimes but they know on which side their bread is buttered. Provoked by the Israelis and escalated by Trumpanzees. Netanyahu didn't like the way the nuclear arms negotiations with Iran were heading, so he sabotaged them, with the help of the US fascists.

Fun fact: No innocent person who was wrongfully executed has ever come back to life.

There's a fine line between criminality and mental illness.

You're still quids in, then.

Not at the cost of dragging the UK into an illegal war.

Well, the death sentence is such a great deterrent, isn't it?

There's an important difference between the MM/DD/YY and MMMM/DD/YYYY date formats. The former is entirely numeric, and thus ambiguous. The latter is alphanumeric and unambiguous because the month is written in full. No, I don't know what happened on 9 November 2001 either.

AKA a government that wants to prevent exploitation of the young and poor by petty capitalists like you.

Apparently the people of Clacton refer to their MP as "Nigel Mirage".

Don't you mean "Hummus"?
