Or just refusing to run servers in California. Much like the US DRM encryption restrictions of the 90s. Where the whole Linux community just had distributions required parts of the download to happen in non US servers.

A single, (although big and very active in Linux) state, will always have more limitations then a nation. The issue comes if it becomes US national. And then the US starts pushing other nations to sign agreements.

Given at some point trumps harm to all international treaties will likely be repaired. Their may come a huge opportunity for US politicians to renegotiate international treaties.

Assuming trust is ever returned.

He depends on his Maga supporters believing universal healthcare is a failure.

Actually needing US aid has less importance then convincing his voters of the need.

Let's face it. Nearly all left wing hosts and talk shows. Have made a point that Greenland will not give up universal healthcare to join the US.

So it's important he has some indication that the US needed to provide services to Greenland to continue to counter that political argument.

Just like bombing Venezuela and kidnapping it's leader. It's nothing to do with drugs. But is instead about making the lies about drugs more believable to the idiots that vote for him.

Because school head teachers think it makes the students look well managed.

Think for a moment about UK history. Very little to non of it was implemented to ensure poor people were treated equally. And the introduction of uniforms was no more so.

Back in the day it was about wealthy schools looking like they were preparing students for work life. iE uniforms tried to match the idea that successful students would have to wear suits.

And as such uniforms were mainly used in city schools as more rural schools tought for farming or mining communities. Not office jobs,

In the 70s as less farming or mining jobs were expected.more schools tried to introduce dress codes to force dress standards for children expected to have to do so once working.

That the point isn't it.

I'm fairly suree you just declared him histories best at puns.

[–] HumanPenguin@feddit.uk 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That assumes those with money. Will not go separately to buy clothing. While those without telly on the school.

Sorry but that is not the way it will work. Just because schools are required to provide the uniforms. Dose not mean their will not be a market for uniforms outside the schools supply.

A case being “The Crown vs. HRH King Charles III” is perfectly feasible. The monarch being subject to law is a concept that goes back over 800 years.

Except the concept has not. At no point in that history. Has any UK king or queen ever been tried by anything other then parliament itself.

And the one time parliament did it. It was done in parliament exactly because the constituency of the crown being different from the current monarch is not well defined. It's only separation definition is in the right for ownership and duty to be passed.

Other then the king. The only people fully free of the justice system. Are MPs when acting in parliament itself.

They are not free of the whole justice system. They have limited parliamentary privileges mainly related to what they can say without consequences, but they couldn’t murder their opponents.

Actually no that is not how the sovereignty of parliament in defined.

Yes actions are only free of judicial jurisdiction when acting in parlimentry session. But those actions are in no way related to speech alone.

While no an MP could not murder someone during parliamentary session.

The normal justice system would not be responsible for protecting that person. Parliament will. This is exactly why the tower of London was originally considered the be the kings and then parliaments prison. And not the judiciary.

This is why parliament has a chief Marshall to enforce it's authority. And why the tower of London has it's own guards independent of the UK police and military.

While this all seems to be just of historic interest. And honestly the orders (people involved) are no longer armed or trained in a way that would be official to actually enforce the law. Not to mention the tower is no longer in a position to provide a reasonable or effective prison.

The legal structure has very much not been replaced in any way.

And if (cos I am biased after all.)

N Farrrage was to suddenly jump up and strangle J corbyn during PMs questions.

It would be an odd situation. Likely in 2026 it would involve parliament and the Chief marshall asking the met to actually help out. And quickly passing laws to support it. It would not be automatic.

You may want to look at school funding and the attitude of the last 1t years of government to such.

Before considering that the future of school provided uniforms will be any newer or in any better condition.

Makes you wonder.

A) We're the economists that predicted a £11.5bn in December. Incompetent.

B) are the economists predicting £30.rbn surplus now incompetent

Or

C) is the lose of Peter Mandelsons corrupt influence. Changing the lies the government want to convince voters of.

Will be pretty pissed. If they do not do some serious looking into his motives while collecting evidence.

Those motive likely being convincing sex traffickers to provide for him.

While Cromwell's far from a great example of democracy.

He is the example of parliament creating a law that made killing a king illegal. And the very creation of our current constitutional monarchy. His actions basically created most of the constitution changes the nation now works on.

Hence why the example was made.

You are correct in the fact that telling secrets in parliament is technically legal. It is worth noting that parliament has the power to enforce rules upon itself. Technically to the point made by Cromwell.

IE in the event and MP was to announce secrets in parliament. Without gov approval and more so now it is televised. (This was not the case in my youth. When recording parliament was illegal for that very reason.)

Parliament would technically be able to have the MP imprisoned. Although as of now parliament has no where to store them. It was the tower of London in the past.

But yep it would have to be parliament that enforced such rules. And doing so would require a majority. Hence why bojo tried to close parliament and got prevented.

The kings authority to refuse is not recognised.

If a king or past queen were to be accused. It is technically impossible. As our whole criminal justice system is based on the king Vs the defendent/accused.

But that dose not apply to other royal family members. Other then the purely technical idea that the kings name used against a relative is sorta rude without authority.

But parliament has the full Auth to ignore his opinion. And as we saw under Cromwell. If the king was accused of a crime high enough. Parliament itself can try him. But it's far from uncomplicated,

Other then the king. The only people fully free of the justice system. Are MPs when acting in parliament itself. This is done purely to prevent a majority party making opposition illegal. And even then it only applies to in parliament actions.

IE up till a few days ago. MPs could support PA in the house of commons. But doing so in public would have still be a crime. As dumb as that sounds.

That said. Legal and technical Vs the actual actions of people in a position with the prejudices involved. Are hardly equal.

Yep it's about giving secret gov data to Epstein. So while the peado accusations will likely be investigated as a result. Based on motive gathering.

ATM no new evidence of actual SA with minors has been shown in the files.

Just pics of him kneeling over a fully clothed shortish female of indeterminate age.

Her post indicates that her and JC are in touch and working together to continue the roadmap as published.

IE the conference etc is still planned for November.

Our Party open letter to Founders and supporters.

Asking for signatures to convince both J Corbyn and Z Sultana to step back and allow a member lead team to take over.

The MPs got us this far. It's time for the people to take the reins.

Z Sultana announced she supported the movement this morning.

https://feddit.uk/pictrs/image/e43777dd-8c26-4162-a6d7-2395415ef40f.webp

 

This is no more then an opinion. But I would be interested in others view of it.

If we believe ZS and her supporters internal to the process.

What is happening to YP is very similar to tumers from when JC was leading labour. We saw evidence of internal attacks from the right in 2019. But tumers of his supporters infighting and trying to take control were common before then.

I think I and many members from that time put them down to the right string trouble. But I'm now starting to wonder.

Corbyn made a effort to move labour more democratic and membership led right from the start. Continuing from eds reduction in union power.

Given ZS claims and other insiders reports to the guardian etc.

Is it likely that the right had help from left PLP under labour. And those same MPs and union leaders are using their history with Corbyn to embed control early into the YP set up.

Added to multiple comments we have seen throughout YP communities on social media. Indicating distrust in the whole idea of a membership lead control.

Is the idea something the left is willing to fight for.

This is very much interpreted from multiple emails and news articles.

So is opinion. But as I shared the membership portal. And it has been accused of being fake, I should share my opinion.

Supporters have received an email from YourParty.Uk saying the membership site was not official.

But another email from Zahah Sultana suggest she sent the email and set up the site I shared. News articles agree that she is indeed suggesting other MPs are trying to freeze her out of the process. I have emailed her directly for confirmation. But expect a delay to answers.

The claim seems to be that the roadmap emails were sent without her (or by some interpretations). Jeremys approval. Dispite this being a requirement of the initial founding in July.

She seems to indicate other independent MPs are trying to freeze her out of the process. And she set up the membership site to support the roadmap. While ensuring members were involved in the process.

My opinion is nothing more then that. So you guys will need to decide for yourselfs. But I am of the opinion the membership we signed up to are in her control. Rather then a random stranger. And will wait to see if other evidence supports her claims that independent MPs that have claimed to support the party are potentially causing trouble before members can prevent it.

Today is the day. Our membership portal is now open.

For too long, Britain’s politics has been run in the interests of the rich and powerful. From Ayr to Aberystwyth, our new party is about changing that - taking power back for working people, communities and future generations.

Joining isn’t just about signing up. It means taking part in a founding process that is genuinely democratic and member-led.

Hi. Just to make things clear. My reason for trying this is I am visually impaired.

I am writing some code to run on a pi zero 2. With a small 5 inch screen. IE the code interface is being designed to display very clear large buttons on a small screen.

To set up the OS build, I am trying to create a Qemu emulator on my large screened home desktop. So I can actually read code file system etc in large print. Once I have the OS set up and can install a lite image with very minimal xwindows / tkinter support. I can then use SsH etc to work on the GPIo stuff.

My issue is I have no experience with QEMU. I am having issues finding any online guide using recent versions of QemuEtc (preferably not video as watching code/CLI on YouTube is just undoable with vision issue's.)

If anyone can help with a guide on how to set up qemu_system_aarch64 for raspi2ap

IE what exactly I need to do to provide a -kernal and IMG etc to build a image. I'd be very grateful.

I'm posting here hoping you guys will have some experience. But please let me know if somewhere else would be better.

My desktop is running Debian bookworm with a back ports version of QEMU.

 

For anyone joining Your Party or interested in the ideals etc.

Gary's Economics is a very good channel to watch. The guy really knows his stuff.

He is doing a good job of pushing the data and obvious risk of economic inequality on social media.

This link is not the best first one, I'd recommend spending time watching his understanding wealth series. He dose a very good job of pointing out why the current inequality happened etc.

LINK BELOW.

https://youtu.be/bReS9FLpgT4

But this video cross posted is a good indication of the work ahead for YourParty before the next election. it is going to take time and funding to form a good wealth tax policy. And the Party should start soon after the 1st conference.

Community Advice (feddit.uk)

As you are new to this. Thought more experienced may want a place to offer friendly advice.

First it is common to post rules for communities in the side bar. Normally just behaivior type things. Look at a few other communities on political parties and use what you feel in appropriate.

As the community grows. You may want to find folks you trust and ask them to help mod the group. This is mainly folks with the authority to delete posts that break said rules. Multiple people help limit the time offensive nsfw or outright advertising like posts (assuming they are rules you want. NSFW is required by feddit.uk as are a few others.) are up and causing issues.

Feddit UK really is a fairly good space people wise, but Any political forum attracts fecal exit points.

Others may have more ideas.
