Sorry. But that is for US citizens becoming dual.

Not foreign citizens becoming US.

If you are a non US citizen applying for US citizenship. Then you have to request the home nation end you citizenship.

When I lived in the US. The UK embassy was openly recommending this to folks taking US citizen ship.

Thanks for sharing. Nice to have less anacdotal evidence.

Well nice is not the right word. But I'm sure you know what I mean,

[–] HumanPenguin@feddit.uk 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Yes. As far as making laws they can. That is the whole meaning or the phrase parliament is sovereign.

It's not a good thing. But is why voting and education is so important. Because when it comes to actions in parliament only voting has any authority.

It's not unique. As we see in the US. Where both houses have to act on many things. And when one party is given power their is little the nation can do to stop it.

But honestly there is not real answer. Any organisation given the authority to arrest parliament is under the same risk of abuse. As we see with the US FBI. All it means is the corrupt political org. Takes control of that first.

In the US and UK. It is why the right has taken control of the media over the last few decades.

This is also why both main parties have worked so hard to remove the right to protest. The mass is the only control we have.

Honestly. Would you really want the law to work that way.

The result would be a government that is impossible to legally fault. As doing so would be to expensive for the people in power.

But the answer is. No the acts of any MP in parliament are not within the remit of any legal authority other then parliament. Act outside parliament. IE not involved in the passing of laws are as for all others.

But nothing said or voted for in the house is allowed to be addressed outside the house.

The original reason for this was to prevent each party trying to make the actions of the last gov a crime. It really dose not take long to imagine the harm that would cause, unfortunately the only way such a thing could work. Would be if corruption did not exist. As it will always exist in all political movements. Allowing one political group to have the ability to make the ideals of another a crime. Is never workable.

The 2 main parties are failing.

As such the powerful are desperate to be owed by whomever replaces both. So will donate to gain control.

Anacdotal experience only. But I'd suggest it's way more common then folks know.

More so from the 1970s and before. And in rural areas of the UK. But that is more to do with options and how they spread post 1967 law changes. (Pill and abortion both legalized. Though pill only for married women at that time). But for younger readers. Both were often hard to obtain for young adult women in rural areas until the mid 80s.

As a teen My GPs lived in a farming village. And would hint at it when I visited and got to know a few local girls. I did not think much of it at the time.

Post Uni I lived with them for a few months. And got to know one of these girls way better. To the point she felt the need to explain why she never wanted children.

Apparently she knew a few others in the village were in the same situation. For timing this was mid 90s we were both in our mid 20s at the time. So he mother likely finished school in the late 60s. And I know sex education in schools was very hit and miss due to political attitudes at the time. With city schools being more comfortable then rural. Late 60s was when the pill was legalised and labour were pushing all schools to add sex ed classes. So many parents objected.

But news over the last 30+ years. Would lead me to recognise while Insest is no less common. Pro Choice really matters for more reasons then most would expect.

AI cannot take your job. But 10 years ago. It could not make many jobs any easier.

People are worried because AI is developing at a rate. Where the people currently paying you. Clearly think its development is worth huge funding. And they will only do this if they have reason to beltpaying you becomes less needed.

Last time we saw this. Was factory spending on robotics in the 1970s. Many then said they would take no jobs. Those of us older watched a direct reduction in jobs linked to this. And are expecting similar levels for AI in the next few decades.

And the reason they are pushing that shit. Is not to convince you your job is at risk. They do not want you to panic.

They push it to convince customers to accept the work AIs provide. Just like we now accept mass production way more then my parents generation did. We now expect identical rather then craftsman individualist production. Flat pack furniture produced by machine made wood. Etc etc.

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.

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.
