Fed up with Bogus Johnson

mardi 16 mars 2021 à 01:00

Bogus Johnson lied to the British people, to Northern Ireland, and to the EU about the trade UK-EU trade deal. The British people are starting to suffer the consequences — unemployment and poverty — and ought to be fed up with the lies.

*Collapse of trade with EU will "last until the summer".*

Meanwhile, the EU is already fed up.

Extradited before case was finished

mardi 16 mars 2021 à 01:00

Morocco was in an awful hurry to hand over Osama al-Hasani to Salafi Arabia, where he is wanted for forbidden publication. It extradited him before his case was actually finished.

It is clear that Morocco does not take legal rights seriously. Sad to say, Morocco is not the only country that acts this way. The UK's treatment of the extradition of Julian Assange is not similar in details, but it is generally similar in its disrespect for his legal rights.

In recent years, the US has deported people who were in the middle of their court cases over deportation.

Attacks on ICC

The wrecker is no longer president, but his attacks on the International Criminal Court continue. Biden has done nothing to change them.

Americans that cooperate with the ICC face punishment under these sanctions. The ACLU is suing to invalidate that part.

Secretary of interior

Den Haaland has been confirmed as secretary of the interior.

Usually I don't care about the "identity" of an official, only per political stances. However, in this case I think that Haaland's indigenious background, which is more than just a matter of ancestry, is likely to help her right some of the effects of historic wrongs, given that her political stance is to try to do that.

I also cheer her commitment to increased protection of ecosystems.

AstraZeneca vaccine

mardi 16 mars 2021 à 01:00

European governments have ceased administering the AstraZeneca vaccine based on a shadow of a shade of a problem, because they have adopted a policy of bending over backwards to cater to vaccine anxiety.
