Why is this even an article

Because it’s designed to make us feel good at the cost of a fool’s misfortune.

Just like 50% of the “news” out there.

Uk. Dandelion and Burdock.

It’s closest equivalent would be root beer, but it’s quite distinct from that.

Sadly, almost all UK soft drinks taste like shit now because of the Sugar Tax, where they’ve been reformulated to use more artificial sweeteners to avoid being taxed more heavily.

Except we don’t want the headline beef or chicken. We have very high food safety and animal welfare standards in the UK and they just don’t qualify on either count.

Art of the deal, baby.

Religion is more powerful in countries with low education standards.

With the US government actively dismantling its education system, this is part of that bigger picture of wanting a dumber population so they’re more easily controlled - through fear.

A shame to see America go so regressive so quickly.

1. Small forks go faster.

Of course, that depends on Trump following court orders, which as we know, he’s more than willing to ignore.

I think that’s been one of the biggest surprises to this European spectator - that justice can be ignored if you’re powerful enough in America.

We had glimpses of it with the first end-of-term pardons. Then Biden did the same for his son, and Trump released all those who committed treason in his name on his first day of his second term. All those people were fund guilt after due process, but someone can unilaterally say “let them free” and they’re out. I totally understand the lawyer quitting his career when Trump was “pardoned” for his own crimes after being elected. Biggest case of his career, years invested in training and work and he played a blinder - only for it to be turned to nothing.

So we’ve learned that if you’re rich in the US (because rich == powerful there like nowhere else in the world) then you are untouchable by justice. For a country that was literally born from a civil war, that’s a pretty huge failing of its constitution.
