The judges are not politically impartial, thr court now has 5 republicans and 4 democrats.

Anyway the supreme court has way too much power. What was the point in dumping King George III, only to replace him with a bunch of unelected judges?

My point is that with him being so religious means he can't be impartial. Obviously it's politically impartial anyway.

But none of them are impartial, whether they are religious or not is irrelevant. You should really think of them as politicians, not judges.

Disnae matter.

For f'uck sake lads, why is any of this remotely interesting?

It's a foreign country, populated with religious nutters.

Just because the BBC decides it news doesn't make it any of our business.

Dangerous times to be a journalist it seems. What about that Saudi who was disappeared in their Turkish consulate. Arrived for a meeting but never made it out again. All Turkish staff were told to take the day off, all cctv was broke that day and a group of mysterious Saudi dudes flew in via private jet, spent some time at the consulate before flying home the next day. Don't think we'll be seeing him again.

Foul play in the murder of the Bulgarian journo Viktoria Marinova? She seemed to be ruffling a few feathers in the corrupt world of EU funding.

Another Royal Wedding today. The fragrant Princess Eugenie gets hitched today in front of assembled guests such as Naomi Campbell, Victoria Beckham, Cindy Crawford, Ellie Goulding, Amal Clooney.

Y'all got your Union Jacks out?

Have to say, the wedding is changing my mind over Brexit. Maybe if we show some of the character that’s on display today, we’ll be ok after all

That's the spirit. Makes a change from you mocking those patriotic non-loony Brits who smother themselves in Union Jacks in order to celebrate our proud culture/get on the telly. Not many folk about today mind you...

So a historic day here in Canada, recreational Cannabis is now legal. Smoke shops have opened up all over the place in Edmonton. Will make it interesting going to the pub with all the smokers outside, might find myself a lot hungrier after a couple of pints than I used to be. Don't indulge in it myself, but for those that do, happy Wednesday.

Sensible move for a number of reasons. Long term weed smokers are all f*cked in the head though

Is it legal in Lisbon or am I making things up?
