The thing Trek didn't get right was that it was terrorism that brought it about.
In the end it was far more Trek, everyone got round a table and had some hard conversations and then democracy was enacted.
Probably.
But also, has it saved the most lives in the last 100 years?
Probably.
X Window System (X11, or simply X) is a windowing system for bitmap displays, common on Unix-like operating systems.
Would be good if we see a Vulcan being called green skin.
No matter what it was a massive fuck up to say that. It goes to show how politically stupid Sunak is. He could have kept to his rehearsed talking point of claiming that Stamer flip flops (as though Sunak isn't as changeable what his advisors think will be advantageous) and just left off the part about the definition of women.
But instead he just stuck to the transphobic script.
If we banned private healthcare the rich would have an incentive to make socialised healthcare better.

Not great, not terrible.
Shit on it, RIP Paul Ritter
Cunt off you fuck.
Yeah which is why the NHS was better under labour, because it was constantly more than 4% above inflation.
A big part of the killer though is the second part. Yeah the overall budget was (barely) above inflation, but the wage cap was often below inflation. During the time Labour were in power the amount of nurses went up by around 80,000. Since the Tories took power over 200,000 have quit. We can only imagine how many fewer would have left if it weren't for the 1% pay cap and Brexit.
The public discourse around the NHS would lead you to think that NHS spending had been squeezed over the last 14 years - but it hasn't.
NHS budget has actually consistently grown faster than inflation under a decade and a half of Tory health secretaries.
It has been squeezed though.
Under labour the NHS consistently received funding around 4% above inflation, under the Tories it was barely clearing 1% most years Fig 1
There's also the other side of it, the NHS was not exempt from the 1% pay cap.
Should always go up above inflation to retain and attract staff as well as morally to improve people's standards of living (and economically to grow tax receipts and grow the economy)
The two things together it becomes clear how the crisis started. Now add to that Brexit and a large reduction of the labour pool, other countries attracting staff with generous packages.
They're getting ready for the Tories to play really dirty I reckon.
Or the access to a GP. Under the last labour government you could get a GP appointment in 48 hours. So if you had something you were concerned about you could get it checked out. Now it's so hard to see anyone you just give up then if it is something it'll get to the point where you're actually ill.
That works. So it's abortion not murder.
They had a black woman as a high ranking officer on the bridge in the 60s.
And yet I'm DS9 Bashir says that murdering a clone of yourself is still murder. ¯(ツ)/¯ But maybe that was Bayorian law.
The UK doesn't do life sentences with no eligibility for parole. Every sentence will include eligibility for parole, with the maximum period for eligibility being around 25 years.
That's not entirely true. Full life orders do exist.
That nurse who killed all those babies got one last year, that police officer who kidnapped raped and murdered Sarah Everard has one, Dr Harold Shipman had one, and probably most famously Mira Hindley and Ian Brady had them.
