If I had Elon Musk's money I would become a light and tree evangelist. All my resources would be spent educating people on better lighting and making it happen in public spaces and planting fucking trees everywhere and creating trusts for arborists to maintain them

For over 300 years now, it is a bedrock principle in Anglo-American constitutionalism that obedience is owed according only to law. Refusal to follow an illegal command is not only a moral choice but an absolute duty.

Remember how we kept getting told that a European Army was a REALLY BAD idea?
It's January 31st, 2020, and Nathan Gill is celebrating our imminent departure from the EU.... and that terrible idea of a European Army.
Hmm, now I wonder who else would have been delighted about that.
