Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Very timely discovery for Harvard. Magna Carta, originally granted by King John in 1215, was the first document to put into writing the principle that the king and his government were not above the law.
Harvard’s unofficial copy of Magna Carta is actually an original, experts say
Document issued by Edward I in 1300 was bought by law school library for just $27 in 1946

This is ridiculous. Whatever their political beliefs might be, people in the UK love birds. How can the Labour party possibly believe that this is contentious? Damn their Reform cosplay idiocy.
‘The hypocrisy is staggering’ - I said that because the Govt has said they will whip against the swift brick amendment that they whipped for 2 years ago….They CAN still embrace it. Thanks Patrick for covering swift bricks as we welcome swifts home.

It’s 9am TFT time here, and citizens are already gathering to protest Tariffs by the United States. Our plain clothes Officer Penguins are attempting to maintain calm, but unfortunately we keep losing them in the crowd.

List of countries not subjected to tariffs:
Russia
Belarus
North Korea
Cuba
They apparently took the time to impose tariffs on several uninhabited islands, so the omissions are extra noteworthy. If you spot others please flag!
