oh look, reason #1 why police officers do not need to be lethally armed their entire shifts . cowardice humans.
I do NOT want to say this, but….ugghhh….we should take a lesson from the U.K.
We should take lots of lessons from Europe, honestly.
Does Europe consider the U.K. a part of it? Does the U.K. think it’s part of Europe?
The UK only claims that when it suits them.
I mean… just about everything that’s old-world, north of Africa, west of the Urals, and north/west of Istanbul is considered Europe.
The extent of Europe is very broad, with even Iceland being considered a part of it; and it isn’t bound politically. For example, Denmark is considered to be in Europe but Greenland (a territory of Denmark) isn’t, but then again, the Faroe Islands (another territory of Denmark) is.
You might be thinking more along the lines of the EU (European Union) which is the third iteration of the dominant political/economic entity in much of Europe, born in 1993 when it legally became a person. Where the EU actually reaches across the entire globe due to overseas regions, collectives, and municipalities.
Albion voted to go fuck itself, so speaking as an European it should go and do that, until it votes to come crawling back and passes a looong vetting process (and this time no weird money, and we get to set the colour of the passports, even though every other member can choose theirs freely).
My take as an American is that they appear to be doing a bang up job with the self-fuckening so far
Depends on the year and part of the country.
I thought this was a response to my sausage gravy post at first, and I was very confused by the idea of seasonal pork varieties.
