So they’ve now put back women’s rights by 50 years with their latest decision on the right to abortion

How long before they reintroduce segregation, lynching and the KKK?

Then what, a new Indian wars?

The usa, one of the most technically advanced nations and a world power with half the citizenship still living in 1900's poverty and who are still capable of passing idiotic laws more akin to something from the 1800's :(

I would weep but the septics in general are really not worth the effort :(

At the rate that America continues to go backwards it won't be long before she'll be a British colony once again.

We got enough trouble as it is and the queen doesn't seem to happy with yanks at the moment so i expect she would put the kibosh on that one :jaja-no: wouldn't mind having a go at sinking the mayflower if it came to a reverse trip though :mgwhore:

Special friendship my arse, we are just an old military camp to the yanks, I wouldn't even fight the detestable frogs over the place and that's saying something ! useless tea chucking retards !

Other than the obvious There is a very worrying potential impact of this decision. Roe v Wade is the basis of a classic economic study into crime statistics. Without digging the book out I can’t remember the detail but a clear link was established between a sudden and unexpected sharp drop in crime in the USA some years after the ruling was made. The logic being that there were less potential criminals as a result of the introduction of legalised abortions ie fewer children being born into environments where they were most likely to end up on the wrong side of the law.

watch this space?

It never seems to occur to anyone that maybe the Constitution got the ‘right to bear arms’ bit wrong?

While it is way too little way too late in my opinion at least this is a step in the right direction. Some interesting statistics here as well…

Didn’t it really mean to say they could all wear short sleeves in the summer?

I thought that; it should be ‘the right to arm bears’. Poor buggers should be allowed to defend themselves, with assault rifles if necessary.

Have you ever considered applying for a role as an Ambassador or working in The Foreign Office?

He's going to be my Foreign Secretary when I'm Prime Minister. I have Dezza down for Home Secretary and you as Chancellor.

I didn't see anything in writing but I think the New York decision on guns is limited.
I don't think it includes AK47 style arms.

I think

slim63 has that one nailed on. Wouldn’t even need a defence budget, the contents of his shed will be more than enough.
He's Foreign Secretary. Once we're in office he'll wind up the Froganese to the point that they'll say something anti-British and I'll supply the means to put them back in their box.

This will be so popular with the public that it should keep us both in our respective positions ad infinitum.

Nah, his diplomacy skills would be better served in the foreign office but I can arrange it so that he has a say in the attack budget. Defence, sorry defence budget.
