Judicial power is vested in the various judiciaries of the United Kingdom, who by constitution and statute[7] have judicial independence of the Government.
The Church of England, of which the monarch is the head, has its own legislative, judicial and executive structures.
Powers independent of government are legally granted to other public bodies by statute or Statutory Instrument such as an Order in Council, Royal Commission or otherwise.
The sovereign's role as a constitutional monarch is largely limited to non-partisan functions, such as granting honours. This role has been recognised since the 19th century.
The Fixed-term Parliaments Act 2011 removed the monarch's authority to dissolve Parliament; however the Act specifically retained the monarch's power of prorogation.

2019-09-14 22:54:55 UTC

Some of the government's executive authority is theoretically and nominally vested in the sovereign and is known as the royal prerogative. The monarch acts within the constraints of convention and precedent, exercising prerogative only on the advice of ministers responsible to Parliament, often through the prime minister or Privy Council.
The royal prerogative includes the powers to appoint and dismiss ministers, regulate the civil service, issue passports, declare war, make peace, direct the actions of the military, and negotiate and ratify treaties, alliances, and international agreements. However, a treaty cannot alter the domestic laws of the United Kingdom; an Act of Parliament is necessary in such cases.
The Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly known internationally as the UK Parliament, British Parliament, or Westminster Parliament, and domestically simply as Parliament or Westminster, is the supreme legislative body of the United Kingdom.
The Parliament of the United Kingdom is bicameral, with an upper house, the House of Lords, and a lower house, the House of Commons.
In modern times, real power is vested in the House of Commons; the Sovereign acts only as a figurehead and the powers of the House of Lords are greatly limited.

@Broken Cocaine Bars ^^^^ there is your answer... so who is wrong?

yes... that still means she has to follow rules... isnt above the law totally

2019-09-14 23:02:17 UTC

"the government's executive authority is theoretically and nominally vested in the sovereign and is known as the royal prerogative"

2019-09-14 23:04:59 UTC

continue reading after that tho

2019-09-14 23:36:29 UTC

Nuclear power.

2019-09-14 23:38:57 UTC

Has carbon capture ever presented any proof of concept?

2019-09-14 23:40:16 UTC

Not that I'm aware of, tbh.

2019-09-14 23:40:26 UTC

Trees seem to be the best for it, and young trees at that.

2019-09-14 23:41:43 UTC

Cut them down when they stop growing.
Bury the tree trunk and grow new tree
Rinse and repeat

2019-09-14 23:42:06 UTC

Nah, you use the tree for wood products.

2019-09-14 23:42:23 UTC

Other than that, yeah.

2019-09-14 23:51:54 UTC

Money well spend even if it does not work, it creates competent people in this area.

2019-09-14 23:59:56 UTC

Sadly most people just want the move the pollution overseas via outsourcing

2019-09-15 00:44:35 UTC

the way global warming was explained to me was with a feedback loop

2019-09-15 00:44:47 UTC

so I somehow imagine it won't actually be bad

2019-09-15 00:45:15 UTC

what will happen is we'll find that there's a counter-mechanism that prevents the globe from warming exponentially

2019-09-15 00:57:14 UTC

That and more of canada becoming arable and not frozen over

2019-09-15 00:57:39 UTC

not to mention Greenland, which was named, presumably, before the last ice age

2019-09-15 00:58:10 UTC

And the antarctic is still growing

Release co2 to save the forests

2019-09-15 03:19:38 UTC

there is a counter-mechanism

2019-09-15 03:19:42 UTC

its called volcanic winter

2019-09-15 04:06:47 UTC

Letโ€™s do it

2019-09-15 04:06:54 UTC

Unlimited snow days

2019-09-15 04:08:09 UTC

my fellow negros may not like it

2019-09-15 04:08:20 UTC

they might decide to mutate

2019-09-15 04:10:47 UTC

My comfort zone for temperature is in the teens on both C and F. So I welcome our inevitable eternal winter

2019-09-15 05:04:31 UTC

What? Is it negative C?

2019-09-15 06:11:25 UTC

My comfort zone is Cยฐ is about 11-20ish

2019-09-15 06:12:10 UTC

20's being on the "a little too warm" side

2019-09-15 12:08:00 UTC

Great set of books

2019-09-15 12:08:55 UTC

> Spengler introduces his book as a "Copernican overturning" involving the rejection of the Eurocentric view of history, especially the division of history into the linear "ancient-medieval-modern" rubric. According to Spengler, the meaningful units for history are not epochs but whole cultures which evolve as organisms. He recognizes at least eight high cultures: Babylonian, Egyptian, Chinese, Indian, Mesoamerican (Mayan/Aztec), Classical (Greek/Roman), Arabian, and Western or European. Cultures have a lifespan of about a thousand years of flourishing, and a thousand years of decline. The final stage of each culture is, in his word use, a "civilization".

2019-09-15 16:15:05 UTC

ok guys

2019-09-15 16:15:35 UTC

Dr Pepper is the best soda, and Coca Cola is trash

2019-09-15 16:15:41 UTC

anyone disagree?

2019-09-15 16:22:41 UTC

Yeah

2019-09-15 20:47:28 UTC

So it looks like the bloodbath of diversity is finally hitting the ux industry, this will be fun, since they are the ones that design most products in big tech

2019-09-15 23:13:20 UTC

@nim.bm I know I am 50 messages behind. But no, you haven't had a revolution therefore your still in an archaic system.

2019-09-16 02:35:25 UTC

Coca Cola is good with rum

2019-09-16 02:36:02 UTC

Or for some reason as icecubes, even though the syrup separates weirdly

2019-09-16 06:30:18 UTC

@Nat did you just come on to discord drunk?

2019-09-16 06:34:13 UTC

Anyway, the point of a revolution of the people is, to accept the people's voices through a vote. None of which has been adjusted for the rights of the people. There is still a what could you call it; surfdom, peasant system - politeriate Vs bourgeois system in the UK. People, love that system. Now, they have to change it. Those whom don't want to, are voting remain. Those whom want devolution of certain powers, want to leave. This isn't just about Europe anymore. This is about constitution and fairness

2019-09-16 06:39:01 UTC

At the moment, I do feel sorry for those whom travelled to the UK illegally. Because now, they really have to consider leaving because this is going to become a revolt. There is just the Queen in power.

2019-09-16 06:43:17 UTC

@TEABAG!!! donโ€™t @ me, people were talking about coke and doctor pepper before your boring uninteresting opinions

2019-09-16 06:56:44 UTC

@Nat Both of those are shit tbh

2019-09-16 06:57:17 UTC

@Xaverius you are wrong

2019-09-16 06:57:43 UTC

Youโ€™re allowed to @ me because youโ€™re not teabag though

2019-09-16 10:34:50 UTC

Wrongthink squad has already got this on their radar

2019-09-16 17:55:00 UTC

They'll probably get the paper removed, force the editors to apologize and shut down the researchers PayPal, Credit Card, Patreon etc., apart from getting his degrees revoked, in a matter of months

meh, subjective crackpot racist pseudo science, if he gets cast out thats his problem, not ours<:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

"Meh, Darwin is peddling heretic crackpot theories, if he gets cast out that's his problem, not ours <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>" - Pastor Thundercock, 1860

Darwin is relativly correct in his assesment of evolution, MacDonald is not correct in his subjective assertations of 'group evolution' and 'Jewish Genes'

I dont really give a crap what Yishai Fleisher thinks about jews and how they should behave

especially since this piece is just a vehicle for slinging mud against his political opponents

2019-09-16 19:35:57 UTC

Remember guys: race is more important then actual familiar relations. If your brother fucks an Asian and has kids with her, you should feel more related to some random white kids from across the street then to your nieces and nephews. Isn't modern ethno-nationalism smart?!

2019-09-16 19:40:34 UTC

.
I sometimes unironically think that this whole ethno-nat soft revival is low key endorsed by the fookin illuminati or some shit: "How do we atomize a multi-ethnic society to make it ezer to control, Phil? I know John! Let's convince them they should break their familiar bonds and identify along semi-arbitrary criteria that will allow us to market politics to them on a group-by-group basis and play them against one another". That or at least by cosmetics companies that want to create ez to track consumer groups, or some shit.

Hiya, I haven't been very active here, so not sure which channel this topic would be most appropriate in, but since this says "debates", I'll try my luck.
When did it cease to be sufficient for a family to be sustainable on a single income? Why ? Or was that never the case and the whole "man works" think is a myth?
Seems to me to be a fundamental flaw of our time that both parents in an average family are forced by circumstance to work. Maybe I am wrong, but in any case, sources and stats would be welcome.

getting rid of apartied in South Africa was a mistake

2019-09-16 19:47:11 UTC

@Okojamos It never really worked except in a very specific historic and geographic frame, and only for some. It;s basically an American myth.

2019-09-16 19:47:26 UTC

since now the whites are getting fucked over

Women DID work

2019-09-16 19:50:38 UTC

always

2019-09-16 19:50:44 UTC

they just did different things

2019-09-16 19:51:01 UTC

and tended to work in the house to also be around the kids as they worked

2019-09-16 19:51:29 UTC

the revolution of the modern era is taking them out of the home, not making them work

2019-09-16 19:52:07 UTC

and even that is only true to some degree

2019-09-16 19:52:17 UTC

women did work outside of the home before

2019-09-16 19:52:29 UTC

it just wasn't as common as it is today

2019-09-16 19:53:06 UTC

So far the only thing that makes sense to me is that feminism is to blame. As usual.

2019-09-16 19:53:35 UTC

There was a whole international movement in the 19th century saying that a worker should be able to feed his family for his wage. Implying that he *couldn't*
