Each state gets two senators whether it is California with nearly 40 million people or Wyoming with less than 600,000. One of the reasons why there are two Dakotas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Americans aren't the only ones who do daft things, (although there are also two Carolinas). It must have been one hell of a bevvy session the night Australia decided that what the world really needed was another South Wales. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakedee Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Exactly. If it's only the incorrect ones being changed, what's the problem?Allowing "Ministers" to decide whether they are correct,or incorrect is a can of worms awaiting to be opened. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 "Many experts maintain that the government is more worried about appearing tough than saving the lives of people who use drugs" This is shocking news. Say it ain't so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspect Device Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 This is not shocking or even New. It's been obvious for years. The strange thing is that public opinion isn't anywhere near the Tory stance. f**k knows why they stick with the war on drugs pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could pick a better enemy though. You'd think that the Tories would see the money making opportunities and get right behind the legalisation. Maybe none of their donors are involved in the industry so it's not worth their time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
