  • He granted Huda Ammori leave to bring a full judicial review on the basis that it is arguable that:

    1. The order is a disproportionate interference with Articles 10 and 11 of European Convention on Human Rights [the rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly]; and that

    2. Yvette Cooper, the Home Secretary, breached the duty to consult, by failing to consult either Palestine Action or civil liberties organisations on the impact of the order, while consulting with representatives from the Israeli Government and Elbit Systems the leading supplier of weapons to the Israeli Government.

    Lol number two is more of a statement of truth than an argument that might be argued












  • I’ve really enjoyed Busuu (created by Chegg, a US company) for learning eng—> spanish and eng —>german. Their free version has annoying ads but it does give you a chance to test the interface. The yearly subscription fee isn’t bad for the premium version that gets rid of ads. I’ve taken traditional classes and also used various apps like duolingo. Busuu strikes a happy medium between immersion and clear, digestible grammar explanation. I also like their review area (for vocab and grammar topics).

    The platform doesn’t support Vietnamese yet but has chinese, japanese, and spanish of the ones you mentioned.





  • Asked about what concessions, if any, the US had made in the talks, the Commission chief replied with a general remark about shared prosperity.

    “The starting point was an imbalance, a surplus (of goods) on our side and a deficit on the US side. We wanted to rebalance the trade relation, and we wanted to do it in a way that trade goes on between the two of us across the Atlantic,” she said.

    Let me get this straight… EU has a lot of goods the US needs. US does not have a lot of goods the EU needs. So the EU, which seems to have the upper hand, agrees to sell their goods to the US at a lower price? Is this mainly to avoid stepping on the toes of EU merchants that would like to sell to the US market specifically?
