I didn't know that Trump had to give his permission for teams to play.

cf Blair with Kosovo and Afghanistan/Iraq

where was the "tar and feather him" option?

To win by mercy rule Mexico must score more than 5 runs, so I don't see how that part is relevant.

Trump official says something honest

"Brexit vote in 2020". Erm, I'm pretty sure the "vote" was in 2016.

Life in the UK Test 1 When did the Habeas Corpus Act become law? A: 1679; B: 1687; C: 1685; D: 1683

I doubt more than 1% of UK citizens could answer this correctly without guessing.

I wonder if Farage is having a wee strop because he didn't get to meet Trump at the weekend.

or the Father Ted "three ages of Elvis" pastiche

He was still PM when he said that. I think that part was meant as an acknowledgment that the voters could "judge" him. Presumably he took re-election in 2005, even with a reduced majority, as a vindication.

you're probably never going to get best vs best in Olympic baseball (unlike e.g. hockey), so why bother?

Iraqi population is majority Shia. There will be plenty of people there who sympathise with Iran in this.

"Durham" in this context is the council area, which covers a a large part of NE England. This by-election was for one seat on the council. Murton is a village of about 4,000 people, so there won't have been more than about 2,000 votes cast. It's an interesting result but doesn't mean much by itself.

Twins laughably overrated, as usual

He was standing as a hard-right candidate in a constituency that hasn't elected a conservative since 1931, but who am I to say that he had little chance of winning?

Probably asking a stupid/redundant question here, but has Trump bothered to check with Turkey and Iraq whether it's okay with them to fuel Kurdish nationalism?

Kind of always has been, but people tend to think of it as being part of Glos because the cricket team play there. Legally it's been a separate county since Avon was split up in the mid 90s.
