@MedBudUK It also gets you fucking wasted. This is the part that everyone leaves out. The trickery is too obvious for it ever to be legalised.

Hemp once powered England to its greatest heights, where under King Henry VIII in 1533, farmers were required to grow cannabis - for rope, sails, rigging and even basic canvas. Hemp today can create alternative building materials, and even offer a viable alternative to plastics.

@A_K_Mandhan or : did they they rout a big ground invasion disguised as a rescue mission .

🚨 THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE 🚨 🚨NOBODY UNDERSTANDS WHAT THEY JUST TRIGGERED. 🚨 🚨 BREAKING: Iranian Army warns of "massive historic surprise" tonight that the "world will remember for centuries."

@KerryHolmekb believes.

Who else believed that JD Vance was neither suitable nor qualified to be Vice President of the United States???

@Gerashchenko_en in simplified terms:Given that Iran have helped Russia so you can't support Iran, it's not OK for many of us that you support Israel as similar aggressor.

Iran is demanding sovereign control over the Strait of Hormuz. If it succeeds in imposing this logic, it will undermine the very foundation of international maritime law. The Strait of Hormuz is an international strait governed by the regime of transit passage: passage cannot be arbitrarily prevented or made selective. If Iran succeeds, it will open a Pandora's box: other states will also decide they can act the same way. Let's look at other straits that are critically important for the global economy: ◾️ The Straits of Malacca and Singapore are the next most dangerous example. The Strait of Malacca is the world's busiest oil chokepoint, as well as one of the main corridors for common trade; studies estimate that about 20% of global maritime trade passes through the Strait of Malacca, amounting to approximately $2.4-2.5 trillion annually. In theory, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore could all seek to exert tighter control here. If even one of these countries were to impose a system of permits, selective inspections, or political restrictions, global trade would suffer. ◾️ Bab-el-Mandeb is another example of how control over a narrow strait can quickly become a tool of war. In 2023, approximately 9.2 million barrels per day passed through it, but following the escalation, flows dropped to about 4.0-4.2 million barrels per day in 2024-2025. Formally, Yemen, Djibouti, and Eritrea may attempt to strengthen their control here, and effectively, armed non-state actors may also be involved. The threat is clear: whoever controls this chokepoint can sever the maritime link between Europe and Asia via the Red Sea and the Suez Canal. ◾️ The Bosphorus and the Dardanelles are a separate case, as they are already subject to a specific regime under the Montreux Convention, and Türkiye has broader authority over military vessels. But that is precisely why this example is important. In the first half of 2025, approximately 3.7 million barrels per day of oil and petroleum products passed through the Turkish Straits, not counting grain and other Black Sea exports. The danger here lies elsewhere: the existing legal exception could become a justification for new exceptions in other straits. ◾️ The Danish straits are a critical exit route from the Baltic Sea. In the first half of 2025, approximately 4.9 million barrels of oil and petroleum products passed through them daily. Formally, Denmark could impose stricter controls here, and in a broader regional sense, so could the states that control the approaches to the Baltic Sea. If Europe ever adopts a policy of selective access through such a strait, it would mean that even within the Euro-Atlantic space, freedom of navigation is no longer considered absolute. This would be a critical moment for maritime law. ◾️ The Taiwan Strait is perhaps the most dangerous case in the long term. According to CSIS estimates, approximately $2.45 trillion worth of goods passed through it in 2022, accounting for more than one-fifth of global maritime trade. There is only one potential contender for political control here - China. If Beijing manages to impose a system where passage depends not on international rules but on Chinese jurisdiction, it will be a turning point. Then, not only regional security would be at risk, but also the very principle that major trade routes cannot be controlled by a single state through political decision. And since the Taiwan Strait is also linked to the risk of a major war between the US and China, maritime law here directly confronts the risk of global escalation. ◾️ Arctic shipping routes demonstrate that this logic now extends beyond traditional straits. Russia regards the Northern Sea Route as a "historic national transport corridor" and demands compliance with the navigation rules established by Moscow; in 2024, the Northern Sea Route Administration issued 1,312 permits for 975 vessels. Canada, for its part, considers the Northwest Passage to be part of its internal waters, while the United States and other states disagree with this approach. Here, the risk is particularly significant for the future: if Arctic routes begin to be established as a licensed passage under the control of coastal states, this will provide yet another strong argument for those who wish to establish their own control in other areas. So, control over sea lanes is becoming a new weapon. If Iran breaks this barrier in the Strait of Hormuz, other states will also begin competing for control of the seas. The next conflict may arise not only over territory, but over the right to determine who has access to global trade, energy, and naval traffic. This is the real danger: the Strait of Hormuz could lay the groundwork for many future wars.

@SpockResists you think protestants don't have communion- not only that, but many of us don't need a priest's permission.

So he’s taking communion but isn’t even Catholic 🥴

@SirDanofC In 1973 our mortgage was 3 times both incomes - (also 6 times one). Anything new was a wedding present. Going out meant for a walk, no holiday, TV, eating out or wine, we had a small car to access work, but the fuel to a friends wedding was too much.. annual pay rises relieved..

All well and good but scrimping and saving will not buy a house today. You need 5-6 times two salaries not 3 times one salary. By all means ditch the takeaways and new clothes but it isn’t going to make a dent into a quarter of a million quid.

@shelovesore it's "on the third day "

I’m sorry, genuinely asking but i thought Jesus died on a Friday afternoon. Going by that and the fact that he resurrected 3 days after, aren’t we meant to be celebrating Easter on Monday and not Sunday?

@Acyn He is undoubtedly no example to follow and has always exhibited all the signs and cruelty of serious narcissistic mental imbalance, yet his great aunts, Peggy and Christine Smith, were humble women of deep prayer, behind the well documented mid-century scottish Hebridean revival.

White-Cain: Many people don’t know about the upbringing of President Trump. He went sometimes three times a week to Saturday and Sunday school.

@JamesSurowiecki In an adult world... but you're no longer trustworthy.

Isn't the obvious deal that we agree to stop bombing, Iran agrees to open the Strait and stop tolling, and we call it even and everyone goes home?

@McFaul Nato cannot, should never, is not a tool to, endanger it's own. That is a direct breach of the spirit of the agreement. You ignore that fact that you can just opine, whilst others are made complicit are therefore directly implicated.

Even if you did not support Trumps decision to launch of war of choice against Iran (like me), restricting the use of US airbases in NATO countries imprudently damages NATO unity. Yes, Trumps threats to invade/annex NATO countries does too. But 2 wrongs don’t make a right.

@mitchellvii Utterly stupid, or brainwashed ? ... we are known by our friends and by our actions... he fails at both.

Here's what the left doesn't understand about 𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗠𝗣. After they tried to assassinate him twice, they awakened something within him - a terrible resolve. It drew him closer to God, and made him realize that he's living on bonus time. President Trump doesn't care about polls. He doesn't care about media stories. HE CARES ABOUT 𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗟𝗘𝗚𝗔𝗖𝗬. And he's not going to be given a second bite at this apple without doing everything he ever dreamed of doing as President of the United States to MAKE AMERICA AS GREAT AS IT CAN BE. That's why he's doing the tariffs. That's why he's taking out the Iranian threat. That's why he stopped illegal immigration in its tracks! What the left doesn't understand is that President Trump's entire second term is ONE GIANT BUCKET LIST. He's not going to look back at this for the remaining years of his life with ONE SINGLE OUNCE OF REGRET. That makes him very dangerous to the left, and that's why they fear him so much.

@EYakoby the deceived become the deceiver

BREAKING: A cluster munition has struck a residential neighborhood in Tel Aviv. If Israel or the U.S. used cluster munitions against Iran, it would be front page news, Iran sends hundreds of them and there is not a word.

@realstewpeters American congress, citizens and courts are allowing it.

DAVID ROHDE: “Iran offered to give away ALL of its ENRICHED URANIUM during the recent peace talks. Hours later the U.S. started dropping bombs.” Everything we’re being told by the Trump admin is a lie. He’s single-handedly destroying the United States.

@Israellycool maybe: " It turns out it wasn't just one Iranian school that was hit that killed 175 people, it turns out that we have hit 498 education facilities in Iran. Not only that, we've also hit 275 hospitals. "

@Fx1Jonny no. because it's done with hatred in the very country Jesus taught them that love is the only answer even, and especially, to oppression..

Do you think israel survives this war with Iran? Dead serious question? 🤔

@Eve_Barlow and we used to celebrate it with you... but no longer... our eyes are open.

If you’ve never been to a Seder, it is when the Jews get together to drink lots of wine and eat the greatest feast because we have a 2,500+ year origin story that has been handed down generation after generation verbatim. And that’s why you’re never getting rid of us.
