Hamilton was particularly keen that the pardon be included to cover such cases. A great believer in checks and balances, he saw it as a check on excessive legal harshness.

The power was modelled on the British monarch’s "royal prerogative of mercy,”; not a great precedent but the framers saw that law enforcement could be random in 1788, sometimes blind and could be unfeeling, potentially punishing those less able to defend themselves alongside the truly guilty. 3/4

I don’t think the framers anticipated that a lunatic would a) be elected and b) would use it to prod unrepententant criminals many of whom are his mates.

Trump is bonkers. The Presidential Pardon in article 2 section 2 of the US Constitution was included for a very specific purpose and to be used exceptionally.

1. How is a Surveillance State going to stop China winning - It isn't.

2. Isn't a Surveillance State exactly what you accuse China of being.

So what would be the difference?

So I propose we keep our nuclear deterrent but on a hugely reduced bases. Keep say two nuclear weapons, made by the UK entirely independently of the US but in consultation with France who already have their own truly independent nuclear deterrent. What do you say @zackpolanski.bsky.social? 3/3

However I would like to see the policy changed thus:

I believe that the UK needs to keep its permanent seat on the UN security council in order to have influence over important decisions but to do so, we need to be a nation with nuclear weapons. 2/3

I am a member of the @greenparty.org.uk. Like members of the LibDems and Labour, I disagree with one or two of the Greens's policies, my case defence. That's fine; the policy is selected and tuned based on party members' votes. 1/3

Hedgefund managers did this in the City with help from friendly Tory chancellors and ministers in the Treasury. The Polymarket is sickenly worse - it's betting on the for horsemen; conquest, war, famine and ghoulishly grim bloodshed and death.

The excellent @brexitpirates.bsky.social inspired this thought after I read the article they linked to. This is what's happening:

1. Bet on event happening and when
2. Deliberately cause event

“Not only is Reform taking large amounts of money from an industry with a big interest in changing UK Govt policy, but that industry is also one with major links to organised crime, terrorism and foreign dictatorships.”

The corrupt stink of Reform is overwhelming.

Capitalism will never provide a solution to anything because it wants to profit from everything.
