It's a fact there is devolution which gives Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales some powers to make their own laws. The people in England have to pay for prescriptions while in Wales prescriptions are free. Personally I am not a fan of devolution and think every law should be the same through out the UK. However, we do have devolution so it should be up to the Northern Ireland Assembly to decide if they want to change laws to allow same sex marriage and abortion. Northern Ireland are only in the EU because they are part of the UK and the EU referendum was to decide whether the whole of the UK remained in the EU or leave the EU. All the DUP have done is respect the democratic referendum result and acted in the best interests of Northern Ireland. The DUP are good people. the DUP are extremists......they are a nice fit with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be the Northern Ireland which voted to remain in the EU? Read this and tell me again that the DUP are good people. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shankill_Butchers Edited December 4, 2018 by Top Cats Hat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Litotes Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 5 hours ago, apelike said: Wiki also states that Selective Availability or downgrading the signal is no longer done since 2000 under a US Presidential executive order, and the newer satellites cant use Selective Availability so basically GPS now uses the full set of data and is military grade. What is interesting is that if the EU are to progress with its own EU army and weapons production then Galileo will be an integral part of it. Are those the same presidential executive orders of the type that Trump has overturned? Also who says they can't use selective availability? The same administration that 'can't' downgrade the signal? NOTE TO SELF: Just because wiki says it is so, doesn't mean it is so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Cats Hat Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Brextremists are really in the crap now. Today's votes in parliament along with yesterday's 'legal advice' and today's news from the ECJ have shifted the options from May's deal or no deal to May's deal or no Brexit! We could see Rees-Smug and his bunch of cranks voting for May's deal next week for fear that if the deal falls, MPs will vote to halt Article 50 and the whole Brexit nonsense will eventually be forgotten about with no need for a referenndum!

Anna B Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Where did the 'no Brexit' idea come from? I'm hearing it bandied about a lot now. What happened to 'Brexit means Brexit,' 'Respecting the people's vote,' 'No deal is better than a bad deal,' etc? So, the elitist Establishment crowd get their own way again. So much for democracy...

Unless you can show details that Trump has overturned the previous executive orders then NO. For further reference: https://www.gps.gov/systems/gps/modernization/sa/ If the new US GPSIII satellites don't have the capability to be selective then the whole network wont now either.
