This is only if you are a British national. Admitted I only scanned through the OP’s post, but I didn’t see anything other than a comparison with the French system.
fluke@lemmy.worldto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•‘Missed opportunity’ after Jimmy Savile to deal with NHS necrophiliaEnglish1·1 year agoWhat are defining by ‘universal’ though? Universal across ALL humans? Well clearly no because there are tribes which have isolated traditions and beliefs surrounding particular things that we find revolting.
Even if there was something that EVERY group of humans found reprehensible, there are still going to be individuals that will do it.

Of which there are plenty of that class up and down the Danube.

Edit: rather than just downvoting, why not consider that the Danube exists and is plenty of patrol boats/frigates based up and down it by Ukraine friendly nations.

Do not confuse me saying that with sympathising with Hamas. It is possible to recognise that both sides have bloody hands, and have done for decades.

fluke@lemmy.worldto Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•Amphibious Tractors With Tank Engines: The Secret Weapons Of Ukraine’s River-Crossing Offensive5·2 years agoThe movement of what appears to be BTR4 across the Dnipro is interesting.
BTR4 is generally considered to be one of Ukraine’s most capable platforms, but very thin in number. They were thin in number at the start of the 2022 invasion and suffered what seemed to be heavy losses despite their effectiveness. Who remembers those videos showing the thermal screens inside a vehicle absolutely massacring Russian infantry and pounding their armoured support? Those were from a BTR4 in Mariupol.
Their deployment in this fashion is really good to see as it means that Ukrainian commanders either feel that they’re going to be successful in strengthening and widening their bridgehead or that they’ve been able to ramp up production and are able to afford the losses of the type by risking it in these types of high risk missions. Or both.
This isn’t necessarily a message to transgender people as individuals, but more a message to their followers that they cannot use their religion as an excuse for their bigotry and ignorant hatred.
Just because it may not make a difference overnight it doesn’t mean that it isn’t a step in the right direction.

fluke@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.ml•Zelensky refuses to hold elections in wartime Ukraine496·2 years agoYes. This is a inflammatory headline purely to try and push an agenda.
There was literally a poll a couple of months ago that showed something like 80% of Ukrainians were in favour of not having elections.
Not to even mention that Ukraine is under Marshall Law, and per their laws disallows elections. And don’t even get me started on the entire premise of running elections in a country where a quarter of the landmass is under enemy occupation and the logistics of getting votes from 100s of thousands of deployed troops and the serious security concerns of the election itself from Russian attacks.
In my opinion Newsweek have just outed themselves here and the question is for who?
