That creates hundreds of millions of waste packets every year surely.

It might be wasteful, but it's probably not more wasteful than packaging and shipping all these packets.

It's banned in almost every country other than the US for a reason.

I can't find anything to suggest this is true.

The peripheral states are no less vulnerable to their own powers that be, while also being, at least to some degree, vulnerable to the powers of the core.

Revolution is the only path forward for both.

With strict liability offences, if you do it, you are guilty. Intent does not come into it. The only question for the court is whether or not they did it, as the law is very clear.

It's a strict liability offence, so no.

While it does prevent some open fascistic rhetoric, it also prevents expressing disapproval of ongoing genocides depending on the UK governments position towards them.

but it exists entirely in the minds of judges

If by this you mean caselaw, sure.

The UK does have a constitution, but it's spread across several dozen documents, caselaw and convention. Government action has in the past been struck down for being unconstitutional, which would be fairly impressive for a nation without one.

You don't fucking know that!

I don't know if for sure, but the facts strongly suggest so.

He had a terminal illness which is terminal.

He had a curable illness that became terminal as the result of him refusing treatment.

You don't know everything.

Sure, no one can, and it's possible that there is some information that's not public that completely transforms the situation. However, this was not the opinion of several of his closest confidants.

I too have a terminal illness

I'm sorry to hear that, you have my condolences.

Literally fuck you for denigrating sick people and terminal people for not doing what you want them to do with your ideas and shaming them. You are a fucking asshole

Steve Jobs effectively committed suicide by not seeking treatment that was well within his power, with the best information in the world. He had the opportunities most people diagnosed with similar diseases would probably have killed to have, and he threw them away. I don't think pointing this out is denigrating the terminally Ill in general or you personally.

you can't force me to die in a fucking hospital hooked to machines with incessant beeping and exploited nurses who need to to take a nap. I don't want them to drain everything so my wife gets nothing but an insurance pay out. I want to die at home with my wife and my cat and all my shit on my own fucking terms and fuck you if you say anything else.

I don't think that I've implied that I could or would want to.
