A little known fact that Queen Elizabeth II sent this message, unsolicited, to all ARPANET users way back in 1976.

Thus, becoming the world's very first spammer. :)

People are going bonkers over Trump's immunity from prosecution. But we, in the UK, set the precedent.

"Charles is exempt from criminal and civil proceedings as the head of state. But the King’s immunity extends beyond his public duties to his conduct on privately-owned assets, estates, and businesses."

In 1800's the British government attempts to set up a police force for London were met with opposition.

People were suspicious of the idea of a large and possibly armed police force, and feared that it could be used to suppress protest or support unpopular rule.

The police force that was established is what we now know as the Metropolitan Police.

So, the USA uses its UN veto to prevent a ceasefire in Gaza. The very next day the US President uses his emergency powers to sell $106.5m worth of tank ammunitions to Israel.

That tells you everything you need to know about the United States, human rights and the unfolding genocide.

@aral A powerful article, although choosing that particular quote does not convey the message contained within.
