That'll teach me to order tickets from @viagogo. A fraudulent (I believe) listing and contemptuous customer service.
(Sorry to mouth off about my experience with crappy B2C brand X. Not sure I've ever done it before and hope never to bore you with it again. You all know what they're like without me needing to tell you.)
(Now feel obliged to say that they've offered me a £75 voucher.)

Here's the cold data that shows "Global Britain" as laughable propagandising.
Just read the Sunday Times for the first time in years.

News section: the mad bombast of the drunk's 1am proposition.

Business section: the drooping disappointment of cephalgic reality.
Do any of the elderly supporters of Brexit, with their fixed pensions and flush with house price gains, care what it means for the young?

If you're a High Court judge what are you thinking about what's coming? A proroguing of Parliament? The Queen forced to opine on whether Johnson has a majority in the Commons? A No Deal in the face of Parliament's expressed will? /1
You're not complacent. You know these are times without modern precedent. You know our constitution offers few answers. 'Does the law have a role?': that's the question you're asking yourself. /2
It one sense it's hard to see how you get involved. A conventional analysis argues powerfully against it. You are taught to leave the functioning of Parliament to it and defer to choices made using the royal power devolved upon the Prime Minister. /3

No. blogs.spectator.co.uk/2019/07/does-t…
I'll try and explain why in language so simple even the Spectator can understand it. Here is what Article 1 of the Decision says. It says we remain in the EU until the end of October.
Here is what Article 2 says. It says the Decision (that we stay in the EU til the end of October) is cancelled if (1) we haven't ratified the withdrawal agreement AND (2) we don't hold EU elections.

And now, block 2-by-2 linear systems: a thread for a jet-lagged Sunday afternoon.
A block 2-by-2 linear system is a system involving a matrix that looks like

M = [A, B;
C, D]

where A and D are square matrices (though B and C may be rectangular).
Lots of things that don't look initially like they are block 2-by-2 linear systems can be turned into such systems. As a standard example: consider solving a linear system

(A+b c^T) x = f

If we introduce a new variable z = c^T x, we get a block 2-by-2 system in x and z.

Obama prepped the media for 2016 election by establishing the Global Engagament Center to combat Russian Propaganda. If we were worried about American Intel Agencies being weaponised, we should be quaking at new govt .org opened & funded to pay reporters to sway opinion.
Let’s see what GEC was designed to do👉 “The Global Engagement Center is charged with leading the U.S. government’s efforts to counter propaganda and disinformation from international terrorist organizations and foreign countries” borrowed your meme :) B/c I love it. #Sorry 🤩
The fact that ISIS and Russia are grouped under the same heading raises goosebumps. Why group a terrorist org with a Facebook media buy? Unless they’re connected some other way...like both are constructs you created & manage. Super fishy. Let’s cont.

Cú Chulainn is believed to be an incarnation of the god #Lugh, who is also his father! His mother is the mortal Deichtine, sister of Conchobar mac Nessa, the King of #Ulster who ruled from #NavanFort near #Armagh. #CúChulainn #Irishmyths #Irishlegends #FolkloreThursday
Born Sétanta, Cú Chulainn gained his name as a child, after killing Culann's fierce guard-dog in self-defence & offered to take its place until a replacement could be reared! Used a standing stone or by driving a sliotar down its throat with his hurley! #FolkloreThursday
Cathbad the druid announced one day that anyone who drew arms would have everlasting fame! So Cú Chulainn only 7 years old, asked for arms! But Cathbad grieved because he had not finished his prophecy-the warrior who took arms that day would have a short life! #FolkloreThursday

The Muslim Marine🕊
@MuslimMarine
On days like today not even 5 yrs of faithful & honorable active duty #Service in #USMC can convince some ppl of a Muslims loyalty to USA.1/
Ppl ask me why I enlisted in the #Marines in 1997 at the age of 19. I tell them b/c loyalty to my nation of residence is part of my faith./2
I served the US faithfully BECAUSE of my faith, not in spite of it. I had the full support of my father — a Muslim Imam & my family. /3
