Re: Europe, the not boring thread
What's going on with this Bjorn.......... martial law in Denmark ? You got civil unrest ? or just a bad batch of kogt torsk ?
Starting Friday, armed soldiers from the Danish Armed Forces (Forsvaret) will replace police officers at both Denmark’s southern border to Germany and at potential terror targets in Copenhagen.
According to the Danish National Police (Rigspolitiet) and Copenhagen Police, 160 soldiers will patrol the border and take over guard duties at Jewish institutions including the Great Synagogue in central Copenhagen.
The synagogue has been under constant police protection since a Danish-born terrorist of Palestinian descent shot and killed 37-year-old Dan Uzan, a volunteer security guard, outside the building in February 2015. The gunman, Omar El-Hussein, had earlier in the night opened fire with an automatic rifle outside a cultural centre hosting a free speech event, killing 55-year-old Finn Nørgaard and injuring police officers. El-Hussein was later shot and killed by police.

Re: Europe, the not boring thread
No martial law. As it says at the end of the article and in some of the links in the article, the motivation is to ease the workload of the police, so they can focus more on crime prevention over guarding possible terrorist targets. To illustrate the issue, just follow the links in the article:C-Mag wrote:What's going on with this Bjorn.......... martial law in Denmark ? You got civil unrest ? or just a bad batch of kogt torsk ?

For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Neither Scotland or Northern Ireland have an economy strong enough to qualify for EU membership. NI may choose to reunite with Ireland, and I wouldn't blame them, Scotland are stuck with us for a while yet.Nukedog wrote:It will be in a couple referendums.

Isle of Man has governed itself with it's own parliament (Tynwald) since Viking times it has the longest continuously running Parliament in the world. Not part of the UK but a Crown Dependency.Nukedog wrote:Well I'm sure you'll always have isle of Mann, until your London mayor pisses them off with refugees at least.
