Unlike nearby Washington, it post-dates its namesake in the United States, being named during the American Revolutionary War by a local colliery owner to commemorate the British capture of the city. The village cricket field is named "Bunker Hill", after another famous battle in that war.
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.
It amused me that they named the cricket pitch after Bunker Hill.
Lucky Americans don't play the game.
Not so lucky are the French who on visiting London get to travel to Trafalgar square from the train station at Waterloo.

The UN has non business attacking Poland's production and use of coal while they sit silently and watch nearly uncontrolled coal use in China and India. It's asinine to punish well regulated and clean coal production and sit idly buy while other countries use coal with no controls.
How is the UN "punishing" Poland's coal production and use of coal, then? Are any UN sanctions currently in play to punish Poland's coal production? And if there were "UN sanctions"... you do know that "UN sanctions" aren't sanctions made by some UN government, right? UN sanctions would be sanctions made by the representatives of the sovereign, independent countries who make up the UN.
Not that there actually are any news saying that Poland is facing any sort of sanctions for using coal energy.
Wait. We can sanction Philly too?? Fuck yes. And LA, San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Detroit, Boston, Seattle, Portland.. am I forgetting any den of villainy here?
Can you imagine the gloriousness of taxing the very people who pollute the most? The libs would shit their pants when they see that tax bill.
That's the irony of Macron's taxes. He taxes the people who pollute the least into economic ruin to boost the economic gains for the people who pollute the most.

The UN is against self determination by nations, it increasingly wants to assume the decision making process for the world, telling everyone what's good for them. In South Africa, it's good to punish white farmers. In most of the Western world, you are obligated to take anyone we tell you to take into your country.
For me, this coal story is just another example of the UN subverting the independance and free will of nations globally.

He probably actually deserves the guillotine.
Urban centers are the worst polluters, they are dangerous to our world, we should be rid of them. By the logic of climate fuckery science legislation, anyone living in an urban area should be severely taxed for Climate Crimes
