This bombastic style of reporting isn’t helpful. The ruling doesn’t “strip” protections, it clarifies that Scotland made a law based on an error in interpretation of an earlier law, ergo those protections never existed. It further points out that the Equalities Act confers protections on trans people regardless. The protections of the Scottish law were a mirage - insubstantial and not legal.

This is an opportunity to introduce the protections Scotland thought were in force, but actually.

I can see why people are dismayed, but this is procedural law, and a route to more iron-clad protections in the future.

Wow, what foresight they had to appease Trump 6 years before he was elected… This law was written in 2010. The ruling clarified that a more recent Scottish law which relied on this one did so by misinterpreting that law’s definition of women.

As to Chamberlain, at the time of the Munich agreement, the Luftwaffe had the most advanced air force in the world, while the RAF were only equipped with biplanes. Chamberlain bought time for the development and manufacture of armaments, significantly the Spitfire and Hurricane, and in the event it was just enough time, with losses in the Battle of Britain barely being outstripped by replacements. So yeah, turned out alright.

The Supreme Court doesn’t make the rules, it makes a determination on what the rules mean in context of the body of law. It’s not their fault that Parliament passed a badly worded law. It’s a positive step that the law has been clarified, and now the changes needed can be identified.

You’re unaware of the international criminal court then.

There were people held without trial at Guantanamo Bay concentration camp for 20 years, with the military acknowledging they were completely innocent when they were captured (some were children) but that they couldn’t be released in case they now hated America (for some reason idk).

Didn’t toddler Jesus smite the neighbour kid for annoying him while he was playing with plants or something?

Then again the yank soldiers all said the same after the massacres in Vietnam and they all got off.

Lead actors would be contracted centrally from LA, while day players and local recurring roles would be NY actors.

They’re basically talking about monies paid to NY contractors for construction, stages, crew, locations, catering, accommodation, equipment rental and materials.

When you are accepted into the production credit scheme you must keep an accounting of monies spent in that jurisdiction. That’s where this figure comes from, it doesn’t represent the total budget of the production which will spend elsewhere in LA and other places for post production- some of which is covered by other credit schemes in other locations, similarly accounted for.

It’s the whole premise of The Capture.
