I watched this match and Barca were very good. They were camped in Roma's penalty box in the first half and really should have scored more. And this Roma team is solid, they've played some really nice football this season and last. And they were much better in the second half of this match.

So he approves the Willow project on the 12th of March then makes this memorandum on the 13th of March, which includes the exception “Nothing in this withdrawal affects rights under existing leases in the withdrawn areas.” Please someone correct me if I’m wrong in interpreting that as the Willow project is still green lit bc the lease was formally approved the day before!?

If it makes you feel any better, the 5-year survival rate for all cancers combined has increased from 50% to 67% in the last 50 years, and there has been significant improvement in every single cancer category (except uterine cancer) which implies that the improved treatments have not been restricted to only a few rich people, but that therapeutic improvements have been more widespread.

Pretty ignorant take. India's birthrate was high in the 1900s which makes sense since the whole country was primarily an agrarian society which was also heavily exploited and in extreme poverty. Their birthrate right now is infact slightly below replacement level, which is the optimal rate for economic growth considering their young population.

The only long term contributer left to world population growth is sub-saharan Africa. Every other continent is staying primarily the same, or even expected to fall, in population by 2100

They're not facing the same level of difficulty in getting education.

As for why prioritizing girls' education is good in the poor/rural communities of developing countries:

In the UK the decision to prosecute is made by the CPS (Crown Prosecution Service) who are themselves barristers/solicitors on the government payroll - however they do not prosecute the case in court.

The CPS keep a list of approved barristers for criminal cases who they can basically sub-contract the work out to, to actually prosecute the case in court on behalf of the crown.

The cab rank rule basically means those on the approved list arent allowed to pick and choose, the CPS assigns cases to the next in line and they are expected to accept the work irrelevant of the case. Its technically meant to work the same for people looking for a legal professional to defend them, they shouldn't be turned away based on the case, but in actuality its usually fairly easy to find a 'conflict' or a 'diary overlap' if you really don't want to do it.

Its also worth noting a bunch of the people who signed this declaration are not actually barristers on the CPS's approved list - so they couldn't prosecute these cases on behalf of the crown even if they wanted to, its just virtue signalling.
