I'm a wee bit drunk, so I'll answer something, but I just wanted to point out a statistics I read recently: the US subsidy for military supermarket is bigger than the whole budget of the Hungarian army.

I guess if you count in corruption then it's even smaller.

Quote
The Serbian Progressive Party led by Aleksandar Vucic won an outright parliamentary majority in a general election on a pledge to fight graft, fix the economy and join the European Union by 2020.

Vucic’s party, which forced the ballot two years earlier than scheduled, won 48.8 percent, more than polls predicted, for 157 of the chamber’s 250 seats, Serbia’s independent election monitor said today. Prime Minister Ivica Dacic’s Socialist Party received 14 percent, for 45 seats, said Marko Blagojevic, director of monitor the Centre for Free Elections and Democracy, citing preliminary results.

Vucic, who was once an ally of late Balkan strongman Slobodan Milosevic, pledged to embrace painful austerity measures endorsed by the International Monetary Fund and make Serbia the third former Yugoslav republic to join the EU two decades after the bloody Balkan civil wars. He said he will “extend a hand” to other parties before forming a new government by May 1.

You can only have a functioning democracy if everyone in the country can get together in the same room at the same time. Maybe one day I'll visit the Repubblica di Venezia...

I only heard that they were having the referendum last night. I have marched alongside Venetian nationalists in Edinburgh twice and my abiding memory is that they always had the most magnificent flags.

So the European Green Party made an app to create your own campaign poster using their slogans (They look like this). And when selecting your nationality, you can choose Scottish or Catalan, which I think is pretty cool. Not Flemish for some reasons though.

So has anyone posted about the whole "UK is blocking access to Ukrainian websites" thing, or know what's up with that?

If you're in the UK, can you visit http://tsn.ua/ or something, and confirm it is/isn't blocked?

It doesn't load for me (USA).

Also the "down for everyone or just me" page can't load it either, though I dunno where it's hosted.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.
