Looks like Trump isn't a Russian spy after all! Nobody could have seen this coming.

EU Copyright Directive just passed 348 to 274. MEPs also rejected voting on amendments, which could have meant killing off Article 11 & 13. All depends now on how member states will choose to implement it in practice...

LOL!

Quote
The EU’s internet-killing new Copyright Directive has become mired in a fresh layer of controversy after it emerged that multiple MEPs were “tricked” into voting the wrong way on it. Guido understands that an extra vote was inserted into the voting list at the last minute which threw most MEPs’ voting lists out of sync. Unlike the Commons where MPs have to physically make the decision to walk through lobbies, MEPs just robotically press buttons according to a long voting list handed out to them.

At least 13 MEPs have told the European Parliament they accidentally voted the wrong way. Now the EU has modified their individual voting records but has refused to revisit the result of the vote, despite the fact there was a majority of just 5 MEPs. The EU also rejected a direct request from MEPs to stage the entire vote again.

Yeah, you know, I don't think a British person has the right to claim some sort of moral high ground in anything related to parliaments right now.

Yeah didn't you hear? Your country is struggling to do something properly, so you're banned from making any observation on other's systems until your record is sparkling.
Did you know that if you use 100% of your brain, you get godlike powers? true story.
Did you know that if you use 10% of received donations, you can release BCoF by now. true story

One of the best side blockers in the game. Often reffered as 'the Sideblock King'.

Wow another request for extension how surprising.

Gotta love how May's actual plan is to just ask parliament to accept her deal over and over again until they finally do.
