Mit der jüngsten Legalisierung von Hanf in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika kann man sich die Frage stellen, warum er überhaupt illegal war. Da es sich um eine nicht psychoaktive Form von Cannabis handelte, war seine Verwendung ausschließlich industriell. Man muss kein Libertärer sein, um zu erkennen, dass das Verbot von Hanf zu den absurdesten und sinnlosesten Gesetzen gehört, die unsere Regierung im zwanzigsten Jahrhundert verabschiedet hat.

Theresa May ‘could be kicked out on Wednesday’ if she loses Commons vote on Brexit deal

This partial government shutdown is not saving money – it’s costing us billions and hurting innocent American families in the process.

Jeremy Corbyn sets sights on Downing Street ahead of Brexit vote
Mr Corbyn was pressed repeatedly on the BBC‘s Andrew Marr Show to name a date for when he would table a no confidence vote but refused to.

I remember back in 2016 colleagues on the Left lecturing me about how a Leave vote would lead to a resurgent Tory party.

Der AfD-Vorsitzende Alexander Gauland hat seine Partei vor Forderungen nach einem deutschen EU-Austritt gewarnt. „Wer auch immer mit dem Gedanken eines Dexit spielt, muss sich fragen lassen, ist das nicht eine Utopie und sollten wir nicht realistisch sein“, sagte Gauland am Sonntag vor den rund 500 Delegierten des Parteitags in Riesa.
DAVID STARKEY: Bercow and Grieve think they are political giants, but they represent all that‘s rotten in this parliament of pygmies
And there is only one possible name for this one. It has to be the Parliament of Pygmies, presided over as it is by the pygmy-in-chief, Speaker John Bercow, who, early in his period of office, was denounced by one infuriated Minister as a ‘sanctimonious, stupid dwarf’.
Ordinarily all this would be no more than matter for wry amusement. But the times are anything but ordinary. So strange are they, in fact, that the pygmies think they are giants and ape the gestures of the parliamentary greats of the past.
Revealed: Dominic Grieve secretly met John Bercow just HOURS before Speaker allowed his killer amendment as No 10 warns PM could be gone by WEDNESDAY
Commons Speaker John Bercow secretly met Tory rebel Dominic Grieve just hours before throwing out centuries of tradition to allow the MP to scupper Theresa May’s Brexit plans.
The pair spoke in Mr Bercow’s grace-and-favour Commons apartment the day before the Speaker tore up the rule book to allow the former Attorney General to table an amendment to wrest control of Brexit from the Prime Minister, The Mail on Sunday can reveal
John Bercow hurled insults at aides and binned their advice over anti-Brexit bias
SPEAKER John Bercow hurled insults at aides and binned their advice when they tried to warn against anti-Brexit bias, it was claimed yesterday.
He allegedly bawled them down and declared: “I’m not interested in what a gaggle of clerks has to say.”
The astonishing clash came two hours before he ripped up the Commons rule book to allow rebel MPs the chance to frustrate Britain’s exit from the EU.
Sky Views: We may yet be glad John Bercow is still Speaker
But if you think the only thing that matters is that a majority voted to leave the EU in the referendum, then you are likely to think Mr Bercow is a dishonest and biased scoundrel who has broken the rules in his determination to stop Brexit.
It is possible to take a different view of the Speaker‘s behaviour. For a start it is entirely consistent with the way that he has done the job over the past 10 years – when a majority of MPs have repeatedly chosen to keep him in the chair.
NO WAY, MAY: Theresa May’s hated Brexit deal could be defeated by 150 votes as her own MPs defy her

Brexit news latest: Dominic Raab urges MPs to ‚send a message‘ and vote down Theresa May‘s deal
Former Brexit secretary Dominic Raab has called for MPs to vote down Theresa May’s deal when it goes before the Commons on Tuesday.
Mr Raab, who resigned from the Cabinet in November in protest against Mrs May’s deal, said “Britain can do better” than her Withdrawal Agreement, which he said would “keep us locked into EU laws”.

‘The gilets jaunes are unstoppable’: Christophe Guilluy on the cultural divide driving the yellow vests.
„One illustration of this cultural divide is that most modern, progressive social movements and protests are quickly endorsed by celebrities, actors, the media and the intellectuals. But none of them approve of the gilets jaunes. Their emergence has caused a kind of psychological shock to the cultural establishment. It is exactly the same shock that the British elites experienced with the Brexit vote and that they are still experiencing now, three years later.“
