UK Minister Rishi Sunak apologised to LGBT people who were prevented from serving in the country’s military, as a damning review found a decades-long ban had left “a stain on the illustrious history of the UK’s armed forces.”

Speaking in the House of Commons as a state-ordered review of the impact of the 1967-2000 ban was published, Sunak criticised “an appalling failure on the British state, decades behind the law of this land.”

At least 180 senior fighter pilots, elite commandos, and cyber-intelligence specialists in the Israeli military reserve have informed their leaders that they will stop reporting for duty if the government proceeds with its controversial judicial overhaul. While a dozen reservists have already resigned, hundreds more have discussed the possibility. Military leaders fear that this would significantly impact the capacity of the Israeli armed forces.

Late birthday gift arrived today & so I’m by & the Attractions.

This is the repressing by & I’m just done comparing it with a UK OG. There are audible differences between the two - the UK is punkier with more punch, but the has better definition with hidden detail rising to the surface: the backing vocals & piano coming to the fore.
