• OT: Key differences between the UK and US governments

    From Dan Koren@21:1/5 to All on Fri Oct 21 09:00:26 2022
    In the US, canine and feline
    government staff move in
    and out with the presidents.

    In the UK, canine and feline
    government staff are tenured! ;-)

    #10, Downing Street is now being advertised as an Air B'n'B'. Ideal for
    short stays.

    Does the recent British P.M.'s short tenure imply that leaders of non-democratic countries (e.g., China, Russia) have a better chance of staying in power?
