Just some stuff from Wikipedia... In 2023, Uruguay was categorized as being a "full democracy" in The Economist Democracy Index, and is highly ranked in international measurements of government transparency, economic freedom, social progress, income equality, per capita income, innovation, and infrastructure. The country has fully legalized cannabis (the first country in the world to do so), as well as same-sex marriage and abortion. It is a founding member of the United Nations, OAS, and Mercosur. The Reporters Without Borders worldwide press freedom index has ranked Uruguay as 19th of 180 reported countries in 2019. Freedom of speech and media are guaranteed by the constitution. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uruguay Meanwhile, here's Saudi Arabia from Wikipedia... Saudi Arabia is an absolute monarchy; however, according to the Basic Law of Saudi Arabia adopted by royal decree in 1992, the king must comply with Sharia (Islamic law) and the Quran, while the Quran and the Sunnah (the traditions of Muhammad) are declared to be the country's constitution. No political parties or national elections are permitted.While some critics consider it to be a totalitarian state, others regard it as lacking aspects of totalitarianism but nevertheless classify it as an authoritarian regime. The Economist ranked the Saudi government 150th out of 167 in its 2022 Democracy Index, and Freedom House gave it its lowest "Not Free" rating, giving it a score of 8 out of 100 for 2023. According to the 2023 V-Dem Democracy Indices, Saudi Arabia is the least democratic country in the Middle East. I think I can spot easily which is the better country.
That's the epitome of clutching at straws isn't it "In the UK, it's estimated that over 200,000 children may be living with lead poisoning, with a significant number of cases going undetected due to the lack of noticeable symptoms." "Prisons in England and Wales are facing a severe overcrowding crisis, with occupancy rates nearing their operational capacity." "In Newcastle, domestic violence statistics for 2022 show a concerning picture. Northumbria Police reported approximately 71 domestic abuse crimes occurred daily. "
I For all it is barely relevant, Uruguay has for decades been the outstanding success of South America. A small country which punched above it's weight economically and has a robust democracy. I thought everyone this.
I did. It's why I put that up in response to that thick magpie twat. Unusually for South America it's been a pretty stable democracy for most of it's history. There was a rough spell in the late 1960s and early 1970s due to some left wing/communist terrorists that resulted in an authoritarian Government, then a military coup and a military dictatorship that lasted until 1985. But even then, compared to Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Chile, who were all under military rule at the time, the Uruguayan dictatorship was relatively benign (though still brutal) and began a peaceful transition to democracy much earlier.
Fabrizio Romano has just tweeted the tragic news regarding Diogo Jota and the first comment is from a Mag bitching about the lack of reporting on Newcastle transfer news.
Not a surprise, when the Leicester owner died in that helicopter crash, you had mags asking why it couldn't have been Ashley. Self absorbed and pig ignorant about the rest of the world.
Not to defend them or anything but it was a Saudi bot account by the looks of it, they wouldn’t stoop that low
Newcastle not up front and centre of attention ? What’s her name will have it at PM’s questions next week
Yeah, I remember that, started singing through the minute silence. Though ITV were licking their arses and ignored it.
