    I think you generally have to win to be able to decide what is just, so, I dunno, if you manage to overthrow whatever construct you are opposed to? Trying to rationlise the right to not be beholden to the laws of any given land just sounds a bit sovereign citizen to me, which I think we generally deride in most contexts.

    Also, from a semantic point of view, which is what the devil's advocate question was about, I don't think individuals or even non-state actors can actually declare war on something in the international law sense of that term.

    Killing = bad.
    Killing bad people = good.

    Seems legit.

    It doesn’t if you’re the aggressor, it does if you’re the other side.

    Now just to carry on the analogy, wasn’t the CEO’s company the aggressor in that they’ve freely admitted denying claims for spurious reasons. These actions have resulted in unnecessary deaths.

    So by acting on behalf of those that have unnecessarily died as a result of UnitedHealth’s actions, Mangione isn’t the aggressor. The fact he used a gun as his weapon of choice shouldn’t be a factor.

    When it's warranted, yes. The man I secured possession against today has spent the last 3 months hosting all night parties for his druggy friends while his neighbours call the police on a nightly basis.

    However, my actual job is sustaining tenancies and trying to prevent evictions by addressing problem behaviour. What a monster.

    I'm sure I would agree with most of your decisions, but it wouldn't be a massive stretch for somebody else to see you as part of the problem and/or a wider societal problem.

    That's a big one.

    Very few true originals exist in the world of art (or life in general, I suppose) so it's always a blow when one of them is no longer around.

    Not sure I'd have said he was dead, but I also wouldn't have thought he was 84.

    Think I would have gone with the former in an either or question.

    I think I'm more shocked by the fact he was 77.

    I used to love that show and then it got to a point where Jimmy Hill was deteriorating in front of my eyes and it got very sad. Was like watching Granddad get his driving license taken away.

    Strangely an eternal legend of the Surrey cricket league, after he was inexplicably booked as the guest speaker at the Oval end of season awards one year (usually it's an ex cricketer of some sort). He completely misunderstood the brief, started telling earnest stories of his youth in Ireland, was heckled by the hundreds of bored guests, then ended up being booed off stage and stormed out of the Oval in a drunken rage, swearing and gesticulating at all those who had come expecting gags.

    For the next 20 years every guest speaker has been introduced '...but sadly Henry Kelly wasn't available, so we had to settle for Dominic Cork' or whatever. As such Henry, despite being a piece of shit, will live on in my heart.

    The theme tune for Going For Gold was composed by Hans Zimmer, who went on to become a hugely successful film and TV composer.

    Michelle Trachtenberg had already had a liver transplant and it seems like she had been nonced in the industry so sadly an early death had been on the cards for a while.

    The 'entertainment' industry.

    Whilst Paul Gadd and Alec Baldwin still live. If you're not an asshole and a vulnerable character, you'll probably die early. So sad.
