Good point. I am aware that Derry is the official name sometimes, I think maybe for the city whilst Londonderry is the county. Though that can't be right coz the road signs all indicate Londonderry.If they refer to it by anything other than City of Derry Airport they are wrong.
Yeah, I believe the legal name for both city and county is Londonderry (not that I ever heard it referred to that growing up), though the local council decided to call themselves Derry city council or something like that a few years backGood point.

@Purple are you sure that they refer to it as City of Derry Londonderry Airport?
I suppose then Ryanair are like saying we are now coming into Heathrow London airport.Yeah, I believe the legal name for both city and county is Londonderry (not that I ever heard it referred to that growing up), though the local council decided to call themselves Derry city council or something like that a few years back
The company that own the airport of course can call that whatever they like.
I think the full sentence is "Welcome to City of Derry, Londonderry, please don't shoot me, airport".If they refer to it by anything other than City of Derry Airport they are wrong.
Given the UK's recent record in Iraq and Afghanistan, I would say the Unionists are perfectly happy being ruled by killers of foreign children, just not by killers of British children.A [broken link removed]found that;
That figure will rise when the Shinners get into power as Unionists won't want to be ruled by child killers and middle class Nationalists won't want to pay their crazy taxes.
- Regarding constitutional preference, 58.6% of respondents support remaining in the UK compared to 29.8% who would vote tomorrow for a United Ireland (Table 4).
- When removing those who do not know or who would not vote in a border poll, the share who wish to remain in the UK rises to 66.2%.
- The highest share of support for remaining in the UK sits among those aged 60+ (74.6%)
As far as I know (but I'm well open to correction on this) it's the other way around. The legal (per UK law) names are Londonderry for the city and Derry for the County.Yeah, I believe the legal name for both city and county is Londonderry (not that I ever heard it referred to that growing up), though the local council decided to call themselves Derry city council or something like that a few years back

That's about right. Nothing spreads democracy and makes people respect you and your values like blowing the legs off children.Given the UK's recent record in Iraq and Afghanistan, I would say the Unionists are perfectly happy being ruled by killers of foreign children, just not by killers of British children.
It got Henry Kissinger the Nobel Peace Prize.That's about right. Nothing spreads democracy and makes people respect you and your values like blowing the legs off children.
Which law is this?As far as I know (but I'm well open to correction on this) it's the other way around. The legal (per UK law) names are Londonderry for the city and Derry for the County.
The UK law, since Northern Ireland is part of the UK.Which law is this?
Any specific Act or legal ruling? Or do you mean it's the official name, as opposed to 'legal' name.The UK law, since Northern Ireland is part of the UK.
I see Newton Emerson covers this in today's IT.A [broken link removed]found that;

AFAIK, that would be the Royal Charter that originally granted the name way, waaaaay back. That's why a petition to the sovereign is required to change it.Which law is this?
Logically, therefore, the Allies in WW2 should have scrupulously refrained from ANY action where there was an appreciable risk of blowing the legs off children. Except, that would have lengthened the war, probably increasing the overall death toll, not to mention delaying the liberation of the death camps and resulting in even more children ultimately being killed.That's about right. Nothing spreads democracy and makes people respect you and your values like blowing the legs off children.
The best framework I've seen for understanding this is wrapped up in the concept of the crime of Aggression and this description by the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg.Logically, therefore, the Allies in WW2 should have scrupulously refrained from ANY action where there was an appreciable risk of blowing the legs off children.

Ethics is such a messy subject, rarely black or white.
War is essentially an evil thing. Its consequences are not confined to the belligerent states alone, but affect the whole world. To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.
Yea, we know why the Second World war started. Why did Afghanistan start again?

T'is indeed.Ethics is such a messy subject, rarely black or white.
For that to be a relevant question, you have to posit that the reason for starting a war is determinative, at least in part, of whether or not it's ok to blow the legs off children while engaging in that war!Yea, we know why the Second World war started.

That's all well and good, but it doesn't address the question as to whether it's ok to blow childrens' legs off if you're responding to an act of Aggressive War waged against you.The best framework I've seen for understanding this is wrapped up in the concept of the crime of Aggression and this description by the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg.
I think as long as the children don't look like us, preferably if they are black or brown and not Christian. If they are dark skinned and Muslim they are fair game for just about anything. Those seem to be the rules.For that to be a relevant question, you have to posit that the reason for starting a war is determinative, at least in part, of whether or not it's ok to blow the legs off children while engaging in that war!
Which is a rather tricky little proposition.
