U.K.'s Lord Kilclooney Called Out for Calling Kamala Harris 'the Indian'
He isn't wrong you know, although he's not too smart about our constitutional system. If the "Indian" become president, she'll appoint a new vice president who'll be confirmed by a majority vote in both the House and Senate.

At NYT, "British Peer Criticized for Calling Kamala Harris ‘the Indian’."
Lord Kilclooney, a member of the British House of Lords who previously called an Irish politician a "typical Indian," is defending a tweet referring to Vice President-elect Kamala Harris as "the Indian." He said he hadn't known her name when he wrote it. https://t.co/rlF4RO0nsJ

I understand from the media that Speaker Fowler has criticised my tweet about the USA Presidency without having the courtesy of speaking to me beforehand. He is misinformed but I am not surprised!

Riots in Belfast
Also at Guardian UK, "Police chief condemns Belfast loyalists after violence leaves 56 officers injured."
And I confess this video's pretty cool. That cop gets f-ked up at about 30 seconds.
