4chan has always been transparently cooperative with law enforcement whenever they ask. They don't demand subpoenas or are obstructive - I imagine 4chan has good relations with various agencies. 8chan is another beast and I'd imag

One recent test that was sometimes failing was ordering a list. It was due to how I made a sequence of my fixtures using numbers as a affix to a string so it was ordering correctly unless e.g. "string 8, string 9, string 10". I fi

I'd say they were (Blairite) New Labour which is slightly left than the Lib Dems. The newer Corbynite Labour supporters don't like the Guardian because the newspaper has negative coverage of their figurehead from time to time.
