The Japanese population is shrinking and we don't have enough young people. "Oh, I've a good idea! Let's strip Japanese nationality from all Japanese who have dual nationality and especially all those young, talented, bilingual, multicultural kids with only one Japanese parent!"

Did the wife predict his actions? I had to read paragraph two a few times but it seems she told the police what would happen hours before he even left the house....

Posted in: Global South key for G7 to counter Russia and China, despite challenges See in context
With China brokering an end to the war in Yemen world media needs to praise this instead of keeping quiet! If it bears fruit it will be brilliant for the region.
"The G7, which groups Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States, plus the European Union, must also face the reality that its global economic significance is declining....." The Brits are the main ones in decline. Joke having them in the G7 with all the shooting themselves in the foot that they have done in the last 5 years.

...so, in answer to your question, local, dedicated 'stalker protection squads' which increase surveillance and monitoring of stalking victims and suspects is the only thing I can think of.

Posted in: UK, Japan sign defense agreement allowing troop deployments See in context
What a load of balderdash! Pishi Sunak is an unelected PM rich boy who is totally out of touch with his own people. He'd meet anyone and sign anything that smells of positivity to take him away from sorting out the crisis in his collapsing kingdom. Another sightseeing journey for Kishida is all this is.

Lived in Echizen for a few years and can say that these knives are excellent. Was gifted one 22 years ago and it's still the best knife I have. Visited the 工場 there 3 years ago and it was great to see the production process.
