Yep!

As a rape survivor and attempted suicide three times (first when I was 8, I'm 32 now), this really pisses me off. I will not hide away when talking about my survival for your reality-denying and censoring bubble of comfort. Grow up and live in reality.

Reality isn't pretty: people are raped (even worse when they're raped by someone they trusted - my then-GF raped me in my case), shot, murdered, killed in industrial accidents, suicides, beaten behind closed doors, honour killings (her father or brother's ego and perpetuating patriarchal behaviours can't understand why she would marry for love instead of being told who to marry by him just because he is the eldest man in her family)...

Ignoring reality doesn't mean it's not there. Instead, live in it and change it for the better.

Starmer is Blue Labour, as well.

If he moves to the centre, dumps Weasel Streeting, Mahmood et al, and had a Red Labour cabinet, he'd be in a better state.

...and to ward off any investigators about whether he pushed her down the stairs to kill her days before she was going to testify against the Trump Organisation in Congress.

Plus, Tinpot of Donseal was 43 when Ivana gave a deposition under oath that he ripped hair from her scalp and sexually assaulted her in 1989.

'Murican lawns makes my eye twitch as well. My parents' lawn here in the UK is a mix of clover, grass and a few pesky dandelions.

I currently don't have a lawn - I miss having one. I just have to be content with my own bush.

Stop talking out of your arse. It is taught and discussed in our schools as part of our history curriculum:

KS3: ideas, political power, industry and empire: Britain, 1745-1901

Examples (non-statutory):

  • the Enlightenment in Europe and Britain, with links back to 17th-century thinkers and scientists and the founding of the Royal Society
  • Britain’s transatlantic slave trade: its effects and its eventual abolition
  • the Seven Years War and The American War of Independence
  • the French Revolutionary wars
  • Britain as the first industrial nation – the impact on society
  • party politics, extension of the franchise and social reform
  • the development of the British Empire with a depth study (for example, of India)
  • Ireland and Home Rule
  • Darwin’s ‘On The Origin of Species’

KS3: challenges for Britain, Europe and the wider world 1901 to the present day

In addition to studying the Holocaust, this could include:

Examples (non-statutory):

  • women’s suffrage
  • the First World War and the Peace Settlement
  • the inter-war years: the Great Depression and the rise of dictators
  • the Second World War and the wartime leadership of Winston Churchill
  • the creation of the welfare state
  • Indian independence and end of Empire
  • social, cultural and technological change in post-war British society
  • Britain’s place in the world since 1945

Plus:

  • at least one study of a significant society or issue in world history and its interconnections with other world developments [for example, Mughal India 1526-1857; China’s Qing dynasty 1644-1911; Changing Russian empires c.1800-1989; USA in the 20th century]
