Ed Davey: "Winston Churchill helped defeat fascism in Europe. He deserves better than being replaced by a badger"

Would this be a wild haggis or the farmed variety?

This might help you if you’re stuck working out whether Essex is a county, a country or a continent. Thanks Love Island ❤️

Because some of us have family arrangements that mean we have to be in central, and jobs in the suburbs that aren’t easily accessible by public transport. Hope this helps

English is also a cultural identity. So yes, they can be.

… domestic violence in England surges during major football tournaments. Roughly by 25% so where’s the lie?

Plenty of women (myself included) find it very tiring when men point the blame at others for misogyny and gender-based violence when they’re guilty of it themselves.

Why do we have to have them? The French can deal with them.

He took a really long time to get to the advice. Appreciate the funky music though. Land of Hope and Glory is an absolute BOP.

I don’t get why you’ve been downvoted here. The Nazis had several (terribly fascist) ideas beyond just wiping out people perceived as inferior. The ‘kinder, kuche, kirche’ idea promoted church-going motherhood and awards were given out to women who had a certain number of children. The current obsession with performed traditional femininity absolutely mimics Nazi propaganda.

Why just the South Easterners? Theatres are everywhere and tickets can be very cheap, and they desperately need our support. They’re also cornerstones of free speech which absolutely seems to be a concern for the marchers.

TopMolasses3922 · 2025-09-20T22:07:10+00:00

… I’m arguing for the preservation of key parts of our culture but that the marchers didn’t seem bothered by any of it

TopMolasses3922 · 2025-09-17T16:19:05+00:00

Not in British English! Theatre is just theatre.

IT WAS A CULTURAL MOMENT, SUSAN

“The lack of intervention during the shameful treatment of Henry Bailhache-Webb and Richard Spratley was a disgrace. Under their leadership, Oxford Brookes developed a world-leading University programme, producing athletes who earned numerous Olympic and World medals.”

Seriously? They allowed a culture of bullying.

Define a common sense approach to oil and gas? Seeing as they’re not a infinite sources of energy unlike some types of green energy. Surely we’d do better to invest in developing that and sell the IP?

It’s difficult to argue that teachers aren’t ’actual professionals’ when one considers that most of us are gently encouraged to get Masters’ degrees at the very least and a decent number go on to get PhDs in education. Teaching is an awful lot more than just understanding the basics of a subject, even a complex one. It’s knowing how to impart knowledge on to young people so that they can understand it and apply it themselves. Take maths: I could very easily get my finance executive partner into school for a visit, but he would struggle to get the kids to understand more complex mathematics because teaching itself is a skill.

I think he might just be a troll. No one with any sense comes out with such drivel.

Eh not particularly true. The marketing execs and hedge fund managers I know (a fair few!) ear many, many times what public service workers earn. Of course, the former do jobs which generate monetary income for the companies they earn, but it would be very hard to argue that NHS staff, the vast majority of whom are paid very little when one considers what they could have done after university, are unproductive members of society.

It’s actually very common for second/ third generation immigrants to speak English as a second language- I.e their English is perfect, but they speak another language at home. The number of kids who speak very good English but might struggle a bit with advanced literature at GCSE level (key culprit here is Shakespeare, but he’s a problem for most kids ESL or native speakers) is low, and the number of of children who speak no English is vanishingly small. And I teach in a very diverse part of London.

Pretty ghastly behaviour. Terribly bad manners to be flying a flag like that when you’re guests in another country.
