There was a large campaign at the time to suggest anti-zionist was the same as anti-semetic.

You seem to be speaking as if genocide is the goal of every war. It’s really not, and in fact it’s against international law which most countries stick to.

Genocide is quite rare through history because generally once you have complete dominion over a people you stop and start to rebuild. In the Iraq war (which was quite an extreme war with quite a lot of rule breaking) they allowed the people to eat, they allowed aid trucks free access, there were even British hospitals that treated Iraqis. Most importantly they took measures to reduce civilian casualties, like avoiding conflict in populated areas.

This ‘war’ is not following any of those rules. The people are not allowed to leave, aid providers are being directly targeted, any supply of medical equipment is prevented from access.

Anyone at this point sitting on the fence going “Well both sides are in the wrong” is either misinformed or evil.

It sounds from that article that there were two women who applied having already had connections to crime and there’s a suggestion it may not have been their decision, and then seperately 27 people in total in the last 4 years were suspended for security reasons.

This makes the article suuuper misleading.

Nobody really does physical banking any more so the banks are closing their physical branches. There’s a lot of backlash because a few people can’t use online banking, it’s difficult because the numbers are small and it’s hard to justify staffing a full building when 5 customers turn up each day.

It’s not brexit related.

Possibly, but it’s also what Russia call the country in order to describe it as a region of Russia rather than a country and Ukraine finds it offensive, the Ukrainian embassies have requested it not be used.

Combined with this person referring to the parts of Ukraine currently under occupation I suspect they’re using the offensive form on purpose.

It’s just Ukraine, no ‘the’. Was that a Russian annexation joke?

Madagascar is bigger that it looks

What a great surprise. Couldn’t have been predicted at all.

I have wondered about the impact of all these massive cars. It’s interesting that they impact both traffic and energy, although obvious if you think about it.

I mean, can you get hard numbers on bullying? It’s not a black and white situation. If someone feels that they’re being bullied then they are. The American study shows that pupils feel that there’s less bullying. If you want to design your own study then you can, but I’m not sure how.

This is a recent British study focussing on bullying. Teachers, parents and children themselves see the differences.

This is an American study that focusses on the students and parents and reaches similar conclusions.

So it’s against your constitution but also done in many places? That makes no sense at all. It doesn’t appear to be against the constitution at all. Can you point out where it bans school uniforms? Or indeed uniforms in general which are pretty common.

There are definitely school uniforms in Germany.

I mean… that’s not a right. Are you very young perhaps? It can seem difficult as a kid to deal with but as an adult it’s easier to see the benefits. There’s a lot of studies on the improvements made by lessening the differences between the kids.

Uniforms do equalise kids. As a former teacher, I’m pro uniform.

I was on board until I heard it was the far right, those guys and uniforms have a bad history.

They’re being pretty clear (and not wrong) that immigration isn’t adding more people. It’s keeping the same amount of people.

You seem very confused, private companies are always fining you. Parking companies are private companies, many public transport companies are private companies. The oversight is provided by the court. This has been the case before Brexit was even a consideration.

You understand that’s different right? If you’ve broken the rules then they’ve got a right to send you a fine.

Wholesale selling of personal information is not what’s happening here.

There’s no country in the world where you can skip tolls, travel tickets, entrance fees, and face no consequences.

It’s not law enforcement, it’s a civil issue, it’s quite normal for companies to take civil issues, they obtained information on people who broke rules by requesting it, and recieving it, that’s not illegal on their behalf.
