British Politics
Been on holiday for a few weeks, surprised to find no general discussion of British politics so though I'd kick one off.
The last time a dukedom was taken away from a senior royal was in 1919, when Prince Charles Edward – one of Queen Victoria’s grandsons – lost the title of Duke of Albany for fighting on the German side during the First World War.

Islamic Fascism 1-0 Jews
This clown is so into his identity politics (Moozlims = bad) he pretends he doesn't know about things like this
I can hardly wait for the travelling fans in Birmingham to repeat their assaults on Muslim cab drivers and chants about dead Palestinian children.
Who are we kidding? This is just 3rd world zero sum sectarianism. Import the third world, become the third world. Britain is well on its way to becoming Lebanon at this point.
History is littered with examples of what happens to countries and empires when they debase their currency. As business costs increase they try and cut costs which leads to unemployment rising, it also leads to the need for a bigger state to try and deal with that unemployment. Families can no longer afford to have children/multiple children so the birth rate decreases and we get an ageing population which has many knock on effects on society.
Unfortunately you seem unwilling or unable to understand or engage honestly and I agree with another poster that placing you on ignore is the only option. You should have a look at what's happening in Venezuela right now (where they are jailing journalists for publishing economic data https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/...) or Zimbabwe in recent history. If you could print your way to prosperity they would be the richest nations on the planet. Sadly the opposite happens.
If I'd been faced with that kind of debt (I actually got a County Major Award including living costs) I don't think I'd have gone to university. Or if I did it would have been because I was too young to understand the consequences, which is what the system kind of counts on.
Students should certainly be considering what degree they do and why they are doing it, and not many do. However, if you know the answer to these two questions, going to university is ++++++EV. Occupations that depend on getting a degree, like science or medicine are hugely rewarding careers that are pretty well paid. I make far more money than I can be bothered to spend, and therefore the couple of hundred I have to pay on my student loan each month is largely irrelevant.
Those two fields are going to get absolutely slaughtered by AI over the next few decades. You better be a star if you want to make it.
I know anecdotally that what careers are safe to consider when doing A levels is a big topic at schools and it ain't pretty.
Which careers are careers advisors (if they haven't been replaced by AI themselves) recommending?
Tommy Robinson is now planning a rally in Birmingham to support Maccabi Tel Aviv on the day of the match, obviously hoping to incite more violence.
Starmer is a total idiot for falling inline with Israeli football hooligans.
His actions amount to evil but I think he might actually believe he's doing the right things after his handlers patiently explained their "reasoning" over and over to him until he "got it".

I completely agree. As an example, we have a reading week coming up and the department always looks for volunteers to put on workshops. Anyway, I had an idea but not the time to put the materials together (usually takes 1 day to plan and design the materials for a 1 hour session). I used AI and it took 30 mins to create all the slides and handouts. Needed a bit of editing, but no more than an hour.
So yes, in the short term you probably need to at least be a star incorporating AI into your science and teaching.
Also, our department had 25% call in sick last Monday. I hope the staff who call in every time they get a runny nose realise AI doesn't get ill.
Eh? He might be a poor politician, but it's a stretch to call him evil (i.e., Hanlon's Razor).

I was interested in the views of the youngsters. I know there was classroom discussion but i didn't ask what the teachers/careers advisors said.

Does it matter given that AI doesn't sleep or only work ~40 hrs a week etc. Or, even more, that once you have one you can two or 100 or a million of them ...
Met Police have now dropped the 'airport arrest' case against Graham Linehan and have misleadingly re-announced that they will no longer investigate NCHIs (non-crime hate incidents), even though you can't arrest for an NCHI and they have in fact switched to recording actual uninvestigated and non-existent 'crimes' against people's names without telling them, for supposed 'hate speech', on no evidence, with serious consequences for anyone whose employment depends on a DBS check. In this case they may face a suit for wrongful arrest, and they probably should.
This is all further fallout from the still idolised but actually disastrous Macpherson Report, which not only claimed that the Met's problem in the Stephen Lawrence case was 'racism' when everyone including the judge always knew it was corruption ('the Norris Factor', as it was frequently called in the inquiry's proceedings), but also set the catastrophic rule that a 'hate crime' has occurred and must be recorded and investigated just because any random complainant says so, even if there is no evidence of crime at all, creating a perfect equivalent to the practice of 'denunciation' in Stalin's Soviet Union.
Linehan's ongoing case at Marylebone Magistrates' Court, regarding a complaint of 'stalking' from a very strange young man who admitted on cross that he himself was not only stalking Linehan, but went as far as placing a dummy bomb under Linehan's car and sending him a photo of it, will resume on 29 October. I forget the details, but I think Linehan's counsel, the formidable Sarah Vine KC (not the Sarah Vine who used to be married to Michael Gove) has a couple more defence witnesses to call.
Macpherson found that the Mets were "institutionally racist", a description only cosseted Londoners would disagree with.
That they are also largely corrupt is no surprise to anyone either. I had the pleasure of telling two detective this about their colleagues a few decades ago, with examples, much to their annoyance though from their expressions neither disagreed.
so did daily starmer aka kid starver inform the israeli police that they're antiseptic for cancelling the maccabi/hapoel derby because their supports are insane psychopaths?

The problem is that Macpherson found no fault with the second investigation, which failed only because the corrupt detectives on the first investigation had basically got rid of the evidence. Had 'institutional racism' been the correct explanation, it would have applied equally to the second investigation. 'Institutional racism' (whatever that hand-wavey term actually means) may be a fact, but it wasn't the reason why the first investigation failed to produce a case. The real reason was corruption, as Macpherson perfectly well knew. He just wouldn't record that as a finding because there hadn't been any convictions on that account, so it wasn't a judicial fact in law, so he lazily defaulted to 'institutional racism', which didn't have to be proven.
Where we now know that Macpherson went disastrously wrong was in his asserting that 'a hate crime is a hate crime if any random person says so regardless of evidence,' a classic white-liberal nostrum which the police still have to abide by, setting up a Stalinist system of denunciation. It is one of the worst days' work a British judge ever did. The law cannot operate on subjective lines like that, and you'd think a judge would know better, but, in his desire to appear bien-pensant, he didn't.
On the Maccabi fans police ban described by the dreadful Lisa Nandy as being for the protection of Israeli fans, the police said
I like Starmer and I think he'd make an outstanding foreign secretary, but he's an awful PM. At this pace, Farage will get a Thatcher/Blair type landslide and Labour will be having the same existential crisis the Tories are having.
What is with you white British men always sexually molesting minority women, especially the upper middle class ones in business suits? Maybe it is a good thing you all are getting replaced, since it seems you are all pervs who cant seem to behave yourselves.
