40% of that figure is international students, who tend to be wealthy and live in student accommodation which wouldn’t house regular people anyways. They also tend to leave after they finish their studies. So that would leave us closely with the recommended number of building new houses. People should really find another excuse to blame immigrants or bother reading the details of the stats they use. (Also, ONS and other think tanks said that this number is not going to continue going forward.)

I like what Mike Lynch (famous leader of one of UKs biggest union) said during his Novara media interview… I’ll paraphrase from memory. “Back in the day, your retirement was secured with your job. You’d get a pension from your employer when you get to retirement age. Then Thatcher and Reagan happen… Now days, there’s no security, benefits or high salaries anymore. So people do whatever they need to do to secure their retirement. And if it’s buying another property, so be it.”

Quick edit: before anyone gets angry. Neither myself or him want this to continue. It’s shit and we should fight to bring back dignity to people’s careers. But until that’s sorted, I think it’s ethical to care for your own and your family’s survival.

Technically correct, but your comment makes it sound like the military is actively commissioning movies, which is not the case. When Hollywood wants to make historical or war movies, they have few options:

• Buy the equipment - one military ship or airplane can be more than the whole movie’s budget.
• Prop/CGI - may look bad and doesn’t guaranty to be cheaper.
• Get all the gear for free, loaned out from the military (including training and specialists) - but they get to edit and approve your script.

I wish there were more options for independent and critical movie makers.

One would think that there would be more than just one lawyer who says that… Oh well… :)

Actually the title was named after Caesar to mean emperor after his death. It was so influential that many languages use this word as well. Famous examples would be Tzar in Russian or Keiser in German.

You need the IELTS UKVI (general) test which is provided by the British Council specifically. It’s the same exam, but stricter facilities. The ‘normal’ test won’t be accepted by the Home Office.

Just because you disagree with a definition, doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

Every country is culturally diverse, but there’s still statistical common denominator. You have big differences in languages, accents, food, culture in the UK and yet 82% are white British. Same goes for Germany, Japan etc. Every country do their demographic analyses differently, but the point is that they all can have major differences within the same ethic group.

So we should either agree to use the same definition or agree that it has no meaning and not use that word at all.

He is opposed to a policy which has already been thoroughly consulted on.

Wrong, I’m afraid it wasn’t. national grid consultation

It seems like the pressure is working, because they agreed that the initial assessment wasn’t enough: “We are also consulting on the preliminary findings from our environmental studies and assessments as well as proposed mitigation for any potential impacts to the local environment, including animal habitats and the local landscape.”

In any case the local campaigners want more scrutiny and consultation from a third party. Which is their right if we like it or not.

What are you on about? This is not a policy by the greens, but one MP. Ramsay said ‘…110 miles of cabling using 50m high pylons will “destroy our historic landscapes and will require huge loss of trees”.’ An MP who cares about his constituence!? The horror!!

He suggested that they should do a thorough analysis and consultation before going forward. Maybe the silicon valley mantra of ‘move fast and break things’ shouldn’t be applied to our green future policies.

“Ethnostate - noun. a state that is dominated by members of a single ethnic group.” That exactly makes them an Ethnostate. Mandarin and Uyghur re-education camps is authoritarianism.

The 91% Han Chinese sense…

Don’t think I’ve seen a bigger oxymoron before… The definition of punk is being anti-authoritarian.

It’s like words don’t have meaning anymore…

He already has money. He needs power and influence for his father in-law business interests.

Isn’t lamb a baby sheep? Sounds redundant to use baby baby
