  1. Is that the same Jonathan Gullis who blames Labour for blocking the Rwanda Bill, when the Conservatives have a majority in both the HoC and HoL - and when, in fact, he abstained from voting for it ?

    Russia

    Russian air defences in the Crimea appear to have shot down another of their own SU-27s.
  3. The etymological irony that Thames Water might become insolvent.
  4. Excluding the pandemic, 2023 showed the weakest GDP growth in the UK since the 2009 banking crisis.
  5. It would be interesting if he tried - even Tricky Dicky Nixon was persuaded that he couldn't pardon himself.
  6. The President cannot issue pardons for State convictions, only Federal.
  7. Is that the ones to Rwanda, or those coming the other way ? TBF, they have started a social media campaign in Vietnam to try to deter immigrants from there.
  8. In that case Weston's comment about institutional racism would seem to be accurate, and as such, surely, they are open to discrimination law suits. I would hope that, by now, Universities operated a "colour blind"' approach to making offers, much as is supposed to happen with employment law, and that therefore, as you have mentioned, other factors must be in play. However it falls, 'positive' assistance towards a particular group is implicitly discriminatory against, and is a disincentive for, others.
  9. Other than you, does anybody else on here give a fuck ?
  10. "'The value of investments can go down as well as up."
  11. Genuine question; there is an MA course at the Open University for which the fees are £7000. However, if you are a "person of black heritage' there are bursaries available to defray the cost. Is this, in effect, racist ?
  12. Another minor Brexit benefit, or just people being thick ? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-68658209
