Requiring long term immigrants to learn the language of the country they are moving to within three years doesn’t sound particularly racist?

Excellent question, it is the most bizarre omertà of all time in the UK

I think trying to hitch a whole range of political issues to climate change which really should be an apolitical science issue has been one of the great strategic errors of the left. It allows the right to dismiss the whole thing as a bunch of woke lefties when in fact all sides need to lower carbon

Another win for the good guys eh?

That man would say Goliath had legitimate sling concerns

Minor point but how can the Very Important number be lowest for the population as a whole, isn’t that mathematically impossible?

Can’t beat a well mown lawn though. You need to have a specific area for wilding

It goes away… from public consciousness

Is that the popular RPG game from 2014?

I agree. I put David Jason in the same category (someone will probably tell me he’s a communist now)

So how did we like get electricity or computers and… stuff?

Best post of the week

Nope it’s top priority is whatever is best for Putin

The point is Trump will make things way worse for these people too
