I wouldn’t let the US use UK bases to attack countries in the Middle East. I would have worked on decolonising the whole Europe from the US for the past 20 years, not two days. But then again, I have a long view not a short and myopic one like most politicians.

Missing the point. I’m not in the US and what the UK government does affects me.

Allowing the US to operate from UK bases endangers UK personnel. πŸ™„

Iran executes Khamenei’s plan to spread regional war Strikes on energy facilities and targets across Middle East form strategy devised to sow chaos in retaliation for US and Israeli attack

β€œFemale healthy life expectancy falls 3 years…The shocking fall of three years for women and two years for men, in just three years, reveals the cumulative impact of the Tory/Liberal Democrat austerity programme and the gross mismanagement of the pandemic.”

you're also falling for the fascist narratives. You're really stupid. Universities are already bust and being let to fail. Don't complain when the infrastructure fails. Start looking into the mirror.

WTF?? I have zero responsibiliy. How dare you? You're blaming all sociologists and anthropologists?? You're thick! 1. Academics are not the Police or Social Services, they don't start investigating a random community to find out dirt 2. Academics don't belong to the same organisation

you don't understand. Academics are not investigators, they're not the police. Blaming academia is lame and serves a pretty fascist agenda. Blame journalists, blame politicians, blame the Police and social services. Stop being a stooge to fascists.

Wrong. I’m not prejudiced at all. I simply don’t take ideology seriously. The piece you shared first was just an ideological piece so it cannot be taken seriously. Attacking academia for the failings of public authorities is ideology and shows little understanding of academia & funding.

My cultural awakening: Leonardo da Vinci made me rethink surgery – I’ve since mended more than 3,000 hearts For one heart surgeon, seeing the Renaissance artist’s anatomical drawings gave him a natural understanding of the body that was often overlooked in modern medical science

Not really a 'cultural' awakening, more a scientific one.

The Labour Party in Wales wanted and got the d’Hondt system 🀦 which is not really proportional. They wanted it to ensure they’d be in power as they don’t belie in democracy. Well… stay tuned for May elections 😁

These people think that the world is for them to plunder. They're kings oppressing the little people.
