Just to be clear, an English degree - learning to critically assess texts - is actually one of the most dangerous for people such as Badenoch.

An educated population, able to bring hundreds of years of context to statements in a dawning age of AI slop and attention-seeking dishonesty is also vital.

Can we now have Irish Times journalists seek out Gareth Sheridan, Conor McGregor, Dolores Cahill, etc, and give them time and space to call for new election as they werenโ€™t able to gather enough support either?

Or is it only Maria Steen that Irish Times needs to write about?

It is absolutely, 100%, a matter for the British government, but when you take your orders from the Israeli government on these matters you can see how he got confused

Hope to see him in front of the ICC one day, explaining why he supported murdering, starving, and terrorising civilians.
Ben Gvir is a genocidal racist. A liar and a hypocrite. But that seems to just be what is tolerated, for now, and even exalted in some places.

Pete Hegseth isnโ€™t describing military strategy, heโ€™s describing war crimes.

Calling for โ€˜untied handsโ€™ to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill without rules of engagement is a demand for lawlessness.

No professional military on earth would follow that path.๐Ÿ‘‡
