29.07.2025 22:13 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I was a reviewer on this paper. It introduces some much needed clarity into primate pragmatics debates, and will become an important touchstone in future research.
28.07.2025 07:37 β π 14 π 4 π¬ 0 π 0Also, I'm sceptical that what you say is true. The last Tory governments spent a lot of time losing immigration court battles. If it was so easy to change the law, why didn't they just do that?
27.07.2025 20:42 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Really? I can't see Reform policies passing easily through the Lords.
27.07.2025 20:40 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0It does seem like a Tory/Reform coalition could do well, which would be horrible indeed. But it's hard to see a total disintegration of the rule of law, as is now happening in the USA.
27.07.2025 17:20 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I think that there's a good chance of a left wing Lib Dem/Greens/Labour coalition stepping up, but it's made much less likely by Starmer being so useless. I'm not sure what I think Corbyn's new party would add or subtract, but he's criminally stupid either way.

24.07.2025 13:48 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0Omg. She is unelectable though, and always has been. For the Tories to nominate her as leader was an act of altruistic self-sacrifice.
24.07.2025 13:29 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I don't think so. In cases like this, the people making the decisions are business people - albeit ones hired by academics. I suspect the issue is more that the academics defer to them too much, and don't feel confident to speak out when the business people misjudge.

Yes! I'll see you on Friday :)
20.07.2025 10:00 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I don't think the idea that nothing can change in the UK is as entrenched as you think. Maybe you're too young when Blair got in power, but it was a genuinely exciting time. If gloom persists now, it's substantially because Starmer is crap, but I don't think it's inevitable.

17.07.2025 10:51 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I don't know what you think this shows. The CWC was rightly boycotted in Europe because it's yet another cynical FIFA cash grab that endangers the welfare of already overworked players. I don't know of anyone here who watched a single game.
