And news just in Shemima Begum has lost her appeal and thus her UK citizenship was legally revoked. The schoolgirl who travelled to join the Islamic State is deemed to be a national security risk. It is likely that she will appeal the decision up to the UK Supreme Court. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/shamima-begum-citizenship-appeal-7jmqmk0vd
You are correct in that our ‘leaders’ rule from places of fear many times, catering to the extremist that will do them harm. I do feel that most of them have some sort of skeleton in their closet as well and many are blackmailed to vote a certain way. Doesn’t say much for present day government-but there seems to be very few that are uncompromised
I guess I never realized that most farmers are men. In times long ago that would make sense merely by the difference in strength in men and women but with today’s machinery not so much. However the stories of the Land Girls was pretty awesome. Some of the best growers of small gardens that I have know have been women. I do believe that farming and rewilding should find a way to coexist.
Best part of your stack today was your descriptions of Paddy in his class. What a great dog.
Hello Northumberland! Hopefully I'm "better late than never." Good to see Ya on another Friday!
But sorry to see the situation in Your Parliment, and all the Islamist extremism there. We have some here too, but it doesn't seem to be as bad as it is there. Nice catch on the article by Suella Braverman. It seemed very necessary to be said. The article on Mr. Shawcross was just good, too.
The article on Minette Batters was fascinating! Doing the farming while heading the NFU. What a lady!
I really enjoyed the article on the difference between male and female brains. And learned they now have "explainable AI" where the AI can describe *how* it came up with the answer it did. Again.. Fascinating!
I donno what to even say about males breastfeeding. And John Lewis's magazine.
The two additional posts had interesting articles as well. And always glad to hear about Paddy.
And because I forgot to mention -- the Free Speech Union's Writer Advisory Council has written to Royal Society of Literature about its behaviour. The RSL has now referred itself to the Charity Commission (a highly unusual move) .The RSL is continuing to protest its innocence (for example https://amp.theguardian.com/books/2024/feb/19/royal-society-of-literature-refers-itself-to-charity-commission-after-author-petition )
https://freespeechunion.org/fsu-writers-advisory-council-writes-to-royal-society-of-literature-over-its-failure-to-publicly-support-sir-salman-rushdie/ details the FSU concerns.
