Thank you - 4 more please to justify ādozensā
What about the breakdown of the national origins of men convicted of sex offences in these gangs to justify āPakistaniā - you wrote this, not for example āpredominantly Pakistaniā

āBarry Blazzerā (joined X in December 2024) thinks journalism is about writing any bombastic nonsense you like, and how dare anyone challenge you to justify it

āDozens of towns that bear the scars of Pakistani grooming gangsā writes Sam Bidwell in this long post
There may indeed be ādozensā. Can Bidwell name 24+ British towns where grooming gangs operated and in every case justify it is accurate to label them as āPakistaniā gangs?

As a conservative myself, I welcome conservative studentsā views on all manner of things, but my anecdotal sense is that 18-22 year olds trend very strongly leftwing (theyāre idealists) and thereās a lot of self-censorship. I/we definitely donāt have a ālineā.
On British university campuses, all students are expected to toe the radical progressive line on issues such as gender, colonialism and the Israel-Palestine conflict. But some brave students are fighting back. dailysceptic.org/2024/12/30/ā¦

Harlaxton Manor is a stunning 19th-century stately home located in Harlaxton, Lincolnshire, England. Built between 1837 and 1855 by Gregory Gregory, it is an extraordinary example of Victorian-era architecture, combining Jacobean, Elizabethan, and Baroque styles.

47,571 pupils took GCSE (O-Level) Latin in 1959; in 2024, with 17 million more people living in England, only 5,169 did. And this month a scheme teaching 5,000 people Latin in English state schools has been axed. The politics of envy is ugly. #latingate
Latin can be learned by anyone. This week the falsely 'elite' nature of the language was compounded by the UK government's perverse decision to cancel funding Latin in state schools halfway through the year. Today J.S. Ubhi shares anger from the classroom: antigonejournal.com/2024/12/ā¦
Good point - reports in Telegraph and Mail seem to refer only to plans to ādiversifyā curriculum, not Shakespeare specifically. Why did Toby Young bring in Shakespeare in his post about todayās story + why are public figures repeating him uncritically?

Pity serious-minded local politicians, professionals, entrepreneurs, charity workers, teachers, doctors and the rest based in the inner cities, faced with this kind of gross ignorance, intolerance and fatalism

Drafting my piece on Puck of Pook's Hill today. Such a wonderful book, it's hard to get everything I want to say into a mere 1,600 words.

Misinformation account @Inevitablewest appears unfamiliar with the polling on UK attitudes to Israel-Palestine - @IpsosUK @YouGov @Moreincommon_ have variously shown ambivalence, more sympathy with Palestinians than Israelis, and high levels of sympathy for Palestinian civilians

I did actually read some Homer in Greek many years ago but concept of the ābestā translation is contingent - how are you balancing accuracy, lyricism, vibe, narrative? All suggest different translations - of something that was adapted from storyteller to storyteller anyhow.

The most depressing aspect of this H1B debate is the amount of people who havenāt seen Tropic Thunder. Call yourselves educated.

The shades, the bomber jacket, the whole vibe. Elon makes us cool" Nigel Farage claims of Elon Musk to @timothy_stanley. In reality, Musk is close to Donald Trump as one of the least popular public figures in Britain, across every age group, becoming much more toxic, 2022-24
