Itโ€™s unthinkable that the US would ever ban a musician from performing music because their personal views were occasionally repulsive. The 1st Amendment is a good thing and I wish more countries followed our example.

Still waiting for the "Brexit Benefits"....

Madeleine Sumption (MAC) highlighted something that is largely missing from the UK media + political debate. The most likely reason why claims are going down in Europe & going up in the UK is that asylum seekers can't now make a second claim in another EU country - but the UK is outside that

Teachers are like the one job that should never be automated like the human connection is main part of teaching not just spitting out information to kids

Why does Melania hate human teachers?

I know this ain't a popular opinion on this website but I actually think Boris was the best PM of my life, like the guy gave my house central heating and sent me to Sevilla teach English

Unfortunate that UnHerd lower than the likes of Guido and Spectator, they have a few insightful writers e.g. Aris Rousinoss, Wolfgang Munchau, Yaris Varoufakis, Sohrab Ahmari, Jonny Ball, Aaron Bastani

So in other words: 1. EU Trade 2. AI Investment 3. Levelling Up This is literally Rishi Sunak's premiership rehashed Perhaps, this government could come up with some actual policies in the 3 areas e.g. 1. Rejoining the Single Market 2. Partner with Anthropic 3. Build HS2 to Manchester

UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves just previewed a three point growth strategy - with 'Stronger post Brexit trade relations with the EU' as No.1 goal. Though for that to be meaningful, a much broader discussion on changing the UK's stance towards getting closer to the EU will be necessary.

Personally, I think itโ€™s bad that a wildly corrupt pedophile with dementia is President of the United States and is trying to make himself dictator for life.

You are up to date.
