    • Scottish independence to be on ballot paper at general election as SNP approves new strategy

  • It may as well be on toilet paper, because no prime minister is going to agree to any more referenda and all the legal routes have been tried.

    • ‘World’s largest offshore wind farm’ produces power for the first time

    • TIL: "In a very real sense, the El Niño and climate events of 1876–78 helped create the global inequalities that would later be characterized as ‘‘first world’’ and ‘‘third world.’’"

    Jump

  • First, second and third world status originally meant political grouping, not economic

    • ‘World’s largest offshore wind farm’ produces power for the first time

  • It's in the North Sea, pretty hostile environment for anything manmade. Oil rigs in the same area have an expected lifetime of 25 years.

    • Taliban to join China's Belt and Road forum, elevating ties

    Jump

  • Yes

    • In Hamas’ horrific killings, Israeli trauma over the Holocaust resurfaces

    Jump

  • It's the largest mass killings of jews since the Holocaust, so it's not 'disgusting'

    Murdering non combatants is disgusting, by whoever and however.

  • The urgent call from the ten Special Rapporteurs and members of the Working Group on discrimination against women and girls, came in response to an announcement by the Taliban-appointed Supreme Court in favour of punishments including stoning, flogging and burying people under a wall.

  • Sure, conflating the literacy rate of refugees with all immigrants is my error lol

    And I'm not American ffs. I'm from the UK, a third of immigrants to the UK are university students, pretty sure they're literate, ya jabroni

  • Lol, this is what you wrote

    You are deliberately talking over them. They’re clearly not claiming that all migrants are illiterate or uneducated or ill-prepared for work in Europe. They’re arguing that many are, and those migrants exacerbate our problems. They certainly don’t solve them.

    Migrants.

    It depends on the nation. The UN collects data. Afghanistan is 62.7% illiterate, for example. Further, Almost all refugees to Denmark have zero Danish language reading and writing skills. They must learn all of these. Slightly more (but shockingly few) have any English reading and writing skills.

    Surely it isn't surprising to you that refugees have limited European language skills?

    We're talking about immigrants, you made it about refugees you dozy turnip

  • Yes, Hamas' entire existence is built on their charter to ethnically cleanse the Israelis..

    • Israel says no exceptions to Gaza siege unless hostages freed

    Jump

  • Pretty sure the 50% of the Gaza population who are children would be better off not being bombed to fuck. That's ethnic cleansing. Moving down the road a bit while Hamas gets wiped out seems a wise move.

  • The difference in literacy is what we're discussing.

    Immigrants are:

    An immigrant is someone who makes a conscious decision to leave his or her home and move to a foreign country with the intention of settling there. Immigrants often go through a lengthy vetting process to immigrate to a new country. Many become lawful permanent residents and eventually citizens.

    They will have a higher literacy level than someone fleeing Afghanistan. It's pretty fucking obvious. Perhaps you should take some time to learn the differences between refugees, asylum seekers and immigrants.

    • From what I know about male boomers and their political views of women the more i feel the 60s were less free love and more uncomfortable kinda rape-y encounters

  • You could just read the article I linked

    Nearly eight in ten 16-17 year-old boys in the UK have watched Tate’s content, according to a survey by the anti-extremism group Hope Not Hate, with just over half viewing him in a positive light.
