Actions have consequences. This is the second time she and the others have tried to enter Gaza illegally, so they should keep her in detention until the war is over, no matter how long that might be.

Precisely. It's a useful productivity tool if its output can be checked by someone with sufficient knowledge of the subject to correct any mistakes or omissions.

Just think how poor Melania feels. Every morning she wakes up, looks over at Mango Mussolini and mutters in Slovene "Damn! The old b*st*rd is still alive."

How many now were MPs or govt members, however minor, throughout the disastrous chaos of 14 Tory years.

All of us need to identify these charlatans and make sure their failures stick to them like shit to a shoe

Where's the MAGA sticker on that truck? There has to be one somewhere.

I wonder if anyone has successfully sued a university on that basis?

You can choose to study anything you want, but you should be aware (or made aware) that some courses are unlikely to produce a financial return. Given that you'll likely be putting yourself in debt for decades, it's an important factor.

They're not the same thing at all. If your school or the uni persuade you to do a degree in theatre studies because "it opens up so many opportunities" and it turns out to be useless, you've been missold uni. If you choose to take that course entirely of your own volition, you haven't.

As my father used to say, money may not make you happy, but at least you can be miserable in comfort.

Missold uni or just picked courses that offered few opportunities?

Chris in Wien @chrisinwien.bsky.social · Aug 17

True.
