Astonishing. One-third of 16 year olds don't meet grade 4 gcse English level. Each, and every year. Shall we deport them?

HR represent employer interests, not employees. Unions can help employees. It's interesting to note that Sophie represented herself, not her union.

@caranotkara.bsky.social it seems that your local MP is cut from the same stone as Joanna. Is this an isolated experience, or part of a pattern?

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."

Pope Leo calls for news agencies to stand as bulwark against "post-truths," lies and manipulation

Pope Leo XIV has encouraged international news agencies to stand firm as a bulwark against the "ancient art of lying" and manipulation.

Analysis in @thetimes.com by @leaskyd.bsky.social & Anna Dowell of the sharp decline in British identity uncovered by the Scottish Social Attitudes survey.

With comment from Sir John Curtice on the polarising of Scottish politics and from myself on the decoupling of Scottish and British identities:

Why Scots are losing their British identity

With only a quarter of respondents to the Scottish Social Attitudes survey identifying with Britishness, Scotland faces a generational political split

The National Broadcaster is essentially English, like the London Parliament. Scotland has a devolved Parliament (debate). Maybe a devolved Scottish Broadcaster would work, run by Scots, for the Scots. It's hard to reconcile current output with the consistently expressed political views of electorate

Ad hominem attacks don't persuade the target to change their view. They have a different purpose, and this is Glinner's weapon of choice.

For most of my life, I've experienced & observed common decency across the political spectrum and through my daily interactions. Now, it's dog-eat-dog ad hominem attacks on people - always minorities. Language matters, it's how people come to be indifferent to their neighbours, & worse - much worse

I've no idea what this means, other than it's unrelated to my post regarding the meaning and impact of words. Warren Mitchell's explanation is clear.

There's never a consequence to unconstrained speech. Do you remember the 1970s and how certain people loved Alf Garnett's 'free speech' while Warren Mitchell pointed out ...
