The Government is wrong to think that reviews of safety in the person's country every few years will mean refugees can be returned at scale. That hasn't happened in Denmark. Brutal dictators tend to hang onto power. It would just move huge amounts of resource away from making our asylum system...

We favoured "Beliefs and Values" 80s-2000s but tended to favour "Worldviews" for last 20 years or so. Subject content always focussed on contemporary worldviews however, because of double aim of subject: civic & personal. History of ideas maybe something for history? (Alas for subject boundaries!)
