    Trump as President

    All countries will suffer from Trump's tariffs in the short term, because things they sell to the USA will become more expensive and sales will fall. He is also likely to ban trade with countries and companies doing business with China. BRICS will morph into something larger to the benefit of...

    Trump as President

    Not completely, in the short term he will do a lot of damage to everyone. China will lose jobs factories will close. And there will be little opportunity for students and postgrads to study in the USA. In the long term these things will work in China's favour as they become more and more self...

    Democrats only: Are there lessons to be learned for team Harris?

    Nothing need be learned by the Harris team, it is over. However the next lot need to remember voting is about the economy and people. Everything else is small beer.

    Trump as President

    As you say it is only four years down the drain. But I and many others have lost a lot of respect for the American people who have voted in to office, some one, of such bad character. However from a liberal British and European point of view ,neither the Republicans nor Democrats have...

    Perhaps all children should be brought up by the state.

    poll: going into other people's homes?

    It never occurred to me that visiting some one in their home could be something to dislike. Or to be something special. It has always been to me a perfectly normal thing to do. If there are any house rules they will say so. My only rule is no smoking.

    How about we defund UNRWA ?

    How about moving the UN and all it's agencies out of the USA and into say Singapore, well away from western hegemony. And at the same time remove all countries vetos. Establish new funding in proportion to every countries GDP. with loss of speaking and voting rights unless paid up. Voting...

    Rather better to defund all aid to the Israelis.

    Romance is a childish invention of poets and writers

    Romantic love is where someone else's life and wellbeing is held more important than your own. It can be directed at a person, a people a place or thing, even a concept or ideal. It is totally unselfish in its nature. Like the victoria cross, it is beyond the call of duty.

    Great News for the UK

    That is small beer compared to the annual cost of the US president. And it all comes fra the settlement between the royal family and the government. Where they gave up their lands and possessions in exchange for an annual stipend. I suppose we could just return the royal lands to them. After all...

    Great News for the UK

    Trump is not a political issue in the UK He will either be the new president Or dead in the water. Or possibly simply dead. Either which way Trumps time will be over, before Kemi Badenoch can get the chance at a general election. Which is nearly five years away.

    Great News for the UK

    The Tory party have a knack of electing leaders who are either very clever and not at all intelligent. Or, Very intelligent but not at all clever. As a result most of them are in a practical sense dumb. I do not think they need a new leader who is extreme right wing but with no announced...

    Colleges & universities should take action against professors who deliberately fail too many students

    It is perfectly true that most education facilities have to be run as businesses, a large majority in the UK are Publicly funded. all are regularly inspected and have to meet the designated standards. This includes the standard of teaching and students attainments and entry requirements...

    Colleges & universities should take action against professors who deliberately fail too many students

    Who needs to memorize long lists of details. No one needs to, though some can. It is always prone to the possibility of error. For me, at any rate, learning has always been about how to do things, preferably from basics, and how to expand from there. It is more about processes than facts. The...

    Colleges & universities should take action against professors who deliberately fail too many students

    How can unmotivated and unqualified students even get into a higher education college or university. That makes no sense. However such failed school students are usually able to get into further education colleges that mostly have far lower entry requirements and lower level courses. And who...

    Colleges & universities should take action against professors who deliberately fail too many students

    A 30% or worse failure rate seems high. However the success of a teacher at every level is reflected in the successes of their students. My grand son teaches students at a further education college who previously failed their school leaving exams. But who needs to pass English and maths to...

    Congratulations to Britain and Keir Starmers Labour party

    Not much point in might have beens. The Tories had the majority in parliament to do as they liked. And they f....d up their own Brexit policy. However reality and their policy was never a match or a likely outcome. The whole Brexit project was a failure from the start, and has been a disaster...
