I see lots of Right wingers are using places like Denmark as a shining beacon of why National service is great.
It’s funny, cos they don’t ever seem to champion all the OTHER aspects of life for young Danes.

I was just asked "I've recently received a high income benefit child benefit charge. I earn £53k my wife £12.5k. Yet I've read if we both earned £49k, we wouldn't have received the charge . How is that fair?"
That's correct. Sadly the answer is simple. It isn't fair.
7 years after the Brexit referendum, the scars are evident. Broken promises, a struggling economy, a tarnished reputation.
Now, more than ever, we need to face the truth. Brexit has failed. Join us in the fight to restore our position in Europe.
@NileGardiner@CapX Why are so many brexiteers saying this isn't the Brexit they voted for then, whilst it's exactly the Brexit that remainers voted against?
We’re going to spend decades negotiating to help tackle the impact of Brexit on everything from the music industry and the City of London to car manufacturing and tourism. Instead, why can’t politicians explain to voters why it’s in the U.K’s interest to be inside the single market and customs union. There is no country in Western Europe that isn’t in some combination of these, or is applying to join. How are we the only one whose national interest is to be entirely separate from the continent’s market structures? I honestly think politicians underestimate the intelligence of voters. Nobody has really bothered to explain to people what the single market and customs union actually do.
In Maths, RW have been estimating to see how many objects are in the baskets. Then we counted the objects to see how close we were to our estimations ⭐️
"Maths" being compulsory for all pupils up to the age of 18 is stupid as it alienates pupils that struggle with maths, focus should be improving Maths education for younger pupils by showing them maths can be enjoyable rather than concentrating on tests.

I’m not surprised about this. Whilst much Brexit damage is perhaps intangible for many people, the passport queues, stamps and restrictions for non-dual nationals are very ‘in your face’. I expect this to become an increasingly important issue that will have to be addressed.
@grantshapps Please do not put words in my mouth. No, I do not think it is right nor moral to tolerate criminal gangs trafficking the vulnerable people, but by not giving the asylum seekers safe routes you are exacerbating the problem.
