Another chart to show the declining importance of UK goods exports to the EU – a trend that began well before Brexit,
It shows that UK goods exports to the EU have been falling as a share of UK GDP since at least 2000, which further undermines the case for rejoining... 🤔
US Ambassador Mike Huckabee on Andy Burnham’s Israel sanctions -
“It’s like throwing a stone and not having an idea of where it’s going to land.”
That completely sums up Labour’s approach to governing doesn’t it?
No plan, no foresight.
Just tossing policies out like a stone in a stream, clueless about the consequences.
Unfortunately, it’s the British public that will face the fallout when this one lands.
Senior source in the asylum system reckons there are over 1 million rejected migrants in UK. Home Office has no idea where they are.
Attempts to remove them are pathetic. A few thousand to Albania whom we pay.
How much longer can people be expected to put up with this?
Here’s a controversial idea….
How about benefits don’t pay more than work?
Then you wouldn’t need to hand out taxpayers’ money to make work more attractive than benefits.
Revolutionary position I know but….
Really not a fan of Andy Burnham representing Britain on the world stage whilst wearing a T-shirt. Especially not in front of uniformed military men.
Standards should matter.
@Jenny_1884 Why would the MOD need “water-bombing aircraft”? You probably think it’s shocking that the Fire Service has no tanks or artillery?!! #dickhead
Every person living in a western nation needs to listen to every word of this
Katherine Berbalsingh went to the University of Oxford and is Headmaster at Michaela Community School in London, UK
She PERFECTLY explains the mass indoctrination into the narrative of oppressor and oppressed, and of hating White People
I will write only some of this out because it’s very important, however you should listen to it so you can hear the passion:
“The culture shift comes from what children learn at school and online. Ask any young person what history they learned at school, and they’ll tell you, Hitler. Ask them what else? Slavery. Ask them what else? American civil rights.
In fact, what little they know of history will be all about Black and brown people fighting for equality against the white man, women fighting men for the vote, gay and trans people fighting for various rights. Our young people have been taught that history is simply one long story about various groups struggling under the oppressive dead white man.
— History is taught through an oppressor lens. The triangular slave trade, white men held the power. What about Britain ending the slave trade? More than a quick mention, if at all? Mm, no.
What of the Arab slave trade that lasted 3 times as long as the triangular slave trade? Mm, no.
Okay, so GCSE history in Britain is often taught as migration through time, so the idea that Britain has always been a land of immigrants is embedded in our children’s heads. Most schools would prefer to concentrate learning about the tiny number of Black people who existed in Tudor England over a thorough analysis of England’s break from Rome.
— Not to mention weeks on King Mansa Musa of Mali because he was a Black Muslim. His bearing on British institutions, laws, and faith is nonexistent. And the fact that he is said to have been the richest man in history, thanks in part to his massive slave-owning society, is a detail somehow that teachers rarely ever teach.
But it isn’t just our schools. It’s our general culture too. Take your kids to a museum or an art gallery in any Western country, and you’ll find the same narrative.
As an example, when learning about aviation in London’s Science Museum and the extraordinary feat that is man making massive machines move in the sky, a write-up on the wall explains that women and Black people were historically barred from aviation schools and the military. Similarly, James Watt, the man who invented the steam engine and is considered the founder of the Industrial Revolution, has a write-up on the wall explaining that his early career involved slave trafficking, with a bonus analysis of the whole of Britain’s complicity in the slave trade.
They flatten the entire human story and all of its complexities into the narrative of oppressor and oppressed, leaving young people unable to see the world in any other terms.”
We have to end the mass indoctrination
@christopherhope It doesn’t mention anything about not wearing jacket and tie to meet the King - it even states “except in the chamber or for exceptional events”. Don’t get me wrong, I think Burnham is an ass, but just read the article before getting your knickers in a twist!! 🤪
‘Every child at our school is rooting for England, no matter their background. All of them will come in, have their faces painted with the St George’s flag. They will all cheer for the same team. If all schools did this, we wouldn’t have the problems we have right now’
