What have the Tories changed? Nothing. Until they realise the problems and start tackling them ( Labour too in its turn) they will be unelectable. This letter could form the basis of a list.
@toadmeister Sounds too bald . Son has SEN but very high functioning. No extra funding but extra time in exams ( which is now hard to get). Consequently at one of our top universities and coping. It was of significant help to get a better understanding of his spiky profile -mainly to him!
I have a friend who is one of the best editors in Hollywood. By thirty-five she’d won awards, had the big office, the assistant, the recognition. She also had the creeping realization that the life she actually wanted (a husband, kids, Sunday dinners) was slipping away. She started dating men she didn’t even like, just to try to make it happen. At thirty-nine her two year relationship imploded. She called me in tears. “I put my career first because that’s what we were supposed to do. Now yeah I’m at the top of my game but I’ve lost the only thing I actually wanted.”
I have so many stories like this. We need to warn the next generation of women of the risks of delaying family for too long.
@hearnimator@docsuzy People don’t hate Jews. Certain people over identify with the Palestinians mainly because they are unclear on history. They therefore hate Israel and are too simple minded to deal with complex moral /ethical situations. In addition Islamist extremists pose a violent threat.
@BucketsOf_Rain There is no recognition of strong “male”traits like courage and physical strength, protectiveness, focus etc. Clearly these can be displayed by women too . I am reminded of Ukraine post Russian invasion when women and children invited to leave, and men required to stay and fight.
Former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has donated his entire personal income from speaking engagements and professional partnerships to a homelessness initiative in the United Kingdom, helping fund the construction of 75 housing units with more than 180 beds for those in need.
@BucketsOf_Rain I have two delightful sons. I am consistently bewildered by the wrath directed at men/boys by women . As women have ascended the employment ranks this seems to have got worse!
