Would that I could imagine a government denying insecure cis people their god given right to have a bit of paper telling them what sex they are but you don't actually need it because you can clearly tell by looking at someone except when you can't but we definitely still need it otherwise you're trying to destroy the existence of women.

If the terminally divorced cis Gender Commandos need a piece of paper to demonstrate how real their penis is they can do that themselves. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nVi5vKfV24

OwlFancier posted:My history curriculum was weird, no royals, but we did history of medicine and native americans which were both interesting. Very infrequent poster (VIP?) here: History curriculum is funny. You're definitely not alone in those GCSE/O Level units. They're part of the 'Schools History Project' which was basically an attempt to make history in school less...poo poo. They had this wild idea that maybe children should actually do things like look at historical sources, learn some social history, and not just get told a load of dates, kings and queens. The 'Wild West' unit was massively popular because everyone was watching Westerns at the time SHP came around. Medicine I guess because it covers a lot of ground, and is gory so therefore interesting. This was all pretty cool and good, until the Gove-era Tories went on a mad one about how Marxist loonies in universities were destroying are culture and children didn't know all the kings in order, so therefore re-vamped the whole thing. They thought it should basically be all British history, chronologically starting in primary and reaching present day by GCSE options choosing time. This had the hilarious effect that Gove thought it only right that 9 year olds were learning about the Anglo-Saxon Heptarchy. Incidentally one big problem with this approach is that people only ever study older/ancient history when younger, so think that Romans = shields, medieval = rats and plague, and then modern history is the only bit with any complexity. Also, if anyone's interested, quite a few universities have lost their rights to run PGCE (teacher training courses), as part of the aforementioned Tory paranoia about Marxists running universities and then creating Trot teachers or something. Much better to put it all in the hands of private companies of course. I've worked with both and had no problems, but anecdotally have heard about some pretty dodgy teacher training courses run privately

I can't help but feel if more people were taught that they might be less susceptible to idiotic covid takes.

I also took classics, which ended up including a lot of stuff about why classical texts were written as they were (usually politics), how people have interpreted classical texts, what motivated those interpretations (politics) and why the interpretations might be bad (guess). It's not a big leap from there to applying similar thinking to contemporary texts. I am not sure if that stuff came from the syllabus or my teacher, but I wonder if teaching classics slips under the ideological radar of people like Gove in a way that history doesn't. Amphorae and Ovid are the kind of thing Tories love to pretend they know about and it's pretty difficult to shoehorn British nationalism into works that predate England by a millennium or two, though plenty of people have tried.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:So what is Sir Keir Starmer’s slogan? The chorus to which Labour reliably, robotically returns? It depends what day it is. Now into his third year as Labour leader, Starmer is on to his twelfth slogan: “Build a better Britain.” In September he promised a “fairer, greener future”; three months earlier he was “on your side”. In January 2022 his watchwords were “security, prosperity, respect”; which you shouldn’t confuse with the four he stressed in his 2021 conference speech: “Work, care, equality, security”. I could keep going, but you follow my argument: Labour isn’t making one.

Thinking he outsmarted them. But they just would over quote him by 50% and get what they originally would have got. Was googling it there, and he still has over 100+ companies back in Atlanta that he still owes money to.

I spend a week in Germany every year for an enormous trade fair that dumps tens of thousands of people into a small city during a local festival week and it still feels less cramped than Manchester or Glasgow on a Saturday. There are homeless people, yes - there always will be - but the streets are not an open air hostel and I've never seen a cop moving anyone along.

You absolutely, 100% sure this isn't just Westminster exploiting the SNP's change of leadership to try to cripple their last remaining serious opposition with a politically-motivated investigation/arrest? We're still continuing to learn more about the insanely dodgy bullshit the British establishment and its institutions pulled against Corbyn's Labour, and the Nats, being an openly secessionist party with (by definition) little English representation) have even less protection of legitimacy than they did.
