My feeling s on the Tory party completely changed from 2016.
I hope they get back to what they originally stood for. |

The OP is about wokeness and I can see what you mean about a perceived waste of money is built in.
I see irony in it that some people who are furious about people not integrating with British culture are also furious when a report is commissioned to try and encourage that not no happen.
Some people are just furious. |

I’d agree that it seems like a waste of money to state the obvious.
That wasn’t the OP though. |

It must be exhausting to be cross about this stuff all the time.
I can’t see it changing. Once the internet found that creating anger gets more clicks than anything else, the growth of these kind of headlines was inevitable. |

Yes, Scotia put the link up.
It’s clickbait because from a 22 page report which mentions dogs once, a headline has been created to manufacture outrage. |

Absolutely clickbait.
It’ll bridge the gap between ‘their trying to cancel Christmas’ season and ‘when’s International Men’s Day?’ in the spring. |

As mentioned early, financial planning for those with small family farms in most cases would see IHT avoided.
There are always problems with universal policies like these. The aim is to tax people like James Dyson, who had a front page headline in the Mail complaining about the impact on farmers and forgot to mention he bought 34,000 acres of land to avoid IHT. See also Jeremy Clarkson.
Looks like farmers are planning to bring London to a standstill in protest. Let’s see if they’re dealt with in the same way as the Just Stop Oil numpties. |

Not sure what direction the US will take.
In one hand, Trump is keen on oil yet on the other there’s Elon Musk with electric vehicles and a real passion for pushing solar. |

I think it’s a shame that after a weekend of deserved and and respectfully observed church services, television programmes, newspaper front pages, parades, war memorial services, scout and guide events, school events and silences at professional and grassroots sports, there are two pages here on one numpty footballer and not much on the other things listed. |

I don’t like it at all penc. I’ll be at a Remembrance service tomorrow as well as the one I went to today.
But…
The greatest generation gave everything for freedom. Some choose to use this is a way that is uncomfortable for the majority of us.
That’s the price of freedom.
The press are also free to run the McClean story every year, even though you’d have to live in a cave to not already know his stance. |

I share your opinion.
Flip side of the coin, I’m not keen on poppy rage either. Trying to out people for not wearing them at a particular time or place doesn’t seem in the spirit of it to me either. |

I wrestle with it too.
I’m still on the side of the right to peaceful protest but can see a point where the idiots will spoil it for everyone.
That’ll be a sad day. |

I don’t like the timing of the protests and would have an issue if they impacted on remembrance services.
But… those who served did so to maintain freedoms for all of us, including those with opinions we don’t agree with.
They act in this way because they’re free to do so and we should be thankful for that. |

Also a lot of those will be Catholic for whom the Republican stance on abortian will be very appealing. |

Because they won't increase monthly payments and in the current system it's unlikey that the loans will be paid back anyway.
The system is not fit for purpose and needs a toatal re think as per my point about degree protectionism. [Post edited 6 Nov 12:30]
