The Shrinking of the American Mind
What wasn’t said at the debates was as telling as what was.
UK's top universities urged to act on classism and accent prejudice
What wasn’t said at the debates was as telling as what was.
The shrinking of the American mind involves a kind of numbness. It has become difficult to think or see beyond the noise emanating from the White House" and the Democrat and Republican campaigns.
Journalists are now just reactionary. They don't go out to get stories, they wait for the politicians to tell them what is important, then do a let's-you-and-him-fight story on that.
Use proper English and you're regarded as a freak
Why can't the English learn to SPEAK?
So, like I was sayin, it's like reelly strange when they. you know, make fun of your glotttal stop, innit?
Imagine questionin' me academic abili:ty 'cause of the way I speke. WTF.

PS: What is wrong with changing accents; actors do it all the time. One for your family, one for your mates and one for the simple gits who think their accent is posh.

"...when that message comes in a home counties accent..."
That is, it's okay for me criticise your accent, but not for you to criticise mine.
“It’s really tough for young people from low-income backgrounds to get into top universities. For this and for other reasons, it’s completely unacceptable that they are discriminated against while they’re there.” If it does not destroy you, it makes you stronger
Your freedom went out with pro-life abortion laws. Snooze you lose.

Most Americans view politics as two camps bickering endlessly and fruitlessly over unimportant issues.

Disrespect, I will buy.
But the idea that this was racist is clearly way over them top
(Unless, of course, ANY mis-pronouciation of a name is racist.)
Anyway Purdoo or Pardou or Pyrdiedoodiedoo or whatever, was disrespectful.
(Or is it racist for me to say that?)
He doesn't want a deal. He never wanted a deal.
If the UK can't get what it wants by January 1, then the tariffs will have to stay in place until the next election.
All Boris really wants is to be part of the Europe trading zone without having to follow any of the rules of the Europe trading zone. Why won't they see that Britain has the RIGHT to out-compete them. I don't see why the EU doesn't listen to reason and let us eat our cake and have it too.

Donald Trump says he might leave US if he loses to Joe Biden
I trust he will go to a country that doesn't have an extradition treaty with the US. Russia, perhaps?
If that is racism, then ANYBODY who mis-proouncesan Mexican, Hindi, Kyrgyzstani, Vietnamese or Thai name is also a racist.

Pro-Trump campaign ad uses stock footage from Russia, Belarus
That' why they call him Putin's bitch.
About time the Irish paid some of the money back that was sent to them from America to aid the murderers of Sinn Fein.
DOJ says book from first lady’s ex-adviser breaks agreement and seeks profitsI certainly hope it does.
And they can sue for the profits: should be about 7 years before they get a decision.

There is always an excuse when it come to keeping your nose in the troughJust give us more of other people's money.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Mike Pence WON BIG!
James Lange @langej
He interrupted Senator Harris and the moderator.
We will, along with your leader.
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrumpMike Pence WON BIG!
James Lange @langejHe interrupted Senator Harris and the moderator.
He answered very few of the questions he was asked.
(e.g. Why is the US death rate so much worse than any OECD country?)
If that was your idea of winning, it is no wonder you can't make a deal.

President called 'American Mussolini' as he removes mask on return to White House
He is not insane, he just does not care if he gives it to anyone. He believes in herd immunity and thinks the best course is to just infect everyone. If it results in 500,000 American dead, that is okay with him.

Boris Johnson blames rising coronavirus infection rate on UK’s ‘fraying discipline’
Of course it is the public's fault. It couldn't be government not knowing its own rules, could it?

Proposals to hold newly arrived asylum seekers offshore branded ‘illegal, expensive and illogical’
I can see that it is expensive, but why inhumane? Nothing wrong with a barge. But there is also nothing wrong with committing them to refugee camps, which would be cheaper. As long as they cannot work or establish a life for themselves until their case is decided, including any and all appeals.

"....we can somehow convince people that if they get here they’ll be in camps and their claims will probably be denied and they’ll be shipped back home." That does not seem illogical at all.
Gosh, you do surprise me. Here I thought beauty came from the inner person, the soul.
Now you tell me that it is only skin deep. Apparently it differs whether or not you are western.
But did she apolgize like Boris' father or Jeremy Corbin.
I'm told that makes it alright.
