Foreign nationals are underrepresented as a proportion of prisoners jailed in England and Wales when compared with rates of incarceration among British citizens of similar age, an analysis of government data has found.
There must, of course, be total equity between indigenes and our welcome new diverse arrivals.
So, bang up more of the immigrants, obviously.
American democracy might not survive another year – is Europe ready for that?
Alexander HurstTrapped between Putin and Trump, EU citizens understand the grave dangers facing the continent. Their leaders urgently need to face reality, too
Europe’s run by incompetent tossers who cannot see the nose on their face. Therefore, of course, we must have more Europe!
Fusing Bolan with Blondie by way of the New York Dolls and Sex Pistols, the band scored hits including I Want Your Love, Baby I Don’t Care and Landslide of Love,
Baby I Don’t Care is really “Wild Thing” rewritten. So Transvision Vamp were a Troggs cover band.
More than 100 years ago, a Māori woman packed up her life as a tour guide and entertainer in New Zealand and set off for England, where she would soon make history by enrolling at Oxford university.
In a tragic turn, Mākereti Papakura – believed to be the first woman from an Indigenous community to study at the university – died just weeks before completing her thesis, and in the decades since, her family has fought to have her degree recognised.
I’m wholly certain that women from Midlands England studied at Oxford before this lady. You know, indigenes as far as Oxford is concerned?
Anyway, on to the more important questions. What is that special little trick that moves one from indigene to Indigenous?
Trains packed with volunteers arrive at tourist town of Guangfu, days after typhoon sent millions of tonnes of mud and water crashing through its streets
Students, monks, and retirees. Gym bros, migrant workers, mums and dads with their children, even tourists. As a crowd of hundreds disembarks from the train a crowd of people cheer “jiayou”, a chant of encouragement which translates to “add oil”.
Dubbed the “shovel supermen”, they have come to Guangfu in their tens of thousands, as volunteers ready to help after a distant typhoon burst a natural dam and sent millions of tonnes of water, mud and silt crashing through the streets.
Clearing up the mess is going to take the labour of some tens of thousands of Taiwanese. Sure, they can mediate it through government and the efforts be collected through tax. Or they can turn up with shovels and gumboots and do it directly.
But clearly this would be done better if proper attention were being paid to diversity, equity and inclusion, no? To gender equity, to raciual discrimination and so on?
Yep, that’s right, it should be government. Can’t have the peopl just truning up and solving problems now, can we?
Burberry has sacked its diversity chief as part of a sweeping overhaul at the luxury goods giant.
First, that the Telegraph has reported this when others have not makes clear its own bias against the DEI agenda.
Newspaper reports news is proof of bias of newspaper.
The majority of British households expect to restrict their home heating this winter to try to keep rising costs in check, according to research released as the price cap that dictates most bills rose again.
The fuel poverty charity National Energy Action said 58% of households told its survey they were likely to trim their energy use, a nine-percentage-point increase from the level in January.
Such a terrible surprise to some that budget constraints exist, that there really are opportunity costs.
Everyone, always faces budget constraints because there are always opportunity costs. Whatever energy prices – or whatever whisky prices – there’s always a trade off between how much heating, how much whisky one can have.
Tradeoffs apply to everyone. Elon Musk doesn’t have to worry about whisky or heating, true, but even he cannot buy both Wyoming and Luxembourg, a choice – a trade off because budget constraint – has to be made.
Three and a half years after war plunged Europe into an energy supply crisis, millions of households in Great Britain are braced for another winter of painful gas and electricity bills.
On Wednesday, the quarterly cap on charges will increase again. Despite a fall in wholesale gas prices, the ceiling for a typical annual dual-fuel bill will rise by 2% to £1,755 to help cover the costs of energy policies and network upgrades.
If gas is down and energy is up then it’s not the gas price driving energy, is it?
Biomethane not viable for widespread use in UK home heating, report finds
OK.
Gas derived from farm waste will never be an alternative to the widespread adoption of heat pumps, research shows, despite the claims of fossil fuel lobbyists.
And that’s the real claim here. Biomethane will never heat everyone so instead everyone must have electric fired heat pumps.
Because planners are never, ever, going to allow a mix and match according to circumstance and taste now, are they? Why, that would be a market and we know what planners think of those.
Donald Trump has blamed Democrats for stalled talks that have made a US government shut down all but certain, and has threatened to punish the party and its voters during any stoppage by targeting progressive priorities and forcing mass public sector job cuts.
It is an opportunity, isn’t it?
The president added that a “lot of good can come down from shutdowns” and suggested he would use the pause to “get rid of a lot of things we didn’t want, and they’d be Democrat things”.
Now, I’m not sure that I’m wholly right about this but I have the impression that government shutdown used to be a really big thing. Mebbe under Reagan it happened – and I was in DC – and this was the very terror. It was certainly unusual, even unprecedented.
Now it’s just one of those things that happens every few years. Congress – really the H of Reps – is incapable of getting a budget out on time or even in form. There should be a bill from each committee with spending for their area. Instead, as these near never appear on time, we get a series of continuing resolutions and little that would actually be considered a consideration of the actual budget. Just a last minute thrashing around like we’ve just had.
Essentially, my observatiomn is that government isn’t getting any better even in its basic task of being the government, let alone what it does to the rest of us.
