Sums up every decision by this supposed Labour government so far
The stakeholders concluded there is plenty of suitable woodland and natural prey for a viable population of lynx to be established in the Highlands. They identified positive economic benefits, mainly through eco-tourism, and agreed that some endangered wildlife might benefit due to lynx taking smaller predators, especially foxes.
Yaldi!

Yes teachers are hired to teach specific subjects, but that isn’t their only role.
They teach how to be a person within society, the social contract (a French term I might add), and how to engage critical thinking.
They’re not there just to blindly teach how to memorise the curriculum. There’s nuance to their role.
5·1 day agoHere we are. Closing airports in Moscow 11 years after invasion began and 3 years after full scale mobilisation…
Is Russia going to imminently collapse? Probably not.
Is Russia on the back foot and being pushed out of the country they invaded? Yes.

8·2 days agoI guess the Met better arrest Kier for supporting a proscribed terrorist organisation then. He might meet the Kneecap lads while he’s inside.
On Saturday (17 May) the women stood outside the Scottish parliament building with their shirts off and their arms painted red, which they said was a mark of solidarity with anti-fascist feminists across Europe.

Because there’s money to be made and they’re arseholes.
You don’t have to bet. You can click on it and find out.
They are different. They’re more racist, xenophobic, and (surprisingly, it’s possible) more incompetent.
Yes. Not precedent as in American law where “they’ve done it this way in the past so we don’t need to think about it again and just copy the previous ruling” but precedent as in other cities have now seen a) it can be done b) how to do it. This makes it easier to do it in their cities. It’s also in a highly influential city when it comes to laws and courts.
11·25 days agoFuuuuuuuuuuuuck that.
I agree with the statement but I’ve downvoted this as I can find no reference to it anywhere on the BMA website or any other official public communication.
What I did find was an article about it here, and when questioned for a reference the author responded with an ever unhelpful “I have been told it is on the members only part of the British Medical Journal (BMJ) website.”
OP, if you can provide proof of this I’ll gladly turn that downvote into an upvotes.
You’d rather see nonsense then. You can’t dissolve a country. A country doesn’t go bust, stop trading, wrap things up and shut down. It may have hyper inflation and gain a poor populace but it cannot shut down. It can always leverage for credit because it will always exist. The terms of credit may be awful but the ability to raise funds somehow is always there. Literally printing money, bonds, government takeover of private institutes, whatever, there’s many many many more levers available to a government than other entities.
A country cannot go bankrupt. Therefore the title is bollocks, therefore a downvote and move on is warranted. Even if the content is good, they’ve spoiled any respectability with the title.
This is exactly why the new lemmy.world rules where moderators should challenge everything instead of removing bad content is bonkers because it encourages nonsense and misinformation.
All I can find about this book online (which has just released) are the same marketing buzzwords and phrases as OP used and a “detailed review” that throughout can’t spell the author’s surname…
Is this some weird advertising campaign?
Fancy giving us some actual details OP?
