I'm talking generally of course not in absolute terms. It's the 80% to which university has become Mickey Mouse with the remaining 20% more competitive than ever before - partly to pay for this protracted education of remedials.
I think university is more about the protracted childhood of the most privileged people ever to have lived than it is anything else.
But foreigners still live in a world of white kudos therefore they assume the education has merit like the old days where you got to university because you were intelligent and what they then taught you was relevant. The good old days where a degree meant something other than 25 year old child.
The best thing to do is abdicate and make way for his son. It was a King Charles that made Britain a republic until his son came along to rescue the monarchy(in limits).
I'd have to say probably does and probably not, Orzz. I think he does want to be king we just like to pretend otherwise to feel less like a serf, we pretend they're doing us a favour so we can look ourselves in the eye. And as for Charles not being regal it's because he's not regal. I don't think there'll ever be a time that he is regal and maybe even the serfs will have too much self-respect for King Charles.
I don't mind paying for a parade. I'm more concerned about people queueing up for 48 hours when after they buried their own grandmother, they went bowling. I'm more concerned about the Putin within whose response to a miserable failed state is to worship the head of it. It's always roughly 80% this figure who can be persuaded by authority to do just about anything - particularly when nothing actually works.
Although that's just human nature. The recent history, the story of our lives, is the one most lied about. The ancient history, the story of our ancestors, is more likely to be true because we are not our ancestors.
Golum wasn't an ordinary and lovely hobbit but at one time he was. And human beings are like this. Instruments of power my precious, their fates determined by power and the only guard against this is the ability to remember what happened yesterday.
Like Prince Andrew. As golum as the man is he was only doing what the mainstream of society did to the 16 year old Britney Spears at that time. And now we are supposed to applaud Britney Spears like it wasn't us that did it to her. The blind hypocrisy is staggering.
Traditionally not romantic because it's the parents telling her to marry for money like she really needs the money, when they often don't anymore - which is a recipe for divorce. The government is telling her to have a heart, marry someone you love and stick together.
If I was to sum it up it's about being loved warts n all by the few people who really know you. Free speech begins at home with the people who love you, or should love you, in spite of imperfection. That's why you won't be two-faced because you accept your own face.
Along similar lines - have a baby or survive cancer. These things are an antidote to narcissism a condition where nothing matters so much as the attention of people who don't know and/or like you. But if your priority is loved ones where you are also their priority, then behaviour is more like what behaviour would be if no one was watching. The problem for free speech in the west is our becoming more like the east, the overwhelming importance of strangers and the emerging enormous gulf between how people behave in public and how they behave privately.
You say freedom-loving because you are imagining a great difference between the war in Iraq and the war in Ukraine. Imagining differences between a British court and a Russian one when there's not a lot in it these days.
The only thing to cling onto is that the war in Iraq was called a war not a special military operation. Slightly less bent.
And if nothing else we are embroiled in a culture war which there seems to be no end to it. The fact we even have a period dignity officer in the midst of a cost of living crisis expresses the states utter contempt for the common man, but the response is to troll this system by making the period dignity officer a man. I understand why men in the west their position as a male eunuch, but it's not coming out in a productive way. Man or woman the period dignity officer ought to be blasted off the face of the earth whilst we seize their property and possessions up to the total value of their wages, and distribute them to the poor.
Take the barristers being on a strike as just a small example of how we are a fake liberal with a fake rule of law. The problems run much deeper with all this new technology but them being all on strike means that the state hasn't conducted a fair trial in years. To actual liberals this would be an immense concern but there's no mention of throwing out verdicts because it's not a liberal at all, a mere pretense of being one.
You need 30k and the type of house that becomes unbearably hot when you cook a roast. A cash rich, fresh air poor home that really makes me hope they come up with anything better.
And we can see that very much on America today. What black and white mean has changed - certainly in some circles - but being judged by the colour of your skin has not. If anything being judged by the colour of your skin has become more of a thing and why would it be otherwise? Judging someone's skin goes with declining intellectualism and declining ability to concentrate, it fits with being shallow and narcissistic.
Mind you partygate never really bothered me that much. I worry about the people who obeyed lockdown just as much as those that didn't - exceptions for seniors, a harsh winter can take them out but then we learn don't we.
We have to import someone who knows the value of things. That's what I think. I like the non-white attitude to debt where you take out a loan and pay for it after. And I like the non-white attitude that goes to work in spite of minor risks. Sunak didn't even want to do furlough really, it's another reason why he's so keen to pay for it.
I would argue that a man of foreign descent is the best chance Britain has. White kudos is so old-fashioned because pale skin is no longer a sign of talent, but of a silly and decadent person who doesn't know how anything works because they never needed to know.
She was the first royal people could relate to and a trendsetter in our famous for being famous world of social media. She soothed a world of ignorance and fear after the extreme take on the enlightenment we call Marxism had failed. Giving up on the idea that people can behave reasonably, society's gone from saying you should think for yourself to a world of influencers in not very long at all.
I hope this is a bluff intended to spur people on. I know cars are massively positive nobody can deny how much better they've become over the years, but there's still the question of the electricity grid being far too small and reliant on carbon. I've no idea how much progress will come over the next 13 years but the point is no one does.
Anyway to give an example we have self-service checkouts which are causing people to be done for shoplifting. Shoplifting because they missed an item but a great many are not really thieves in the proper sense, but we still treat them and pay to punish them like they were. It's expanding the cracks in society and kicking people when they fall through them. Nobody has as yet come up with a way to stop these accidents from happening, it seems that the little guy is the only one to bear the risks and consequences of this technology. To protect this technology we'd rather believe that people have suddenly become twice as thieving as they really are and this really is reflected by the post office masters.
We have a rule of law undermined by itself because they're simply unethical laws, unethical and destructive to our productivity as well.
But this was the one thing Britain used to get right at least relative to other lands. The ability to reform and adapt in time with things as they are. But today it's just a senile old goat here to try and regulate social media. It's embarrassingly rigid and backward but this does not stop them trying to hyper-industrialise. It's the worst of the old and the new, the worst of both worlds and this is why life in Britain gets worse every year.
Nobody a public servant or everybody a public servants. Anarchy or everybody is property of the state, no compromises. It's to basically ignore the fact the some people are public servants and most people are not public servants. It's to not really understand what a public servant is one way or the other.
Public servants don't have freedom of speech they have an obligation to serve the taxpayers. It's literally their job to keep their personal feelings to themselves with a lot less freedom than private individuals naturally.
You only like the law because you imagine justice and whatever you wanted to happen as basically the same thing.
But for so many reasons now the law is dubious both for yourself and just in general. You're not that richest, most powerful 5% of the worlds population anymore for a kick off, and bigger than this the law is like a sheep trying to use an iPhone. They have this insane idea that they can keep up with the pace of change when in reality they fall further and further behind things as they really everyday. They're practicing a truly insane idea that the government, the state, can keep up with our innovations. They think they can bring justice to a jurisdiction they know absolutely nothing about - and it's going to tear the world apart.
Could your pictures be serious in a less intimidating way. You don't have to have a fear grin plastered across your face, look how nice I am please don't hurt me - you don't have to look like butter wouldn't melt. But what about staring off into the distance as though you were lost on some horizon? Admire the view from the top of a mountain, and get someone to take a picture of it. Don't even look at the camera or at most give a glance over your shoulder like you'd just noticed they were there.
