if standards aren't being met will this make things better for students or just create a death spiral in quality at sub-par universities?

what I don't get about arseholes like Trump and Musk is that they treat others really badly then expect, no, demand to be loved. utter and total and complete narcissists who want their narcissism to be shared far and wide.

weirdly her words actually admit that the prices are not coming down and yet people are what? sensing that it is happening soon and feeling that? what? this woman is as dipshit as the orange baboon himself

is he effectively asking why he hasn't been arrested and locked up?

this is really well done

well said

looks like plenty of witnesses and camera evidence so I assume this man will be put through whatever disciplinary procedure ICE have and perhaps even prosecuted as this is clearly an illegal act. no? ICE are allowed to do what the fuck they want? Fascism in action?

absolutely. and further, although news is a crucial part of the BBC I would not destroy the BBC over it because of other crucial parts such as educational content and, specifically, nature output.

actually not only pregnant mothers and not only on this health claim. let's all just turn our backs on Trump. actually no, that's a bad move given his sexual crimes

wasn't there something that Thatcher got rid of whereby a renter could approach the Council to adjudicate on whether their rent is fair or not? let's have that back

spot on

it's all part of the plan...

excellent!

Farage should be deported back to the bottom of the sea. he is definitely a blob fish in a suit

Farage is an enemy of what is good about the UK.

good point: why isn't this a big story? governments making people disappear should be a huge issue for any country let alone a democracy.

whether it is the greatest city or not is one of those daft things people debate. what is true is that it IS a great city among many peers in this country and elsewhere. London has a rich history enriched by all the people who are or have been here.

who wants to play Top Trumps: corruption issue?

I would be surprised if this didn't hold true if the word "Modern" were removed

as @hackneyabbott.bsky.social said: "We know racism and violence and fascism is not new. "But you know what? We have always defeated that racism and violence." the broken glass on London streets left by these fascists bussed in has been swept away and so will fascism.

Real Rambo Biggs? who is supposed to take someone with that handle seriously. J6ers can fuck off.

I wonder whether the people getting angry about the murder of Charlie Kirk are even slightly angry about the more than 18,000 children murdered by the IDF in Gaza.

note from planet Earth: please don't go ahead with this. you lot are bad enough with your 3 score years and 10 without hanging around being political arseholes and polluting the crap out of the environment as it is. seriously though if people get more right wing with age what will this lead to? :O

fucking hell! Trump's administration is going full speed ahead nazi. they make Hitler's speed of highjacking the state look like that of an amateur.

Russia is basically taking the piss. why don't they just come clean and admit that they are at war with us and be done with it.

I'm betting that the people who attended the Unite the Kingdom rally are less prone to stress, worry and rumination because their minds, active or not, fail to analyse possibilities and outcomes.

I’ll probably never work in TV again for saying this, but the truth matters more: Brian Roberts, Mike Cavanagh & Mark Lazarus are cowards. The media is cowering to a small, alt-right, vocal minority. That’s not “unity.” That’s surrender. And it’s destroying journalism.

I would love to see a series of linked sequential short stories penned by such eloquent and imaginative writers @stephenking.bsky.social and ‪@ramseycampbell.bsky.social‬ what a festival of horror, suspense and poetic prose that would be!

to the fuckwit nazis that left all the broken beer bottles and cans lying around in the streets south of Blackfriars Bridge: you have no love of country. no consideration for others (I had to pull pieces of glass out of the tread in my tyres). no regard for other people. fuck off out of my city.

for anyone who think that the 110,000 turnout for Unite the Kingdom is a massive number and reflects the views of British people let's just say that in November 2023 nearly 3 times as many people attended the National March for Palestine.

didn't Charlie Kirk say that a few deaths are ok if it means gun ownership continues to be allowed?

the Israeli government show no respect for international law. they are murdering children in Gaza. fuck Netanyahu

Nigel Farage can fuck off.

absolutely.

What utter dickheads we are… Rayner fought for workers: sick pay, maternity rights, protection from unfair dismissal Farage and his MPs voted it down Rayner gets binned over £40k in stamp duty Farage dodges £44k, shrugs & strolls on The mega wealthy win again.

I say find those people, find all the people they don't want around and let's set up festivals to attract as many as possible to the neighbourhoods.

if the human race ever needs an enema it will be a tossup as to whether it is fitted via Putin or Trump. they are both the biggest arses in the world today.

looks like a cosplay cat but I'm damned if I know the character she's playing!

this would be a good approach in the UK too and all democracies.

whenever my faith in humanity is damaged by the Trumps, Putins, Netanyahoos and Farages of this world I just need to see someone in an inflatable t-rex suit visiting a t-rex skeleton in a museum. we are a great species!

beautiful fossil!

love the cover. love the album. so damn good.

this is fucking hilarious given what the trump administration is doing. fuck Trump. fuck Vance. fuck GOP.

for people to die of curable diseases is not the mark of a civilised society. we are not a civilised world but each nation can hope to be that bit more civilised. there are people in all countries who value personal wealth over the common weal. some Republicans appear to be such people.

cats... so often impatient, selfish and basically little gits can be so loving and caring too.

this. if no other message is amplified then at least let it be this. so much else follows on from it in terms of government spending and development funding. CEO's are a parasitic growth on the arse of corporate greed.

Good morning wulferhampton have a fantastic Friday you fabulous freaks

spot on

I LOVE THIS!
