I agree that 'an independent judicial body in England' would be better description than 'an English court.' But I'd note that I'm not alone in viewing the judicial body as an English court, as evidenced in much of the reporting.

This is terrorism. RTC should be made a proscribed organisation on this basis, and you can see a month ago their official national leader running from association with Cullen - not just for the noncing but also presumably because the case for proscription is very strong.

I think you can find quite a lot of artefacts that would indicate that slavery was, even by the 1700s, quite controversial.

Clearer and fairer Ofsted inspections, also harsher and a bit arbitrary.

This doesn't seem to me a very good argument against retrieval practice. That children can memorise things that aren't true isn't an argument against having them memorise things that are true. The fact that untrue and true things exist doesn't invalidate truth.

Surely this law is a gratuitous overreach into the charters of voluntary membership associations, and one which restricts freedom of association?

All schools report attendance data to the DFE in a machine and human readable format. They've put an AI in charge of attendance that can't reliably retrieve that data for a school.

'Yes, they can settle but should we deport their kids' is a new one. The thing the consultation did not address was whether we think that extending the time frame for ILR/citizenship from 5 years to 10 years is a great idea. Because I think that it's a rubbish idea.

It does mean that this was their last ever decision, something that you'd assume could be left to states to decide unless you just had some deep weird hatred of nursing.

So you'd agree, based on French law as described in the article, that this is an utterly insane overreach interfering with corporate governance well outside of his jurisdiction, and based on a premise which can only demonstrate ignorance or duplicity?
