Its an allegation at the moment with no opportunity for those accused to reply. "For more than two decades, the Taliban have put children on the front lines of Afghanistan’s armed conflicts. They have used children as fighters, to plant and detonate improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and as suicide bombers. Thousands of children may remain in their ranks today." https://www.hrw.org/news/2021/09/20/our-opportunity-end-talibans-use-child-soldiers

Oxford Union Rejects Mandatory Pride Flag Policy During Pride Month.
Bkk Brian replied to Social Media's topic in World News
They occasionally have some sense then. The Oxford Union is the world's most prestigious debating society with a tradition of hosting internationally prominent individuals across politics, academia, and popular culture. Founded in 1823 at a time when The University of Oxford restricted students from discussing certain topics, The Union continues to uphold the principle of free speech through the exchange and debate of a wide range of ideas and opinions, presented by a diverse range of speakers – some inspiring, others controversial. Today, The Oxford Union remains an independent, student-led society with a membership primarily drawn from The University of Oxford. As we celebrate 200 years of free speech during our Bicentenary year of 2023, we reaffirm our commitment to our integral values and also our belief that the discussion of complex topics should not only be encouraged but is an essential element of any free society. https://oxford-union.org/abou -
Starmer strikes again at the most vulnerable who can't fight back. "A crushing blow" is how Care England described government plans to scrap the social care visa scheme, which allows carers from abroad to work in the UK. https://news.sky.com/story/restricting-staffing-during-shortage-has-the-care-sector-worried-13366178

Weak, very weak, of course the majority are dems. Another head in sand denial moment for you. Democrats still have a Gaza problem four months after Kamala Harris’ loss. A quartet of progressive advocacy groups are asking the Democratic National Committee in a new letter to better engage with pro-Palestinian voters, according to a copy shared with POLITICO — a sign that the party’s rift over the Israel-Hamas war could stretch into the midterms. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/12/pro-palestinian-groups-dnc-00225896

and? A Whitehouse press release does not contain all the deal details. I posted that its the results that matter. We obviously wont get that till they are known. You keep trying to dispute that very simple fact. "While many details of the agreement have yet to be fine-tuned, Trump described the deal as a "conclusive one,” saying "the final details" were "being written up in the coming weeks." https://time.com/7283842/united-states-united-kingdom-trade-deal-trump-starmer-tariffs-agreement/ Your not making sense, you claimed the deal was a failure, that's not what Trump and Starmer are saying. Can you provide a link to the full details of the deal, even though they've not all been published yet? Once you've done that can you also provide a link to say the deal is a failure as you claim?

But they did. Biden Gaza pier fiasco left 62 US forces injured, one dead and caused $31M in damages: report https://nypost.com/2025/05/07/world-news/biden-gaza-pier-fiasco-left-62-us-forces-injured-one-dead-and-caused-31m-in-damages-report/ A military floating pier ordered by then-President Joseph R. Biden to deliver humanitarian aid to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip was functional for barely 20 days before the effort was scrubbed following the death of a servicemember, dozens of injuries and the damage or loss of tens of millions of dollars worth of crucial equipment battered by heavy storms. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/may/7/bidens-floating-pier-mission-gaza-failed-cost-us-soldiers-life/

Why do you keep spreading false information and keep thinking that your deliberate double speaks hides your intentions? Is occupying campus buildings permitted under the First Amendment? No. While viewed by many as an act of civil disobedience, it does constitute trespassing, which is conduct that is not protected by the First Amendment. Can a university require you to obtain a permit before protesting? Yes. A private university can require that you obtain a permit prior to protesting and has absolute discretion as to whether or not to grant that permit. Can a university limit written expression like posters, signs, flyers, or chalking on sidewalks? Private universities can absolutely regulate the distribution, display or posting of written protest materials on campus. Can college presidents call in police to stop protests? Protesters who engage in conduct or speech that falls outside the First Amendment can be arrested. A protest that has or will result in violence or vandalism or otherwise exceeds the protections of the First Amendment could be shut down entirely. https://www.freedomforum.org/protesting-on-college-campuses/

Not falling for your double speak or your introduction of Zionists, you are wrong and that is a fact. They were occupying campus buildings, they have no rights under the 1st Amendment From the OP “Disruptions to our academic activities will not be tolerated and are violations of our rules and policies,”

Here we go again, I know what you replied, you replied with some cock and bull story that the quote was from "an aggregator program using the Telegraph as a source" Can you provide a link to that claim? Now I see you are attacking the messenger to. The Telegraph. Do you not believe other Canadians can have differing opinions and deserve to be heard?
