  1. Patently false: https://scholarship.law.georgetown.edu/facpub/297/
  2. The Constitution only withholds two rights from non citizens, the right to vote and the right to hold Federal Government Office, all other rights under the constitution are held by all person within the U.S. and its jurisdiction. There are historical examples of these rights being withheld from certain groups, usually on the basis of race. Those being some of the most shameful episodes in the abuse of Government power So yes, foreign students do have the rights of freedom of speech and freedom of association under the Constitution, but also infringement of constitutional rights is and always has been part of the abuse of Government power. Court cases will undoubtedly follow.
  3. Come back and tell us if you ever find any evidence to support your loaded curiosity.
  4. It seems Rishi is full of things he never did when he had the chance.
  5. Or, there’s a bunch of parents who fear their children can’t compete unless they receive privileged access to small class sizes, and all those other ‘special needs students’ often used as examples of those who will suffer due to the closure of already financially struggling schools.
  6. I was making a sarcastic observation. The carbon impacts of production are reduced per unit produced by the economies of scale. The carbon impact of the Internal Combustion Engine increases per unit produced.
  7. I see you’ve grasped the rudiments of probability. So how is the closure of a few failing private schools impact the next generation’s ‘brightest prospects’?
  8. You do understand tariffs are taxes? Keep an eye on your Social Security.
  9. On the basis of probability they exist in the highest numbers amongst the students in State schools.
  10. Except: https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-clean-energy-was-top-driver-of-chinas-economic-growth-in-2023/
  11. Yes of course they are. Economies of scale are not a thing.
  12. Because of course those are the only zero carbon sources of energy?
  13. I believe a trade deal with the U.S. on very easy terms was on the wish list.
  14. In fairness the facts suggest otherwise: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/jan/09/home-office-says-record-number-of-asylum-seekers-deported-since-july
  15. And yet the technology is improving rapidly. And of course wind energy is only one part of the Renewables available to the UK.
  16. There’s been a change of Government Jonny. The NHS is getting back to be the much loved institution it was the last time Labour were in power: https://news.sky.com/story/extra-two-million-nhs-appointments-in-labours-first-five-months-figures-show-13310872
  17. Is that even true? Nobody in the UK is bankrupted by medical bills.
  18. You’ve not seen the latest polling: Farage’s fawning around Trump is costing him support. Your fantasy of importing Trump’s madness to the UK is folly, by the time of the next UK election comes around Trump will be out of office and the damage his policies have done will be on full display. Meanwhile even Badenoch has, with many Tories, come around to accepting the UK needs to work with the EU to fill the gap Trump has created. You should take some time to enjoy Farage wallowing about as he tries to reset his messaging on Trump and Europe: https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/51739-how-have-recent-developments-in-ukraine-affected-favourability-ratings
  19. Sunak didn’t ‘ruin BREXIT’, it is the failure it was always going to be. The Tories didn’t’ let Labour in’ the electorate made that decision. Sunak had is chance, he lined the pockets of the rich while stripping money from the rest of society. Renewables and net zero are creating jobs and boosting the economy, something Sunak failed to do.
  20. Net zero is creating jobs and boosting the economy: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/feb/24/britain-net-zero-economy-booming-cbi-green-sector-jobs-energy-security
  21. Jonny, this is a discussion forum. If you don’t want to read opinions that upset you, don’t read them. Nobody is forcing you to read anything here, it’s all your own choice.
  22. “One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter” I recommend caution with that argument,
  23. Shall we file that under ‘Under estimating an adversary’?!
