I’m what the Americans call a Progressive so this isn’t reactionary rightwing criticism but I feel Labour welcomes more unemployment. It helps to swell their ranks and drain the Tory’s. When Labour get in power they spend their time handing out knighthoods to bankers and do stuff all for the common man anyway.

London is an international city and needs a world class hitter to champion it’s cause: not someone who only goes down well in Tehran and Venezuela. In Vino Veritas indeed.

“literature and history were not necessarily approached as independent
disciplines”.
I’m surprised that Tribune forgot to add Politics and Propaganda too.
Geoffrey was showing the existence of a pre Saxon Sovereignty over the Island of Britain that centered on Welsh Princes and their lineages – which the Normans were keen to gain by marriage and conquest. By drawing on the Welsh and Breton (linguisticly close to Welsh) stories and adding in some French chivalry he was engaged with forging a new National Identity.

Gawain was also written at near enough the same time the earliest surviving redactions of some Welsh “Native Tales” which although copies of earlier versions may have had references added that alude to Owain Glyndwr and the Llywelyns.

Rearing this retirement age further than 65 seemed to be an error in judgment. In the event more aged individuals keep do the job for a longer time subsequently how should more radiant entrants into your task current market receive a foothold? The item purely isn’t going to produce almost any good sense considering that the pressure connected with doing the job lots of years in excess of envisioned will create a hold on the well-being. TFor people that wish in addition to are prepared for worling for a longer time they’ve already the options, but it really shoud definitely not possibly be essential.

Comment on UK snapshot at the start of another austerity year by Anonymous

A very worrying trait seems to be emerging from this government (remembering that they have no mandate) and that is their ability to totally ignore research and export opinion when forming policy. Furthermore, they are attempting to lock themselves in for five years, by which time; they will have done what they set out to do. IE completely reverse a social gains made over the past 80 years or so. Whether this leads us to social and economic catastrophe is not really of any concern of theirs. This, to me, is very close to how many totalitarian regimes have operated.
