wewbull , in Faith school banning parts of geography lessons, Ofsted finds

So close the school. It’s had 8 years to course correct, and they’re not doing it. Close the school.

Ban all religious schools tbh

JackGreenEarth , in Faith school banning parts of geography lessons, Ofsted finds

I’m glad they’re talking about Jewish schools for once. I used to got to a school like that and all I usually see in the public domain is atheists bashing Christians, this is a breath of fresh air.

Honestly it kind of makes sense. If you think that God himself the ruler of the universe wants you to do it some particular way, then you're not going to give a shit if some educational authority tries to put down rules as to how the kids should be educated.

This is why religion has no place in education or government or a few other places.

Exactly. You’re going to work around them to ‘please god’. Good point.

Kusimulkku , in Jewish theatregoers felt 'unsafe' at comedy show - BBC News

One man, who attended the show with his wife and friends, told the BBC the incident happened about five minutes from the end of Mr Currie’s show after the comedian had unveiled both a Ukrainian and Palestinian flag in front of the 200-strong audience.

“He started waving it around and some audience members stood up - he encouraged a standing ovation,” said the man, who wished to remain anonymous.

Kinda weird for a comedy show

IndiBrony , in Yodel in final stages of talks amid concern over its future

I worked for Yodel back in 2011-2013. Honestly, I’m amazed they’ve lasted this long. Absolutely horrid company to work for.

He prefers to go by the name Exotic Dinosaur-like Turtle, thank you!

Parcel delivery firms will be getting hit hard by the cost of living crisis and the sad thing is other delivery firms will easily be able to absorb the Yodel contracts without needing to take on (m)any new people, so those 10,000 workers will be largely out on their ear.

ChocolateTeapot , in Liz Truss targets 'secret Tories' with new campaign

There are some “secret” Tories??? All the ones I know are very loud and proud!

I’m afraid she isn’t wrong about their existence. People ashamed of their voting. People who don’t believe they voted for anything but their own self interest. People whose family and friends “won’t understand”. Shy Tories have long been a thing.

Wodge , in Plot to kidnap child hatched a week before Madeleine McCann disappeared
@Wodge@lemmy.world avatar

2 things that come to mind: the Maddie McCann stories get rolled out when something needs to be distracted from, so what’s the thing we’re not meant to be paying attention to this time? And secondly; The McCann’s should both be jailed for quite obvious child neglect, they were at a restaurant when this happened, and left Madeleine back at their holiday let. Seems proper fishy that nothing happens there.

thesmokingman , in Liz Truss targets 'secret Tories' with new campaign

Liz Truss? Liz Truss the PM whose lasting contribution was going out before a cabbage? That Liz Truss? The Liz Truss who flip-flopped on a major policy that saw her biggest supporter ousted from the Exchequership faster than a head of lettuce rotted? Why the fuck would anyone take her seriously beyond her shelf life?

Because her being forced in to significance remains convenient for the puppeteers with their hand up her arse. They still want everything that they told her to do the first time.

That would be the Liz Truss that added thousands to everyone’s mortgages. It’s amazing the shit that the British will take from politicians.

Rumbelows , in Disgraced singer Gary Glitter refused jail release

I worked a job once where the manager instigated an ice breaking exercise… you know the sort of thing… tell me two truths about yourself and one lie.

One of his truths was that “he once licked sweat of Gary glitter’s chest.”

I kind of bet he regrets that disclosure, now.

floofloof , in Liz Truss targets 'secret Tories' with new campaign

fight back against the “left wing extremists” she claims have taken over Britain’s institutions.

She is either cynical and pandering to extremists or fully detached from reality herself.

When you are that far to the right, everything looks leftist. They can’t see the centre where it is because it looks so far left to them.

fakeman_pretendname , in The Internet Didn’t Kill the High Street, Inequality Did

It’s a good and interesting article, though I was under the impression that another contributor was all the empty city centre properties being “sat on” by large property holding companies, or as “theoretical money” by pension companies.

I’m not confident I 100% understand it, but the gist is:

In the skint run-down “lovable shithole” I live in, a fair chunk of the city centre has been boarded up for years and years. If you want to rent one of those units? Still £20k a year. It never dropped from its prime.

Why don’t they lower the rent, rather than let it sit derelict?

If they rent it out for £5-10k a year, it’s only worth £5-10k a year.

If it used to be rented for £20k a year, and nobody rents it, because nobody wants to pay that much, it’s still “worth” £20k a year in someone’s asset portfolio, and you can borrow money based on the theoretical value of the property, or sell it on to another developer/holding company based on its theoretical value.

So in theory, there’s plenty of smaller shops/businesses that would use these units if the rents were lowered to something affordable, but none of the owners want to lower the rents, as it “devalues the asset”.

Therefore we have a city full of small businesses desperate for premises, and a city full of semi-derelict boarded-up shop units.
