I'm okay in London, but I still feel it as if I were there. I have to get this off my chest, but what I find insulting is the YouTube comments in response to videos about the disaster - they are incredibly vile and insensitive. If I was head of YouTube I would disable the comments feature out of res...

Strictly opposed. Addressing gambling addiction was worthy of international consideration as it was independent of each member country's stance on gambling, but this is forcing gambling on member countries, which is bad.

GURT seeds have long been banned in our country. We should have thought about extending this internationally long ago, had it not been for our absence (OOC: continuing studies), so we are in favour.

This year, the Department of Education rated all but one school as "Good" (at least 75 points out of 100) or better.

The one school was Springfield Primary with its inept staff. The score? 7 points.

This is why you don't manage schools using The Simpsons as the template. :palm:

It is sad that Islamophobia is rampant even in parts of the UK because of strong right-wing groups like the BNP and the EDL, but it is not just some of the media outlets, but also a much more simpler act of jumping to conclusions based on past events, and also a small minority of extremists that end...
