They students can apply for visas to stay. My overseas students often do this. The move here is to restrict them from claiming asylum after they finish their studies and their student visa expires. That seems fair to me. If they want to stay, then they should apply through the normal channels.

The clearest case of genocide to come to the Court. Prof. William Schabas, on the US, Germany, Canada, and others: “To the extent that they are providing material assistance of a significant nature, they can be held responsible as accomplices to genocide.” www.populismstudies.org/professor-sc...

The observational evidence for AMOC shows it’s highly variable with no sign of slowing. As for the Gulf Stream, this is a wind driven surface current and the prevailing wind direction is driven by geostrophic forces, so is unlikely to stop.

Yes! A quick calculation shows the excessive cost of housing in the uk takes trillions of £ out of the economy. A 3 bed house provides the same productivity today as it did 50 yrs ago, yet it costs 20x more in real terms. That in itself is a huge loss of productivity.

As I said, about 1/3 are trying to game the system. Tens of thousands remain unprocessed. And you can’t send them back if there’s no returns agreement. We should not ignore this as a problem. But we should also not accept the shrills that use it as an excuse for our political failure.

I’m Happy to Be better informed, but my understanding is that Cretin comes from creatin. But doesn’t this just illustrate point? The entomology is lost and the meaning evolves?
Prof Sensible (@profsensible.bsky.social) reply parent
I’m sorry but I disagree. The term cretin has its origins on ancient classical literature where stupidity was associated with the isolationist culture of Crete. But as that is almost completely been forgotten, the use of the term is in no way a modem slur against ppl from Crete.

Prof Sensible (@profsensible.bsky.social) reply parent
I suggest that your terminology is anachronistic. You only recognise it is ‘abeliest’ bcs you are particularly aware of the original meaning of the term. But times move on And the use of the term detracts away from its roots. Hence it’s use is no longe a reference to its origin. Bit like Cretin.
Prof Sensible (@profsensible.bsky.social) reply parent
That’s the entire point. And one that undermines yours. When language changes, it does so through a kind of consensus. Old meanings are lost and new ones are attributed. Pretending that the old list ones are still relevant is a list cause bcs the thesis is bust.
