UK government: Runs ads to encourage more people to enter teaching.

Also UK government: spies on teachers who need better policies to actually do their jobs.

Apathy's a tragedy and boredom is a crime.

Anything and everything, all of the time.

Speaking as a British person,

If the problem is our dickheads going over there and ruining the vibe by harassing the locals, sex workers, and pissing everywhere I have a solution:

Turn the whole area into an LGBT area with Gay Bars and Drag Queens and send over a few of our police to coordinate on patrols with the Dutch police.

I'm serious, on a night out on Canal Street in Manchester there is almost no dickheads because:

  1. They stay away from Gay Bars because of their own insecure masculinity even though Gay Clubs have better music.

  2. The Drag Queens, most of whom act as front of house, ticketing, and head floor management DO NOT suffer fools and anyone harassing or being a knob will be ejected them from the premises quickly.

  3. The GM police love working with the Drag Queens who stand outside the clubs trying to convince punters to go inside because they're an active part of keeping the whole area safe by pointing out antisocial behaviour. Also when they don't have a dickhead to deal with, they're having a good chat.

Edit:

Also a belated apology on behalf of my fellow idiot countrymen. Also I'm of the opinion both sex work and recreational marijuana should be legalised and regualted in the UK. Hopefully that would also help with stemming the flow of idiot tourists abroad.

Alternative title: Doncaster woman's stupidity is perfect rage-bait for our website.

Fuck that awful rag of a paper.

Yeah I wouldn't ask chatGPT to do research on my behalf, who knows what industry fluff piece article it's scraped that text from.

Getting started with research, i.e. a first draft at an essay, sure. But you can't trust the information in these LLMs.

To do that, you'll need to do some lateral reading.

Indeed, foreign language teaching and translation work are made significantly easier to get into if you have a degree.

I mean it can happen with any scientific & technological concept that reaches wide enough in the collective consciousness.

Yeah, Angela made that clear that they'll be "holding developers to account for their obligations" for building social and affordable housing which sounds like strongly enforcing the percentage rules on new developments.
