Nah it’s a particular corner of academia which has repeatedly been shown to have poor standards, group think, and unprovable views. Why that’s bleeding into government policy is an interesting question though.
Lazy stereotyping of the academy, there.Well I'm more on about the public opinion In general , it's not about left or right is it most people think it's fucking nuts .
The people asking the policies are all well educated academics coming from this background
When my old man went to Warwick University (old man is a Labour voter)
It certainly didn't sound like a well balanced place for reason and debate .
You either thought the same as they did or you were on your way off the course
I'm not sure that's trueLazy stereotyping of the academy, there.
I mean if the course is engineering then that’s fine. The problem is treating social science as as solid as physical science IMO.
Horrible to see them reverting to taliban rule after I believe yourself and others have given so much to make a difference to people's lives over there. Do you think us and the US should have kept permanent bases over there like have existed in Germany and Japan since the war?On a different subject, I'm appalled at the way the US and UK are abandoning the poor afghan people like this .
What a tragic waste of time , resources and life the last 20 years have been .
Along with Iraq (which both Blair and Bush should pay for ) the way we've destabilised the whole region and the world in the process is nothing short of criminal
Where is the same western justice we applied to the middle east and its leaders

There was a fella talking about this on 5 live the other day and its hard to see another way around it.

You sound like someone who can’t explain what they’re on about so resorts to insults.
Gender is sex stereotypes. That’s what I’ve always been taught: boys have short hair, girls can’t throw, etc etc.
It says transgender people are people who’s gender isn’t the same as their sex. Which makes no sense so I assume they mean they don’t conform to sex stereotypes.
If you have a better description feel free to give it. I seriously doubt you have though.
You’ll be the third person in this thread to get get angry and abusive and be completely unable to answer basic questions about the ideology you’re getting angry about. It’s tiresome.

It's very left wing
Sex is a biological certainty. Gender is a human construct that has become ingrained into our psyche.
The way forward isn't to start creating new constructs to fit people into, its to dismantle the constructs that already exists.
We're going to get nowhere until we realise gender doesn't actually exist and people should be free to act as they please regardless of what sex they are.
On my PhD I had to include proof that room temperature in the lab was what I said it was. On my PGCE I could make up quotes and evidence from students without any of it being verified.

I used to upset Psychology A level students when I called it a soft science.It wasn't engineering , it was psychology he did his last 2 years at Warwick uni

It's data is too subjective IMO and it's success in treating very unwell patients very patchy at best.

Teaching right now is full of people peddling their ‘research’ and it’s the new fad.This.
That doesn’t mean there isn’t value in social sciences, but a recognition of the evidence base behind theories is needed.
Education is chock full of grifters and woo. The amount of arguments I had about “learning styles” and the lack of evidence for them.

I’m of a mind that if I have to read some, I’m going to look at the stuff done by the people still delivering in the classroom on a regular basis, rather than the person writing a book on teaching that hasn’t done it for 10 years.

What should we do? Go back to war?
Yeah, I wonder if those countries most involved are going to take them in?Letting any refugees in might be a good start.

Neither of the 2 countries which were most involved are in the EU.doubt it
Six EU countries warn against open door for Afghan asylum seekers
Six EU member states have warned the bloc's executive against halting deportations of rejected Afghan asylum seekers arriving in Europe despite major advances of Taliban militants in their country.www.reuters.com
Recall for Monday? Last Monday even. It’s not like this problem has crept up overnight.What should we do? Go back to war?

So the USA invades the country and yet somehow it’s deflected onto the EU, wow.That’s a cop out. The Eu armed forces were involved at the outset and many deployed troops. In fact many increased their presence as part of NATO in higher percentages than the U.K.

Wasn’t there only 2 invading forces and anyone that followed was part of a NATO piece keeping force?That’s a cop out. The Eu armed forces were involved at the outset and many deployed troops. In fact many increased their presence as part of NATO in higher percentages than the U.K.
