As much as I loathe Cooper and hope that she is banished from politics, this is a rather specious fluff piece from Novara Media. The donations were fully declared, over a ten year period during which mostly she was out of office and wasn't even the health secretary.

A terrorist group from the Republic of Ireland are threatening "migrants" (anyone darker in skin tone than they are)

Not sure they've seen the amount of fake tan and dodgy eyebrows they've got going over there. "Anyone darker than they are" must be legitimately pulling all mass and even light towards them!

The polls go straight in the... bin.

Are Senators exempt from laws in the US? Given how easily this can be disproved why hasn't he been sued to the point of bankruptcy?

That kinda depends on where in the world you are. In Europe we have strong protections such that users need to consent to that type of testing (remember those annoying cookie banners? well what do you think they're for 😉). But if you're in the US... well, my apologies.

Randomised is not what makes it ethical. It's what makes the AB test statistically valid such that you can test your hypothesis.

Ethical would be to run the test, gauge the click through rate to checkout to find a winner, then for all those you charged the higher price to give them a discount code such that everyone gets the product at the same price. What you're testing is the click through rate of a price advertised further up the funnel.

Maybe later you can say ok the rates didn't drop off people seem ok with the higher price. Higher price for all. Or not as the AB test would reveal.

Sounds like that Camilla Batmangella Kids Company charity that was caught fiddling the books instead of caring for children.

Ireland is not part of the UK. They'd be very upset, rightly so, if you even suggested they are.

This post has nothing to do with the UK.

Let's not get fixated on the employment part. There's also not being in further education. And also not being in training (like an apprenticeship for example).

If you could identify a child that would later on in life struggle to either be in further education or training you'd help them, right?

The solution is more resources per child with constant evaluation and alteration of the system and what it offers, it really is that simple.

That sounds like what this is aimed at doing. Did you read somewhere that all they are doing is putting kids on a naughty list?

Without knowing what they plan to do with children that are identified it is hard to say much more. But the point of school, surely, should be to prepare children for their future such that they can function in a society.

Imagine what you would be doing if you're later in life classed as being Not in Employment, Education, or Training for anything (what is known as NEET). That doesn't sound like a very fulfilling life. Giving people extra help such that they can go onto further education, or training for a skill (even if you take umbridge to the word employment) is surely a good thing.

What would you have happen to these children? If you could identify clear markers at an early age?

 

What would you do with £16k of tax payer's money? I suppose pay your tax bill maybe? 🤔

 

Lammy is saying this?! The brass neck on that man.

 

On the Shambles-O-Meter what level are we right now?

 

Oh well at least this isn't the chaos under the Tories that we were promised...

I wonder what happens to Rachel Reeves in that scenario? Her policies seem equally unpopular.

 

Hello community. I love the look of street photography and want to give it a go. What beginner tips or guides would you recommend? I have a rangefinder with a 50mm lens (film) to play around with if that helps.

 

As if he or his supporters give a shit where the money comes from.
