Surely that's OK as long as they acknowledge the potential problems with it being a think tank briefing rather than an academic article and are properly critical of it? I'd allow it under those circumstances.

In my police training class we had to carry a joker and be able to produce it if a classmate produced theirs, with penalties if you couldn't. People got pretty inventive about it! I was class leader and palmed mine to show the whole class on parade once, but the class introduced a rule against that.

Sorry to hear that! Hope it turns out to be a false alarm.

Fantastic!

Please tell me there was a corresponding 'Tea Rule' for the Commonwealth troops!

SIR BEDEVERE: And that, my liege, is how we know the earth to be banana-shaped.

ARTHUR: This new learning amazes me, Sir Bedevere. Explain again how sheep's bladders may be employed to prevent earthquakes.

Excellent!

Well, these are the same people who think the Blitz was a great old time.

And we were in the EU, or EEC as it was then.

Why is there a picture of Margaret Thatcher? Don't they know who was in government from 1974-1979 during this supposed 'golden era'?

That's a weird position for a military veteran to take. Most of us owe our continued ability to walk to Ibuprofen.

I'd need an expert to verify this but I think the vast majority of terrorists, regardless of ideology, are born in the country in which they conduct their attacks. Do they all hear ancestral voices, even the right wing and single issue extremists? Or, and this is a crazy thought, is it more complex?

As other colleagues have commented on this post elsewhere, a great many British students commute one or more hours to university and work at least one job to support themselves and their families. Many also have caring responsibilities on top of that.

Presumably, their definition of 'best' does not include well-written, well-researched, and well-argued critiques of the party?
