There was a high rate of underage pregnancies in my school - I bet not all of them will have been fully consensual. And I always suspected (but had no firm evidence) that a classmate was being molested by her father. The message “it’s not ok” in classrooms may have encouraged her to report him.

Yes it does look like that. I wonder if you could make something similar by braiding some heavy gauge roving? It's a puzzle!

There is a causal link between conflict in Middle East & surges in UK antisemitism (CST).

We don't then say: OK, what policy would these antisemites prefer! (We should have the right policy on its merits)

If a causal link between high immig/asylum and racist slurs, similar principles should apply

I'm getting frustrated at the failures of media to note that part of this is that Donald Trump is stupid as hell.

Donald Trump is a very stupid man and we should be explicitly saying that Donald Trump is stupid, because he isn't a normal amount of stupid - he is very, very, very stupid.

Some people need to start going to prison for this. I bet that would change things pretty quick.

Is it definitely knitted/crocheted? Could it be braided, like this spiral rag rug?
