The EU Council has done nothing but neuter and diminish the proposal. It is “back” in the sense that Denmark have their turn at the presidency and have it in their proposed policies to try again.

This post’s alarmist “2 months to xxxxx!” nonsense, is very effective Anti-EU propaganda. Tell me more about straight bananas.

Just so we’re clear, the thrust of your complaint is that the government didn’t do enough to ensure equal access to education for everyone and that’s okay because people shouldn’t have such high expectations of The Greatest Nation on Earth?

LLMs are statistics, so one person doing it is primarily useful as a “don’t do this” example.

100% of Irish people can speak English and do so without sounding as ridiculous as the Dutch do.

The issue is taking a broad concept and making it mean a very specific one instead.

(Please note I am an atheist that lived for years in a “Muslim country”. I don’t actually agree with any of the below, but understanding what words are intended to mean is important when you are surrounded by their use in 2 different contexts).

Fatwa: a Sharia law ruling by an imam

Fatwa (western): a ruling by an imam that a person is not protected by the law and therefore a target for assassination

Hijab: men and women of Islam should maintain a sense of visual propriety in order to avoid devaluing what can be seen in private.

Hijab (western): that cloth Islamic women wear on their head.

Jihad: the righteous struggles that each human faces to choose a difficult path for good reasons.

Jihad (western): a holy war of aggression against infidels

Why? That’s her comic right there? What does that achieve other than bringing her ‘other’ business here?
