Thank you - 4 more please to justify ādozensā
What about the breakdown of the national origins of men convicted of sex offences in these gangs to justify āPakistaniā - you wrote this, not for example āpredominantly Pakistaniā

āBarry Blazzerā (joined X in December 2024) thinks journalism is about writing any bombastic nonsense you like, and how dare anyone challenge you to justify it

āDozens of towns that bear the scars of Pakistani grooming gangsā writes Sam Bidwell in this long post
There may indeed be ādozensā. Can Bidwell name 24 British towns where grooming gangs operated and in every case justify it is accurate to label them as āPakistaniā gangs?

As a conservative myself, I welcome conservative studentsā views on all manner of things, but my anecdotal sense is that 18-22 year olds trend very strongly leftwing (theyāre idealists) and thereās a lot of self-censorship. I/we definitely donāt have a ālineā.

On British university campuses, all students are expected to toe the radical progressive line on issues such as gender, colonialism and the Israel-Palestine conflict. But some brave students are fighting back. dailysceptic.org/2024/12/30/ā¦

Sometimes he even uses words that were never used in day-to-day speech at any time, e.g., ĪŗĻĪ½ĪµĻĻĪ¹Ī½ in Il. 1.4 is neither Ionic (that would be ĪŗĻ
ĻĪÆĪ½) nor Aeolic (ĪŗĻĪ½ĪµĻĻĪ¹).

Harlaxton Manor is a stunning 19th-century stately home located in Harlaxton, Lincolnshire, England. Built between 1837 and 1855 by Gregory Gregory, it is an extraordinary example of Victorian-era architecture, combining Jacobean, Elizabethan, and Baroque styles.

47,571 pupils took GCSE (O-Level) Latin in 1959; in 2024, with 17 million more people living in England, only 5,169 did. And this month a scheme teaching 5,000 people Latin in English state schools has been axed. The politics of envy is ugly. #latingate

Latin can be learned by anyone. This week the falsely 'elite' nature of the language was compounded by the UK government's perverse decision to cancel funding Latin in state schools halfway through the year. Today J.S. Ubhi shares anger from the classroom: antigonejournal.com/2024/12/ā¦

Good point - reports in Telegraph and Mail seem to refer only to plans to ādiversifyā curriculum, not Shakespeare specifically. Why did Toby Young bring in Shakespeare in his post about todayās story why are public figures repeating him uncritically?

It is painful and super-ironic that 1) a school founder 2) a former Education Secretary are making points about school standards and ātraditionalā learning that donāt clearly reference the facts and both demonstrate and encourage poor reading comprehension

Pity serious-minded local politicians, professionals, entrepreneurs, charity workers, teachers, doctors and the rest based in the inner cities, faced with this kind of gross ignorance, intolerance and fatalism

If clearly hasn't. Many British cities now resemble Third World slums & a full of people who aren't British.

Drafting my piece on Puck of Pook's Hill today. Such a wonderful book, it's hard to get everything I want to say into a mere 1,600 words.

Misinformation account @Inevitablewest appears unfamiliar with the polling on UK attitudes to Israel-Palestine - @IpsosUK @YouGov @Moreincommon_ have variously shown ambivalence, more sympathy with Palestinians than Israelis, and high levels of sympathy for Palestinian civilians

I did actually read some Homer in Greek many years ago but concept of the ābestā translation is contingent - how are you balancing accuracy, lyricism, vibe, narrative? All suggest different translations - of something that was adapted from storyteller to storyteller anyhow.
29 Dec 2024
(FWIW I donāt really have an opinion on this little contretemps because I havenāt looked into any of the translations with any great depths so thatās where my ignorance lies, but you canāt tell me āyou shouldnāt find this version well or badly crafted because no speak Greekā)
