> “Hostile state actors are targeting UK universities to steal personal data, research data and intellectual property, and this could be used for their own military, commercial and authoritarian interests.
``The worries follow an explosion in the number of Chinese studying in Britain. At 106,000, the figure has doubled in a decade. Three institutions — Manchester, Liverpool and University College London — have Chinese cohorts of nearly 5,000 each. On some postgraduate courses, Chinese students outnumber those from Britain. At Liverpool, almost one in five of its 27,000 students is Chinese.``
``Critics say that professors reliant on foreign funding to prop up their departments and jobs have come under pressure from Chinese state officials to censor debate on subjects such as democracy in Hong Kong, the movement for independence in China’s far west province of Xinjiang — where China is believed to have detained 1m people from mostly Muslim ethnic minorities since 2017 — and the status of Tibet and Taiwan.``
also get aggressive pro-CCP chinese students behaving aggressively towards pro-HK /anti CCP students

Merit based immigration *from countries that are not breaking human rights* <:smugon:512048583806025739>
this isn't even about immigration necessarily
Well, student visas in this case, true

the way this is put together
*easy read*
TFW you get elected based solely on meme value

> Give 16- and 17-year-olds the right to vote and have a say on their future. We will also allow people to stand for Parliament and all other elected offices from the age of 16
> Make misogyny a hate crime across the UK and increase the police’s capacity to deal with domestic violence and misogynistic hate crimes. Funding to support the prevention and prosecution of all hate crimes will be increased, and police officers will be given further training in this area. We need an intersectional approach to hate crime, which recognises the groups of women who are most at risk.
I agree with an educational limit. Anyone with a pointless degree such as history should shut up and let those with a real education behind them speak.
History is still useful
As long as it's not infected by gender studies
Because it'll get you a job like PEP when historically you didn't need one? <:hypersmugon:544638648721604608>
History helps you know that Germans taking over Europe is bad, for example <:Veemote:501103628883591188>
Clearly not <:smugon:512048583806025739>
can't get over Green wanting 16 year olds in Parliament
Once again I notice that PEP immediately goes on the "Brexit voters are retards". Why do you even engage with someone who argues with such bad faith. Especially when, the Google charts showing that the question "what is the EU" doesn't show who googled it only when. There's no possible way for anyone to know why it was googled or by who.
I would take him more seriously on the education to vote thing if I didn't know he considers those unaligned with him politically to be braindead retards
He's just here in bad faith, there's literally no reason to engage if you want any kind of honest discussion. He fills the chat, then can't back himself up before fucking off.
He's got a history degree, hardly the stuff of geniuses or anyone who really performed above average in school.
We all know what they want
For everyone to wear green
Pretty much
My mum's friend is a green member.
Her husband would have been doing the campaigning and mp shit, but he has a criminal record
Green have some ok policies
And some retarded ones
