They are also banned or being banned in multiple Muslim countries - eg all the central Asian states. Because they know, better than us, the attitudes and politics that come with the burqa, and they are not goodFrance and other European countries have implimented it not least for security issues"Badenoch considers burka banNo, live and let live. If women, or men, want to wear a burqa why not ?
Tories understood to be ‘looking closely’ at merits of veto on face coverings as part of a review of Islamism"

Poignantly, I saw a woman in a full burqa today, not far from my flat. I cannot know her inner state but her body language expressed great unhappiness. Weighed down by these hideous deathly black shrouds. I do not believe any woman under 60 - if any - would voluntarily wear these appalling garments, They are symbols of misogyny and TOOLS of misogyny

Re: What would Ronald Reagan think? – politicalbetting.com
Full fact has a different take to the less than impartial one presented here.If you add in 2025 data though will look a lot different.It's been done:The doctor's case is very simple.I see doctors now take the hypocritic oath.I'm sure there is some justice in the doctor's case. But we all know that they'll finish up rich. My GP, who's a nice chap. often spends time in our consultations asking about my financial views. (Fair enough of course as I am very very very wise about such things. Well maybe.)
26% for me and 2.75% for thee:
Hundreds of British Medical Association employees are going on strike this weekend, accusing the “hypocritical” union of underpaying its own staff while demanding a 26 per cent rise for doctors.
Nearly 500 office-based employees at the doctors’ union will strike for 48 hours on Friday and Saturday, after being offered a below-inflation pay rise of 2.75 per cent for this year.

They want their pay today to be the same as it was before the Great Financial Crash Austerity, uprated by RPI.
Your opinion on whether this is justified will depend on your opinion of inflation index calculation, your opinion on whether doctors were overpaid prior to austerity, what has happened to averages wages since the Financial Crash, whether you think the country can afford well paid doctors, or maybe has to choose between more doctors and higher pay for doctors, etc.
I've been meaning to compare doctors pay to average earnings, etc, but haven't got around to it yet.
Thats missing i think a 22% rise over 24/25 and backdated for 23/24?

Israel claims that Iran presents an existential threat.
Regardless of Iranian threats, that is clearly nonsense. Israel has nukes and the backing of the US.
However for the first time in its existence, it is facing a possible existential threat, namely the removal of US support.
Israel is a small country of about 10 million people without significant natural resources, surrounded by enemies. It needs the US.
The polls in the US are moving decisively against support for Israel, particularly among the young.
I don't think Israelis, the majority of whom support the war against Iran, are aware of this potential threat.
