Who will flush the great Brexit turd?
I know some on here think British workers in those areas are ghastly xenephobic oiks, but they got what they wanted from their Leave vote

Does Twitter now default to ‘For you’ (loads of advertising and right wing shite) and ‘Following’ (tweets over which one might have exerted a minimal amount of selectivity)? Annoying if so.
Any suggestions?
Indeed the imminent thrashing of the Tories shows Brexit at work. We are governed by fools, frauds and flailing idiots. We are going to give them a terrible spanking and they will be suitably chided by this traumatic defeat. We cannot do that to the EU Commission. We cannot hand Ursula’s petite derrière to her on a Belgian plate
Thus: Brexit. The right decision
They seem to think you’re interested in right wing shite:

@HYUFD - what you said later doesn't support this, because some people never study economics, for example, to any level, and so it doesn't make much sense to include them in the denominator.
I am in the top 10% of three-ball jugglers if we include in the denominator people who don't know how to juggle with three balls. I may well be in the bottom 10% if we don't.
But if we just look at A levels, and we assume "virtually" means "more than 80%", then what *is* a reasonable estimate for x in the statement that "virtually every Russell Group student is in the top x% academically of the subject they study"?
Presumably not many students get admitted to RG universities to study a subject if they only got a B or C in it at A Level?
'Freedom disaster shambles' is, as noted yesterday, an almost perfect description.
'For you' has actually improved slightly in the last couple of days for me. Again, not sure what's done that.
It’s the buggeration factor is annoying with the only benefit is I’ve got a few pay rises because of it.
I’d definitely take Twitter’s current guidelines with a pinch of salt,
The discussion is about a badly drafted Scottish Bill that could compromise women’s rights to single sex spaces established by the Equality Act which is a U.K. wide matter and the responsibility of the U.K. government.
What’s your view on the Scottish GRR Bill?
You can't infer that from the word cloud without a lot more information.
Word clouds are quick and fun (and sure, give some indication) but you'd need to do a lot more to get any kind of rigourous analysis - ideally not using a word cloud at all, of course. Even assuming a decent sample, you need to combine the words with the same meaning (e.g. 'disaster' and 'disastrous' for remain) set out how the sizing is done, remove irrelevant phrases such as 'european union' and deal with context such (the remain cloud for example could be a big majority using many variations on 'not a' in 'not a disaster' so that 'disaster' is the only word that gets big (I don't believe this to be the case, for avoidance of doubt).
Even if the scaling is 2d-linear with mentions, 'freedom' is much less than 'most' of the size of that word cloud.
If “For You” is serving up a menu of right wing bollocks that strongly suggests you are looking for this stuff. I will be charitable and assume this is because you like to be outraged by it, then you righteously dish it up here. Which is precisely what you do
Astounding* answer by @AnthropicAI.

*Certainly interesting, anyhow.
Let's be honest, if the Tories were proposing this bill you'd be telling us how wonderful it was. You are the most partisan poster on this entire site, actually worse than HYUFD.
@SuellaBraverman says. But "insisting on recruits having degrees" - as the College of Policing is doing - is "an example of pointless red tape" which she aims to scrap.

Time to turn the tables on the gloom-mongers, and exploit the benefits of Brexit. Remember that vaccine rollout! Happy Brexit Day!

The Government is currently trying to curtail the right to protest. What could be more undemocratic than that?
So my statement that virtually every Russell Group student will be in the top 10% of the subject they study was absolutely correct
Once again, directly to ad hom.
Why is a position supported by Labour and SNP MPs a Tory one?
What do YOU think of the Scottish GRR Bill?
Or don’t you have an opinion?
Virtually every Russell Group student has an A* in the subject they study now
This issue is incredibly complicated, there is no perfect solution or answer. But I start from the position of love and compassion, not trying to vilify people to score points.
The fact some Remainers don't give a toss about the British born lowest paid doesn't change that.

Nor does a few swing voters switching from Leave to Remain
For the love of all that's holy, can we not just having a standing discussion thread for each of those and shunt them off there so non-obsessives can actually find the interesting topics.
ETA sorry HY I thought I had emboldened something but didn’t, now have.
It’s just registering in so many jurisdictions that’s the pain.
I’d say nice things about Max Verstappen if we could have passporting back.
Problem for him is I’m not convinced anyones listening anymore.
Grades AAB at A-Level. Alternatively, A-Level grades ABB including either A-Level Mathematics or Computer Science. Excludes General Studies and Critical Thinking.
Oh dear.
For a couple of years the machinery of Government was snarled up by negotiations and preparations for the Big Day. Meanwhile just about every day to day concern from Hospital Waiting Lists to Holes In The Road got put on the back burner.
That comes at a price that we are now paying.

You’re like a stranger bursting into a local boozer and shouting at the regulars: I DEMAND YOU STOP PLAYING DARTS
Of COURSE there is going to be another vote.
It's just a question of when, not if.
Durham University requires an A* in Maths or further Maths to study it.
https://www.durham.ac.uk/study/courses/g100/
I would expect even Queen Mary Maths students have a 9 at GCSE too, clearly putting them in the top 10%
You should think twice before disparaging readers. Some day you might be a writer...
I hate Brexit and everything it stands for - but I am very confident we will never have a vote to rejoin. Too divisive.
We'll end up like Switzerland.
It’s just when you operate in virtually every EU country the paperwork is a nightmare.
Unlike Zahawi we cannot have careless mistakes.
YOU WERE WRONG
. .
It is not impossible. I just can’t see the circumstances arising where it would be feasible, in the medium term
Remoaners will try and take us back in by salami slicing Brexit until it is almost meaningless, without ever going the whole hog. OGH is right
If you transitioned to the female gender at 20 years old and you'd be in that state for thirty years, do you honestly believe that person should not be able to use female toilets? You see, it is complicated.
Can I have some of your bucket of vitriol please?
The average will be A* in the subject studied, like Durham
He seems to decide to stay out of the trans debate, because he realises how utterly toxic it is. There is hope I might yet vote for your party if you're ever in a position of power.
They require a B in Computer Science, read what I said.
This is why people find you frustrating, just accept you were wrong.
Lurkers who never contribute have no right to make any demands, whatsoever
https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/ugstudy/course/Computer-Science-BSc
AAA if you have an A in computer science/computing
You are wrong!
A son of a good friend of mine got into Nottingham with ABB for Comp Sci two years ago. Ok an odd year but still.
It's not totally wrong, anyway. I'd be more interested in what Farage is saying than e.g. what Kim Kardashian says, wouldn't you?
Yes it can. For discreet data, often the most (only) sensible average to use is the median or mode (you can’t have a grade halfway between an A* and an A). If most grades are A*, both the median and the mode will be this.
Answer my question: if a man has transitioned completely to being a woman (gender), can they EVER use single sex spaces?
And if not, why not? What is the issue?
This is not correct. Since 2004 trans people, as defined in the GRA, have had exactly the same legal rights as every other group. See also the 2010 Equality Act.
@CarlottaVance does not attack trans people. But she does criticise a Bill which:-
- is poorly thought out (as Sturgeon's latest actions show)
- badly drafted
- unsupported by Scottish people - according to opinion polls
- has been criticised by 2 different UN Rapporteurs on Sexual Violence against Women and Torture
- removes existing legal safeguards for others impacted by gender recognition
- has resulted in one of her own Ministers resigning and some SNP MSPs voting against and
- has led to a potential constitutional clash with Westminster over devolution.
By some accounts there has also been a drop in SNP membership in the last 2 months while the Bill has been going through Holyrood, though that may be a coincidence.
It has also resulted in -
- the Labour Shadow Home Secretary publicly stating a view at odds with what members of the Shadow Cabinet have said in the past on the topic
- the Labour leader distancing himself from some of the Bill's provisions (suggesting a possible clash with Scottish Labour) and
- criticism of him by Labour MPs and peers and papers such as the Guardian for his failure to be tough on misogyny within the party he leads.
By any standards it is a political story worth commenting on.
It is certainly as interesting as arguments about the standards of the Brexit referendum campaigns in 2016 which are regularly - and tediously - rehashed on here.
Incidentally - and this may be relevant to any future independence referendum - the Bill gives the right to self-ID to anyone born in Scotland. During the last referendum, the vote was restricted to those living in Scotland. If there is a second referendum, will the vote be extended to those born in Scotland in the same way as for GRR. And if not, why not?
Discreet for discrete. Dearie me.
As you say even ABB was below the usual year Nottingham A level requirements
My fault for trying to post on my phone whilst locked out of my own house!
I am rapidly losing patience with you mate.
You said most degrees require an A* in the subject they study now.
I've demonstrated two where that isn't true - Nottingham arguably has the best Comp Sci department in the country besides Cambridge.
Just accept you were wrong rather than gaslighting me. I've come out to bat for you so many times but this is making me jolly annoyed.
A = 2
B = 3
etc
Calculate mean.
Convert back into grade (eg, 3.7 is between B and C, closer to a C).
Will probably give you an outcome that's as least as useful as the median, and more useful than the mode (which is very prone to being affected by data artefacts).
Sometimes it's useful to know that the expected outcome from a die roll is 3.5; sometimes it's not...
