"Not "the UK". Schools are a devolved matter, so Westminster has no say in what's taught outside England."

Not technically true. Nothing in the Scotland Act prevents Westminster from imposing legislation on Scotland with prior approval. There's just a tacit convention on both sides that Westminster won't actually do…

It's like how Gay marriage was barely a new story over here. Compared to the U.S, it went through Parliament as more of an afterthought than anything else. It wasn't even close (400 to 175 in favour)

Did you not read the actual article?

"Back in 2012, the UK government banned all future free schools from teaching creationism as science, requiring them to teach natural selection. At the time, however, it didn't extend those requirement to academies, nor did the changes apply to existing free schools. The new…

To be fair we only spend £4 million a year on homeopathy, which is frankly peanuts compared to the total NHS budget. We probably spend more on tongue depressors

We'd rather have Canada back, except maybe the French bits. Bloody French...

A man can dream. You want your kid to get a religious education, you pay for it. It is not the state's job to provide religious education to your kid. Take your kid to church/mosque/temple etc on your own time.

There aren't many 'hateful atheists' in the U.K. Atheists have won. The UK is one of the most godless countries in the world. The only time people get pissed off is when the religious portion of the country (which is steadily becoming a minority) try and push their faith on others.

He's taking the piss. You'll get used to it after a while over here.

An official church which hardly anyone below the age of forty attends. It's quite cunning actually, pick the most moderate, bland theological school to be the established church and you effectively deny extreme groups from gaining any standing in the running of the state. The convention has worked pretty well for over…

We fought several wars over it. The entire point of the establishment of the Anglican church was to pick the most moderate form of Christianity present in the country and give it centre stage. While we don't have a codified constitution guaranteeing separation, the CoE has always been set up as what is acceptable for…

I live in the UK, where it's marketed under the budweiser name. It took me years to realise that there were two different budweiser's. I kept wondering why half the time it was delicious, and the other half terrible

Budweiser Burgabau dates back to the 18th century and is named after the town of Budweis. So yeah, Budvar is a couple of decades later than Budweiser, but it more like an appellation control thing.

Oh and American Budweiser isn't beer.

Yet real Budweiser (Budvar) is delicious.

Four days and that was the best you could come up with?

Picnicking on a fucking bridge? Btw, calling anyone a pleb automatically makes you look like an arse.

But does it pass the replicator test?

I used to walk the mile to school by the age of 6. Last time I checked, I'm not dead. In fact the worst that happened was that I occasionally got rained on. Even your 'crazy' example isn't black and white.

Do I win a prize? I prefer cash prizes. Ideally in the form of a giant cheque

Might this have something to do with the fact that they haven't been using female lab rats? My guess is yes.

When did saying that perhaps we shouldn't be content with companies breaching our privacy become hipster?
