ATRL Moderator Unoriginal Posted July 17, 2022 ATRL Moderator Share Posted July 17, 2022 tom's question to penny was valid, she can push party unity as much as she wants (which i don't think is necessarily a bad idea for her campaign) but she needs to set out at least some plans to keep her momentum, particularly considering she wants to pivot so much of the focus to the challenges the everyday person faces liz is dead in the water at this point. she's weak in the debates and even she knows it. i don't think her pointing it out will be the #relatable moment she thought it would be tom still isn't impressing me but it seemed he was less focussed on soundbites without a live audience kemi was the standout for me again rishi was weak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanRickman1946 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 (edited) From his Twitter: China and the Chinese Communist Party represent the largest threat to Britain and the world’s security and prosperity this century. Read this thread on how I will face down China : 1.I would close all 30 of China’s Confucius Institutes in the UK - the highest number in the world. Almost all UK government spending on Mandarin language teaching at school is channelled through university-based Confucius Institutes, thereby promoting Chinese soft power. 2. I will build a new international alliance of free nations to tackle Chinese cyber-threats and share best practice in technology security. 3. I will expand MI5’s reach to provide greater support to British businesses and universities to counter Chinese industrial espionage.We’ll work across government and with security services to build a toolkit to help companies protect their intellectual property 4. I will protect key British assets. That means examining the need to prevent Chinese acquisitions of key British assets including strategically sensitive tech firms --- I don't like Rishi Sunak or the Chinese government. I also think it is a good idea to make sure key assets are owned by the local government and not foreign ones. However, I also think that shutting down Government-funded schools is awful. What other public institution will he shut down and sell off to private companies? Edited July 26, 2022 by AlanRickman1946 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GipJo Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Politicians talk the big talks during campaign and would not fulfill their promises once they made it. Instead of blurring the public focus by talking about China, UK government should really focus on improving the actual economy of UK and its people's everyday life.

Robert Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 (edited) As if closing language centres will help, I used to work with the Confucius Institute a lot and had positive experiences. I don’t think they are infiltrating the UK through Mandarin classes and Chinese Paper Folding classes. Protecting assets is good but considering tories are parties of landlords they will do little about the number of properties being bought up by international buyers (they literally have flat viewings for buy to let only new builds for my city in Singapore and Hong Kong) as it’s quick money and they never think long term or about the working class.
