The United Arab Emirates has restricted funding for its citizens who want to study at British universities, the latest sign of tensions over the UK’s decision not to proscribe the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood group.

Abu Dhabi’s decision to exclude UK institutions from a list of universities eligible for state scholarships comes as relations between the two historic allies have frayed in recent years.

In June, the UAE higher education ministry published a list of global universities for which scholarships would be approved and qualifications certified, as part of reforms that limited funding to the best-performing institutions.

The list included universities in countries including the US, Australia, Israel and France, but not the UK, which is home to many of the world’s top academic institutions.

The exclusion of British universities is linked to anxiety in the UAE over what it sees as the risk of Islamist radicalisation on UK campuses, according to three people familiar with the matter.

But he does, he dragged his feet and responded after every other politician in NYC with the softest possible condemnation.

That's why I almost didn't post it.

Again I ask, why do immigration officers have fucking guns? 

If there is a threat to officers, then they should request a police presence. Police are trained to deal with violent offenders. Immigration officers are not.

The social media content that immigration officers are contractually obligated to film doesn’t hit as hard if they aren’t pointing guns in people’s faces. It literally just comes down “ooh rah look how strong we are!!”

It does get at why it’s such an off putting community. There’s nothing stopping them from doing any of that. So, you could infer the act itself isn’t what they want. The motivation is to demand validation and compliance from strangers.

[HaughtyFrank]

Imagine being this far gone where you cheer on a foreign regime to kill their own people

Seems like a generally insane person

But he does, he dragged his feet and responded after every other politician in NYC with the softest possible condemnation.

True, but funny that it still pissed so many people off

Yes, but why?

[Ribosome]

Trouble in the Musk harem?

[benji]

Because you already did get your childhood. Notice as always how the "being their true self" is subscribing to awful stereotypes.

Yes, but why?

Because they're cops. You want them to look like losers around all the other cops who are decked out with cool stuff?

Because interpreting Title IX is an appropriate form for an executive order (considering Biden had done it the other way) and the other requires at the very least legislation that passes constitutional muster first?

Remember the progressive campaigns against gendered toys of the 2000s and early 2010s? Now boys who want to play with dolls are actually girls. This is very progressive.

I remember when "feminists" like on Jezebel would post pictures of the Barbie aisle at the store being all pink and how this was the greatest patriarchal sin.

Now the peak of "girlhood" is something like putting pink wigs on these guys and having them pointing at the aisle:

[Polident]

I’m lost on which wave of feminism that was but the two directions to follow were that. And the other is women saying “uh, actually we like pink and high heels and attractive people”.

One could imagine what the Amy Schumer Barbie movie was going to be.
