France’s greatest living author Michel Houellebecq could be about to face another investigation after the Grand Mosque of Paris complained about him saying the French simply want Muslim migrants to “stop stealing from them and attacking them.”

The US government (who rightly refused to ratify the Refugee Convention '51) pick up asylum seekers fleeing an undemocratic Communist state and deposit them back in Cuba. While Britain picks up asylum seekers from a liberal, democratic state and brings them to the UK. Let's stop doing that.

Statistics and analyses on these things are much less developed in the UK, than US, but hard to imagine any substantive differences here. Too often also, UK police support units are used to get statements from loved ones to stop any awkward political fallout.

Most speakers of English do not know the grammar of their own language because, even if they were taught it in school, they cannot understand it from outside of itself when so much has fallen into decay. When you learn any other language besides English (especially Latin and German), and then learn Old English, then you understand English better. Here are some themes which may help;

There are four noun cases in all Germanic languages (five if you include the 'vocative' when speaking to someone, but this is often the same as the nominative). These are;
• Nominative (subject)
• Accusative (object)
• Genitive (possessive)
• Dative (indirect object).

In English pronouns these take the form;
S1. I - me - my - (to) me
S2. thou - thee - thy - (to) thee
S3. he - him - his - (to) him; she - her - her - (to) her; it - it - its - (to) it.
P1. we - us - our - (to) us
P2. ye - you - your - (to) you
P3. they - them - their - (to) them

The singular second person pronouns thou, thee, thy/thine are now seen as archaic after they were once deemed too familiar and impolite, thus replaced with the plural ye, you, your forms. This has declined further with 'you' being used for almost everything, while Americanisms have since introduced a new plural form with the ungodly invention of y'all.

Nouns originally belonged to different genders and were inflected in ways like these pronouns, but these have since been lost. We now have only standardised forms of -'s for the possessive, -(e)s for plurals and -(e)s' for possessive plural, with the exception of certain words which preserved archaic forms such as sheep/sheep, ox/oxen, child/children, brother/brethren etc.

Knowing this, you can now see when and how to use the relative pronoun 'whom'. Most are familiar when to use the possessive 'whose', but 'whom' is the object (both direct and indirect) case of 'who', and therefore equivalent to 'him/her' in pronouns rather than 'he/she'. Thus;

Direct:
"This is the woman whom I love", the relative pronoun represents an object of the verb 'to love'.

Indirect:
"There are several men from whom we can choose", here the preposition from uses the indirect object or dative case, thus it would be 'from/by/with/in/for/to whom' etc. While we could also phrase it as "there are several men whom we can learn from", it is better English not to end on a preposition and insert it before the relative pronoun.

Most speakers of English also do not know when to use 'whence', 'hence', 'thither' etc. But here is a simple way to understand it;

• hither (to here) - here (at here) - hence (from here),
• whither (to where) - where (at where) - whence (from where),
• thither (to there) - there (at there) - thence (from there)

Finally, English IS a Germanic language, and it is a beautiful one at that. It may have adopted many foreign words, but the structure, grammar, morphology and core vocabulary are all Germanic. There are many tropes floating about that "English is a mix of many different languages", but this is not true at all, and seems to be propaganda aimed at deconstructing it. If you wear someone else's clothes, you are still you, and you adapt their clothes to fit your body. The same is true for languages. English is a purely Germanic language, even if it uses a very cosmopolitan vocabulary.

(PS you don't need to jump in with the history lesson, it's just an amusing clip)

It’s 50 years ago today that Last of the Summer Wine first appeared on our screens! It became the worlds longest running sit-com spanning nearly forty years, 31 series and 295 episodes and really put Holmfirth on the map!
The pilot episode was called "Of Funerals and Fish” and starred Bill Owen, Peter Sallis and Michael Bates as Compo, Clegg and Blamire, (the “original trio”) as well as Kathy Staff as Nora Batty.

Can any generalisations be made about the owners of "car washes, takeaways and nail bars" who launder the proceeds of drug trafficking and other crimes and avoid UK taxes?

Employers should only be allowed to police the public opinions (or activities) of their employees in very limited circumstances. There is no justification for this here.
