Borgen


Television

 
This week the subtitled Danish drama Borgen (16 November) started a new run. At the same time, the British television writer Paula Milne announced that she was in ­negotiations to write an English-language adaptation. Only a minority of viewers are prepared to watch foreign-language material. Milne will be reaching out to the majority; but aside from the language and the setting, what else will she have to change? The central question is what will happen to Birgitte Nyborg (Sidse Babett Knudsen), who is ambitious, somewhat ruthless, somewhat scheming, but at heart always an idealist. Will British viewers accept that in a portrait of a British politician? No matter; in the Danish Borgen, two and a half years have passed since Birgitte was bundled out of office, and there have been othe

My lover left me in 2 years ago. he did not contact me, wouldn’t answer my calls and emails, During this period I contacted many casters without results. . But I never lost hope until i got to meet this powerful caster manifestspellcast@ (yahoo). com and he did the most wonderful spell for me and after 3 days everything changed, my lover came back, his love spell works fast even in the most complex circumstances, I am recommending his love spell to every couple who wants to get back together, I can say Dr Manifest possessed all the qualities you want if you want to get your lover back, it was like a dream to me, he will solve your relationship problem.

Surely the reason for academisation is that academy chains will be easy to completely privatise into the hands of corporations.

Am Karen Lola from Scotland. I was having serious relationship problems with my boyfriend and it had resulted in him moving out to his friend’s apartment. Everything got worse because he started going to bars and strip clubs frequently with his friend, getting drunk and passing out. He always threatens me on phone whenever I call him because of all the bad advises that his friend has given him. I really love him and we had been dating for 8 years which gave us a beautiful daughter. I had also lost a lot of money on therapists until I was introduced to Dr. Trust by a friend whom he helped to marry her childhood boyfriend; this gave me total confidence and strength to get him back. I did all he asked and after 48 hours my boyfriend called me and rushed back home, things just changed between us emotionally. He has a job and stopped drinking and keeping irrelevant friends. It’s a miracle I never believed was possible because I had lost all hope until I found Dr.Trust. So that’s why I promised to share my testimony all over the universe. All thanks goes to Dr.Trust for the excessive work that he has done for me. Below is the email address in situation you are undergoing a heart break, and I assure you that as he has done mine for me, he will definitely help you too.

I am a governor of an inner London RC primary school and would be interested to know from Clifford Longley or any of your readers what powers a RC diocese has simply to decree - without the agreement necessarily of the governors - that all RC schools in the diocese become members of a Multi Academy Chain

Answers on a postcard, please !

This is an extraordinary policy. The much vaunted freedoms that academies supposedly enjoy are illusory: with Ofsted ever present to police orthodoxy no academy is going to risk ditching the national curriculum or declaring UDI over term dates. Catholic schools already have latitude over term dates: how many have term dates radically different from their community school neighbours? We are told to look forward to efficiency savings from sharing resources and staff: but if there is any substance to these they are most likely to be achieved in a close geographical grouping such as a single Local Authority. Most academy chains are already so far flung that efficiency savings are hard to come by. The policy - like the reorganisation of the Health Service after 2010 - was not in the Conservatives' manifesto and has been adopted on no other grounds than ideology, and if this is really about Education why was it announced in The Budget? Ten days earlier Nicky Morgan addressed a conference and seemed unaware the announcement was coming.
