    How much does it cost to employ 315 nurses?

    Not saying he did, and I agree that you may have a point about how we spend money on housing horrific people like this. But the comparison is meaningless (and deliberately emotive for a reason) when there are so many other things that money is wasted on.

    How much does it cost to employ 315 nurses?

    Boris spaffed £50m on a bridge that never even got built. That’s about 1600 nurses I reckon. We should do the same with the Dido Harding projects...

    Strictly cnuts dancing

    I can see the appeal of something like X Factor, The Voice as it’s about giving people a break that may have some kind of discernible talent. The others though - especially like Love Island is beyond my level of comprehension. If you want to get your clunge out then just go on OnlyFans - you’ll...

    Remember 2nd April 2018 - embarrassing day

    It’s funny you know when you say that it’s almost like we needed them beatings at those points. Imagine we’d have gotten a draw out of one of those games, didn’t refocus and we got turned over by Notts County in the SF - especially bearing in mind where they ended up too.

    That was a mental day.

    He sold us Brexit - he’s off to collect the personal rewards of it elsewhere.

    When I saw him I couldn’t help but think of this.

    Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine

    Thank you - it’s certainly really helpful. I would definitely want her to have the vaccine, I’m not sure where she fits in the order of priority as it’s very adults focused from what we’ve seen so far. At the moment she is in the ‘vulnerable’ category - but not the clinically extremely...

    Edmonton police station

    Some people on social media claiming terrorism and bombs and all sorts. Just need to slow the fuck down and wait for some actual facts to emerge.

    Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine

    A question for the science bods - would this be classed as a ‘live’ vaccine? The reason I ask is that I might have mentioned my daughter is on immuno-suppressants and when we enquired about a flu vaccination for this winter, we were told she couldn’t have the ‘live’ version of it (the nasal...

    Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine

    What baffles me the most is that some of the most vociferous anti-vaxxers on Facebook have no hesitation in hoovering up 5 grams of cocaine from Big Dave up the road (that may or may not contain rat poison, chalk, baking powder and goodness knows what else) but they are up in arms about having a...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    You only have to look at some of the bizarre decisions made about students on an individual level in an effort to ‘meet the criteria’ required for government measures. Just one example that I find really detrimental for some students is when we put students that have low literacy levels (due to...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Smaller, focused assessments would make it easier for a subject like Maths where you could have an area focus (Number, Algebra or Geometry for example) rather than the 3 paper absolute lottery you get right now. To be honest - until there is definitive detail we are pissing in the wind and...

    Yes - and this is why HMI/OFSTED have to be front and centre of the scrutiny process.

    I have heard a rumour that these ‘assessments’ will be put together by the exam boards themselves and that the ones in England are doing the same behind closed doors.
