It doesn't stifle them - teachers actively try to encourage them where they see it but with larger class sizes and the performance measurements mean the teachers are forced into spending a disproportionate amount of time with those less capable because it's all about % of passes. The problem...

Yep - you get people that believe in a two tier society and that if you're not seen as 'clever' then you're worthless and free to be exploited as those that are clever see fit.

They need to solve that leak at the back though. Got plenty in the tank for when they turn the heat on later though.

Are you having an affair with him?

I agree with you on the prevention rather than cure - if we know this is going to be a problem in the future surely it's best to just stop that problem now before it becomes one? However, I'm also of the opinion that we will work on and find ways to fix these problems over time and if we can...

I've heard if was hard to store as it tends to leak through even the smallest holes and it's also difficult to isolate. There's tons of it about but it likes to 'stick' to other stuff and those chemical bonds are tricky/expensive to break (according to a chemical engineer I know anyway -...

Where did I say I want private schools banned. A few posts before that I specifically said I wasn't necessarily for banning it. If you were paying attention you'd also notice I'd said in previous posts I'd met a number of people from that background with that attitude. That was merely one...

If said person was employed or given money by Alexander or the Major's office it is an abuse of power. If it was an affair with a subordinate it is seen as abuse of pwer (looks at the McDonalds CEO.

Bit old for that aren't they? Or has MR taken the bomb squad idea to demeaning new levels?

In a TV interview Jennifer Arcuri says she warned Boris Johnson to come clean | Daily Mail Online I was under the impression they'd said there hadn't been any affair? Or is Alexander lying yet again. And in a move than surprises no-one, he treats person like shit.

I believe so - think it was over 100 and he had more offsides than some entire teams did.

You could always tell it was his autobiography because it was always sticking out just that bit ahead of all the other books on the shelf.

There are. But it's the kids that benefit from it when they grow up that become the problem. The more generations that benefit from the privilege the more the idea that they're above everyone else sticks. For example, one of the businesses we used to audit I got to know three generations. The...

Hudson-Odoi has been very sloppy IMO. Rice just seems to stand 5 yards in front of the 2 CB's. Problem with the favouring those coming through the age groups is that it can make them complacent as they don't need to do quite as much as someone who didn't to be picked.

I'm not overly bothered about someone having more money than me. I do get a bit annoyed when that means these people get a disproportionate say in things. There is an element of jealousy for some, but the 'us and them' mentality is even stronger the other way round. Had to deal with many people...

Although I'm not necessarily in favour of banning private education I do think it should be discouraged because it fuels the 'us and them' mentality in both classes. Those that benefit from it are effectively kept in a bubble surrounded by other privileged kids who are brought up believing...

Just out of interest do you know how many of those were winter elections?

Yes that does seem a big drop but despite he new registrations I can see it being significantly lower in that age group due to weather, Xmas parties and students moving over Xmas holidays. The prediction does seem heavily weighted to look good for the Tories I must admit. Maybe it'll lead to...

Wasn't on for long but good to see some gender diversity in the commentary team. She fitted in well, keeping in the tradition of getting players names wrong - she was getting very excited about this Joe Lean fella and how she hoped he wouldn't leave for a bigger club who'd sign him just for the...
