    All I know is they taste crap because it’s not proper chocolate. What that adds to the issue I don’t know.

    What made it worse before the U turn it had gone public that the Tories had whipped their MP’s to NOT change it.

    Good to see Marcus Rashford force the government to U turn.

    I don’t disagree with you at all, but there are still barriers for those that are keen to engage. Some people believe that the responsibility for a child’s education lies SOLELY with the school, and it’s hard enough having to address this when school is open as normal - never mind in the middle...

    Once you move to remote online learning then it does start to create issues. Access to the internet, houses sharing only 1 or 2 devices (especially if parents are working at home too) - the fact the government had to suggest they’d fund equipment for kids at home means that it was going to be a...

    What's everyone watching while on 'lockdown'?

    20 years ago I worked for Levi’s and we spent one afternoon scrolling through the worldwide phone list and discovered a colleague that worked in the Asia territory called Fanny Pong.

    It’s a bit like the time I listened to the Education Secretary talk about how the government are investing record levels of funding in schools. Now I know as an absolute measure he is right. That amount of money is the largest - what he fails to mention is that is because the numbers of people...

    It’s not really a debate though is it? You believe the model you are referring to is without flaw. Your dismissal of ‘anecdotal data’ means that you won’t change your mind either. Some countries have moved beyond assessing a countries ‘success’ based on financial metrics alone. I believe this...

    He’s liking hard.... maybe me Brighton and Tony are going to have to step our game up.

    Firstly it’s one dimensional - and I don’t believe it should be used as a single measure to decide on inequality. Secondly, as Dreamer said - it can be skewed by extremes at either end - even during the Cov-ID crisis we are hearing about the vast increase in personal wealth for some people - no...

    There is no such thing as Corbynomics - just a nonsense phrase made up by people like you to discredit a different way of financial thinking without having to do any critical analysis.

    I have - I don’t agree with trench’s assertion that communism and socialism are the same thing. He won’t change his opinion and neither will I. Nor do I agree with his assertion on the measure of inequality - but again neither of us will be changing our opinions anytime soon.

    As a mathematician I’m well aware of the manipulation of statistics to say pretty much anything you want it to.

    You don’t need my definition to answer the question - you are just deflecting as per usual.

    So you think the Tories have reduced inequality? Based on what measure?

    George Floyd

    Don’t over complicate it. The Tories entered parliament after successfully convincing the public that the global financial crisis was the fault of Labour (which it wasn’t - even the Tory chancellor said as much). They then implemented years of austerity. So after that how did they improve the...
