Most schools have the potential to be decent provided they are staffed and funded correctly. As you mentioned before the resources have simply dried up meaning that teachers are being ask to do the impossible, without the infrastructure in place to give everyone the means to be successful...

Everyone should be on level playing field, so give all schools the same exemptions as clint referred to. Also qualifications should be the same in independent school as they are in state. However the independent sector has been allowed to 'opt-out' of the new GCSE's that all the state ones had...

First of all - the figures that you’ve used are not accurate, merely the point of view of a government trying to tell you that everything they are doing is amazing. They are manipulated, and if you just take a look around you it’s evident that their claims of prosperity are farcical. The press...

They are bollocks based on the simple notion that figures have been omitted, manipulated and in some cases the measures changed in order to tell a story.... the very definition of statistics. Take the employment/unemployment figure. Someone who works 1 hour a week in a zero-contract job is...

The fact we have more people than ever using food banks, as well as more homeless people than ever suggests that those employment and wage 'statistics' are nothing short of complete bollocks.

For this iteration of the Matrix at least....

I'd suggest that most of the written press and the BBC are more than happy to step up and do that for her.

The only thing she had to say to the other parties was that she had no intention of making any adjustments. People need to stop defending her (I'm not necessarily suggesting you are)

It’s the profits first plan. Forget sovereignty, being in charge of our own destiny etc etc... it’s all about the money....

What I mean is that I don't understand the complexities of what is/isn't anti-Semitic statements, as Jewish people can't seem to even agree on this. Having an understanding of the overview of what has occurred is not the same. I think you are misconstruing here a little bit. He should not be...

So you are seriously saying that he had allegations against him for something completely different because he was trying to raise awareness of anti-Semitism? The process for dealing with claims of anti-Semitism is clear. It is dealt with by the General Secretary, not the Leader of the Party...

I think it’s just something different. It didn’t have the same impact that other Black Mirror episodes had (Hated in the Nation, Black Museum are my 2 favourites) but I enjoyed the uniqueness of it rather than it necessarily being in keeping with the Black Mirror theme as such.

What episodes have you watched? Or are you talking about Bandersnatch still?

I got that kit for my birthday a couple of years ago. It was pretty straightforward and the beer was pretty good out of it!

Anti-Semitic behaviour needs to be wiped out of all political parties there is no doubt about that. The appointment of a new general secretary to deal with the shamblolic process and the backlog that arose means that these are now being dealt with, albeit not as quickly as people would except...

No one is criticising you for questioning Labour at all, certainly not me. I’m merely questioning the definition of prudence. We should be vehemently looking at investing in education, welfare and the NHS, in fact that should be a priority over nearly everything else. But the reality is it’s...

Is spending 200 billion on HS2 prudent so that wealthy businessmen can get to London 7 minutes quicker (as they are the only ones that can afford train tickets these days)? Is spending 100+billion on a nuclear weapon system prudent when we cant stop a 4ft drone that closes our airspace for 3...

If they ever go for Cooper that will be the end of them, which is probably exactly what you want. No wonder you’re so keen to push this nonsense.

It always makes me laugh that people want to know how we fund the NHS, the education or welfare system. No one ever bothers to ask how we fund our ventures into war, or corporation tax relief, or things like HS2 or Trident. And it’s supposedly the left that have their priorities misaligned....

As I explained to Grendel - it’s an outlier compared to every other organisation that has Lab level or ahead. Still You Gov have a story to tell I suppose and Grendel laps it up!
