We did the Industrial Revolution and both world wars. I vaguely remember touching on the empire in primary but that was mainly because we did a class trip to a Victorian school museum (in Warwick IIRC) where they had us dress in period costumes and have lessons about how great the empire is...

It’s nothing about bashing, it’s about learning from past mistakes and not burying your head in the sand. Should Germany brush off what they did in WW2? You seem to be saying that they should otherwise they’re weird and bashing their own. Warped thinking.

That’s because we don’t teach history in the UK where we are the baddies. History in the schools only purpose is to promote the UK inventing everything, modernising the world and being on the right side of history. In stark contrast teaching about the holocaust and Nazi’s is mandatory in Germany...

Probably the least surprising twist in this whole sorry affair.

Not really. Blair announced he wouldn’t run for a fourth term ahead of the 2005 GE and that he expected Brown to take over from him. Labour won a majority under the expectation that Brown would be PM in the next parliament. Sunak on the other hand…

I think it came to light when Truss was forced out that there’s no limit on the number of times they can replace their leader while in power. But it would be beyond ridiculous if they forced another new PM on the country without a GE. IIRC more of the UK population voted for the posties to go on...

If they’re going to force him out he needs to call a GE before they get to do that.

So Rishi Sunak as chancellor cut the budget for repairing concrete in schools by 50%. The only way this could be worse for him is if he was education secretary before he was chancellor.

Just add milk and butter cheese cake mix. Used to love them as a kid.

They’ve known about it since 2018 when a school roof collapsed. Although in reality they knew about it before then. RAAC only ever had a design life of 30 years so successive governments should have been addressing this issue for decades. God knows why we were still using it on construction of...

Who’s scared? You? No one I know is scared. Sounds like the government is going to be proactive for a change so well done them. Pretty sure that the NHS has been overwhelmed for over a decade now, be nice if the government started being proactive about that for a change.

Putin must be shaking in his boots at this appointment

Is Grant Shapps the one who used to sell get rich quick schemes on the internet under numerous alias’?

There’s a gap in the market. I’ll get my coat

Muslamic ray guns part 2, ray gun harder.

His co defendant Jenna Ellis seems to be enjoying the experience Who does she think she is? Pablo Escobar? Although it’s a well known fact that Pablo legitimately won an election.

The only thing that got blocked was the tunnel when me and you walked back to the Tesco car park ;)

Think that was Shepardo.

Some masked men claiming to be Wagner mercenaries have released a video promising revenge. Perhaps not totally unexpected perhaps and who knows how many will get behind them but at the least Putin has probably promoted some domestic terrorism to some extent.

I don’t get the resistance to getting the vaccine boosters. You’re basically saying I’m going to rely on getting immunity from catching it on a regular basis, think I read you have to catch it three times a year to gain the same immunity as the booster. If that’s right why not just get the...
