    Not sure about that - although I wouldn’t mind. He was seen as too left-wing by the Blairite machine.

    I watched Elf this evening. Cheered me up a bit until I realised I sacked off the pile of mocks I needed to mark. Gonna watch Gremlins tomorrow - fuck the mocks it’s all gonna be CAG anyway.

    I do agree on this point. I am finding it really difficult to offer any kind of meaningful feedback during a lesson because it have to stay in my ‘box’ at the front.

    For practical subjects like yours I totally agree, this arrangement is crap and you’ve been given no proper support from exam boards, Ofqual or other organisations that should be working overtime to find a way to mitigate for this. I’m sorry I can’t agree about the mass immunity notion. We do...

    He won’t though - because he knows and you probably deep down know that they aren’t safe in terms of stopping the spread of the virus (not the effect of the virus itself). We’ve got cases soaring and would be a lot higher if there were sufficient testing facilities, and this is with these kind...

    Doesn’t need to go that far - he can just find a motorway flyover on the Kent border.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I do think there is a valid argument that any PM should be paid more than £150K. Fuck him still though, it’s not like he even pays for all his kids.

    I think we can come away with 3 points. I hope McCallum doesn’t displace Giles at this moment in time, he deserves to keep that spot.

    He did some other stuff before Coldwar Steve - Guerilla LeVell and Suez Tosh (and one more that I can’t remember the name for the life of me) but he’s taken it all down.

    I don’t know why he didn’t resist the push to a 2nd ref stance more. He and his advisers must have known that it was electoral suicide in the Northern constituencies.

    It’s not that dumb. He has no discernible strategy to deal with this crisis, his chief adviser leaks everything in the press to gauge public reaction before implementation any proposals or actions, making out that he’s empowering the common man in involving them in decision making. Can you see...
