Every cloud.

I think she did end up in prison IIRC.

True, but I’m talking about kids who didn’t pass their 11+. My eldest is in a tight group of about six girls, of them only three including my daughter are from Hillmorton, of them 3 1 wasn’t in catchment at the time and as of last year none of them are anymore and none of the six passed their 11+.

You’ve pretty much just described the school system there. Catchment area doesn’t mean a fat lot anymore, unless it’s an underfunded, failing school in a deprived area that no one is trying to get its kids into. We moved a few years ago and the people we sold our house too brought it because it...

There’s also a correlation between the two though.

I never said there wasn’t.

Firstly, no it doesn’t because it’s only talking about people from state education, not people from private and state education combined. Secondly it follows the trend of every demographic that you’re chances of going to university has increased regardless of ethnicity. It also doesn’t...

What people also need to recognise is what their children are currently experiencing in school isn’t a reflection on the opportunity to become a judge now. For instance, I think you can become a Magistrate at 18 IIRC but the vast majority are over 30 and even over 50. So these people were most...

You’re actually ignoring the problem by highlighting a solution. You’re talking about your daughter going to a school where there’s integration and as a result you would hope more equal opportunity. You’re living in a snapshot of your own personal experience and thinking that translates into...

You started of really well in that post asking the right questions. Then went to rat shit. It’s not in area’s where the country is reasonably well integrated where the real issue is. It’s in areas of cities that are deprived, underfunded, majority black populace, going to schools that are...

Same as my daughters schools. But then I live in Rugby and not a deprived area of a city where the schools for that catchment area are attended by a majority black populace. Not sure what your point is.

Perhaps ADM this is actually a measure of inequality in the education system between black and white kids meaning that as a reflection of that there’s a disproportionately low number of black kids going to university meaning that there’s a disproportionately low amount of black people with a...

Just been reading up on this following a comment that Piers Morgan made on Twitter about it. It seems that Colin Kaepernick actually got the idea from a former Green Beret. It seems that this is something Green Berets do during the national anthem to honour their fallen colleagues. So there was...

That’s about the size of it.

Auf Wiedersehen sweetheart.

Just bin it already and buy one from a competent foreign government like South Korea.

Must be a full refit if that’s true. Why at this moment in time it’s required god only knows. Serious detachment from reality. Talk about fiddle while Rome burns.

Have you not heard? It’s dying out. On a serious note you can only look back in history to the last world pandemic to get even the slightest insight into that. That’s the Spanish Flu world pandemic from 100 years ago. That took 3 years before some sort of heard immunity became possible forcing...

Or why he’s planning on spanking the best part of £1M rebranding the corporate jet. More important things to spend the money on.

It’s a zoonotic disease. That’s the link.
