    London fire

    I heard the housing minister on Radio 5 and Radio 4 this morning. Unhelpfully answered virtually no questions and referred back to the robotic 'lessons will be learned' Was interesting to hear him challenged on why the Tories blocked the bill on privately rented accommodation last year.... but...

    left wing agitation and John Mcdonnell

    I can tell you I have spoken to parents in my school that do exactly this. As well as having to choose between feeding themselves and putting money on a gas or electric meter so they can keep warm or wash their children in the winter.

    Becomes a Hitler sympathiser in order to make a shit point about Labour. It's like an interactive Daily Mail front page...

    left wing agitation and John Mcdonnell

    The Labour Party would actually do something about the 10K homeless former soldiers rather than the Tory's paying lip service whilst rewarding bankers with bonuses after 2008 and selling off the NHS to their mates.

    Attempted coup in Turkey

    Don't the DUP believe that the world is only 6000 years old? Will you be equally horrified when your beloved Tories go into collaboration with them?

    Films Not As Good As The Books ?

    Agree that the Hobbit is relatively accessible... but it's a huge jump to LOTR

    left wing agitation and John Mcdonnell

    No he didn't - he made his comments in relation to May not be able to put together any semblence of a government to rule... and 2 weeks later she's not any further along. If he really was trying to use the tragedy don't you find it strange that not one of those papers that you referenced made...

    left wing agitation and John Mcdonnell

    Trying to suggest that McDonnell is whipping up a frenzy on the back of a tragedy is ridiculous. There are valid questions that need answering - would you feel the same if it was someone in your family that died? If you want to discuss agitation generally then lets just put up a compendium of...

    Films Not As Good As The Books ?

    Tolkein's works are another example of this - his world was so expansive that you would never be able to put it all into a film unless you were looking at 20+ hours of film, but by making the films they allowed people to access the story that many never would otherwise. I think they did a...

    Your own new political party

    Full-time childcare has become a part of the world we live in. And most of the time it is used for neccesity.. not beacuse a parent wants to 'dump' their child in there. The cost of it often exceeds that of a mortgage - so if you are a single parent you are faced with the choice of working and...

    Taking kids on holiday during term time

    I agree with this entirely - especially as being part of a school that has a big push on 'enrichment' - they are lots of students that regularly miss whole days or part days for these activities... so in the grand scheme of things missing a week to spend with your family is nothing IMO.

    Your own new political party

    Yes - but a lot of these schools offer full boarding... my point was that surely putting a child in a boarding school is no different to putting them in full time childcare.
