    I guess it is something we will never agree on then....

    Your own new political party

    Which gives a nice balance to your 'keep the poor people where they belong' capitalist mantra.

    Hang on... isn't this the much celebrated independent school model? Pack kids off so someone else brings them up? At least with childcare you pick them up at the end of each day... not the end of 6 weeks.

    Taking kids on holiday during term time

    Wasn't there a case not too long ago where a parent challenged a council fine and the judge said it was unenforceable (or something to that effect)? You can see why parents do it... even if you add in the cost of a fine it's still miles cheaper than going in the holidays.

    General Election

    IMO the world we now live does not possess the same type of threats that it did after WWII, Cold War, Cuban Missile Crisis. Things have evolved and as such ISIS is the No.1 threat to the world. We are not going to wipe out ISIS with a nuke. To hurt ISIS we need to cut off their funding, stop...

    General Election

    Protested against the Iraq war - he was right. Stated in a speech several years ago that if we invaded countries like Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan that if we did not put a proper infastructure in place we (and the world in general) would suffer the consequences of this - again he was right. Not...

    General Election

    At least the 2 main party leaders are getting it on the same scale now. You can't complain about May getting grief when you look at the Corbyn has been vilified. Difference is Corbyn never resorted to vicious personal insults.... that was literally May's only gameplan.

    London fire

    It is entirely possible that there may be some MP's that don't have ulterior motives. You can understand the cynicism however.

    New signing pending?

    I heard he won't come unless we re-name the city after him. The council are potentially keen on the idea.

    Can anyone explain how this is not a terrorist attack?

    I do find it bizarre why people like Robinson are given any publicity at all.. same with Farage (former leader of a party with precisely 0 MP's) and Hopkins. The xenophobic rubbish they pedal can incite people just as much.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    It's not bias - it's seeing a group of individuals leading us down a path that benefits very few people. Leaving the EU is the biggest thing this country has done in the last 50 years. For the sake of everyone it should be led up with cross party consensus and the negotiating team should be...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    At what point did I or anyone else express the view that we hated the UK? Is this how we teach tolerance and negotiation to people? By telling them that if they dare question or challenge something that they can leave?

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    You're talking shit.... Best outcome for the UK and best outcome for the Tory party clearly are not the same thing.

    If that was the case then why is the proportion of disadvantaged and SEN students that attend grammar school significantly lower than in mainstream education? They don't aid social mobility - only hinder it.

    Can anyone explain how this is not a terrorist attack?

    You do also need to put into context that the guy is not dead and in custody... so the media have to be careful that reporting to does not affect an ongoing criminal investigation.
