Worryingly I was fascinated by ‘boarding school tales’ when I was very young.

I’m also very unsure about San Freedman’s credentials in all of this.
Running to the bookies for Mikey Gove doesn’t cut it for me.

Yes

It is often the case when criticism centres on lack of consistency that either:
A) the matter being deemed inconsistent is because it always has been and/or always will be
B) the person delivering the verdict couldn’t think of anything else to say

Stella, the walk from the cafe on Llandudno West Shore to Conwy and then around the other side of the estuary is dog and people paradise at all but high tide👍

I truly believe that the monolith called football has an awful lot to do with the state of many things.

Yes and there are more clear ‘disconnects’. Easy fixes for any government that isn’t owned.
The ownership of utilities and transport
The influence of private wealth over public policy
The remuneration and conduct of politicians and advisers.

Look out for more former BBC people appearing as Reform Council Leaders. Ideal breeding ground for demented Zionist fascists.

Yes I do.
We had a great time and loads of rounders. PE, Art and Drama. Nobody was watching.
Was it better?
More productive?
I have no idea.
But what fun we had.
Not sure we will ever know.

I have no time for LibDems having experienced coalition. But just think if they were overtly racist, had a fraction of the seats and fought like rats in a sack, they would be plastered over the media every day.

Thing that amazes me is that if you put a dozen of the right-thinking people in a room, we (coz I know we are), could very much improve the offer we make to children everywhere. We could help create a system where they were encouraged to think, imagine and be curious and critical.
So guess what…!😮💨

Like Alex (Boris) Johnson and a million others like him?
I get your point, but like all centrists you only choose to see a bit of the point rather that the substantial part that is buried deep releasing its poison.

The one who makes me laugh is Sam Freedman. All he did was run to the pie shop for Gove. Now he is a leading educationalist😂

Much as he is hated, (still) he would have been the only Prime Minister since Thatcher who actually believed in stuff. And the only one in my lifetime who believed in the right stuff.
So I’m sorry you think I’m aggressive. But truth is I still feel the total betrayal he endured.
