I mean I did go to one but yes you crack on
You've got this weird obsession with my background, my upbringing and my parents. Like fuck am I telling you any more.
I didn't go to private school.
And I told you I'm not giving you any more information on my background because you're a creepy weirdo.
Just garbled rambling nonsense.
As usual you've got zero point other than some sort of dig at my upbringing.
Oh right, that's why you started off by asking me what school I went to and mentioned your apparent point zero times then. Makes sense.
Top WUM to be fair, it's got a lot of people raging.

Private schools are not meritocratic or academically selective to anywhere near the same extent as a grammar as you well know of course.

The nation's gold
how much of it were you entitled to? Honestly, the nation is not a household and does not need to sell bonds, gold or anything else to raise £.

As the nation is not a household, tell the government to fuck off and leave my income for me manage and use then. Fuck collectivism Which seems like a one way street to me. Why should anyone else me entitled to any of my income?The nation's gold
The Nation‘s assets‘ could and should have been better managed and utilised for the nation’s and citizens benefit By governments of all political persuasions.

I see energy prices are going to be heading in the opposite direction to those promised by the Labour government.
Fan fucking tastic. Conned and lied to again by a bunch of charlatans.

You’ve been hyped up on a pledge dating back to 2022 where Labour said that if they were in government they’d have fixed the rate for the upcoming winter period into 2023 at an average of £1970.00. They didn’t make that pledge in their election manifesto so no one lied to you other than various Tories who have been doing the rounds claiming otherwise, specifically referring back to that pledge. You’re getting wound up over a lie. Don’t believe me? Here’s a conservative backed think tank telling you that the Tories are lying to you
Claims Labour pledged to freeze energy bills appears to refer to old policy - Full Fact
Labour pledged to keep energy bills frozen in response to rising prices in 2022. It did not make any such promise in its recent election manifesto.

Secondly as the article you linked tells you the raise is 1%. Inflation is currently running at 2.6%. This is a below inflation rate and if you want to be pedantic about it that means in real terms it is a cut. Also worth pointing out that this keeps the price cap below half of what it peaked at under the tories.
So in essence, you are being conned and lied to by a bunch of charlatans. You just don’t seem to understand who the charlatans are in this case.

Her claims around the reform of OFSTED for example are nothing but cosmetic. The one word overall ‘judgment’ doesn’t appear on a website as a header, but the same judgements by category are still there.
The culture of judgements and the practice of the organisation has not changed one bit - it’s still toxic as ever, just not as obvious to outsiders.

Only a cut if real terms pay rises are greater than 1% across the board.A couple of things.

Maybe the Labour Party should have been explicit about the expiry of the pledge. When I have some time I will do some more research but I’m sure I’ve seen reference to it more recently than 2022. But then, its like a lot of what they said pre election, all to protect the mythical “Ming vase”.
It is so easy, and so empty, to tell the world what you would do when you don’t have the power to actually do it. So misleading not to clearly admit that.
I think this makes the chicanery even more obvious. Duplicitous Cunts the lot of them.
