    School Protests

    That's a more subtle opinion (or is it a fact?) than I expected from you, Tony. But still very muddled and nebulous. Boiling that down: 1. It's not wrong to offend a faith. (I agree) 2. It is wrong to deliberately set out to offend a faith sometimes. For example, it's OK to offend...

    I'm teaching algebra tomorrow - a last minute top up for a pupil who has her pretend GCSE school exam to help the teacher grade them up. I'll not give you the address in case you pitch up outside.

    School Protests

    It seems to me that Oakey believes it is a fact and disapproved of kids who thought it an opinion. I guess I'd have been in the corner wearing a conical hat.

    School Protests

    "Murder is wrong" is an opinion. It's an opinion almost universally held but it's still an opinion. "Fact" means something different. I picked this up from Google and it expresses my opinion on this better than I could: " A fact is a statement that can be proven true or false. An opinion is...

    Not all of them; have worked with lots of sensible; laid-back Muslims over the years. Worked for one for a year or so: wonderful chap. He'd previously been not very religious, even though born into it, but then became more serious about it in his 40s. He had typical Western values. I had a...

    Is Walsh injured again? He started against Rotherham on 20 March, got booked, and hasn't been even on the bench since. If he's fit - it's looking likely he'll be available. EDIT: I've done some searching. Looks like he has a hamstring injury now... so he's played circa 90 minutes of football...
