To be clear, some of what you write isn’t OK. But think you have at least some lines not to cross

Yep homophobia and racism are not ok.

But I will call a spoon a spoon

Where out of interest is the homophobia I must have missed this in all the excitement

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Ironic that Grendel cries about all the ‘lefties sticking up for each other and attacking him’ yet defends homophobia and death wishes just because it was a right winger who posted it.

Good to see where his morals are at. Eagerly anticipating him whacking the thesaurus and spark notes to craft another pseudo-intellectual rant about how the ‘lefties’ are all to blame.

 

[David O'Day]

Anyway even after the 50 page document it's still not very clear.

Perhaps I should just quote a phrase by Charles Darwin and pretend it’s mine

Beep beep beep. Attention this opinion is reversing.
So basically you’re saying that you didn’t even read his “coherent” posts.

 

[Walsgrave]

Privately educated wankers like Brighton telling the factory workers that they're cuints/out of touch. Fuck off labour

Firstly calm down.

Secondly, one reason why I'd suggest your 'mates' are getting beaten to jobs by foreigners is because they adopt this attitude where they think that jobs in TESCO are below them. That needs to change. One could retort that at least these TESCO scum have a job.

There's plenty of jobs in agriculture requiring their help. Go on, encourage them to do the jobs that foreigners have taken from them all along

It would be better than defending someone on a homophobic drunken rant that even a drunken ranty Mel Gibson would be ashamed of.

 

[Ian1779]

You were giving him the Samaritans number knowing full well that would increase hostility and told him to piss off and Ian used the C word as well - at least it made for some amusing reading - David is far more offensive to virtually everyone but oddly is excused

Seriously? That’s your take on it? I responded to something Brighton said, no reference to him whatsoever and then he comes bowling in with his insults. Yes I did call him a C*** and maybe I shouldn’t have done but the fact you are even attempting to justify his position (when he didn’t even have one) says everything about you.

He used the word 'foggott' which I assume meant faggott.
Are you trying to get him off on a technicality?!

Back on topic. It seems this outbreak in South Korea is down to one fella who was carrying the virus and visited 5 nightclubs in a night.
Just shows what we're up against with this thing and I think stories like this will be definitely taken into account when the government are considering reopening pubs etc.

5 nightclubs in one night, must of been one hell of a night lol

I've expressed as much both in surveys carried out by the school and to the (new) head of department but there isn't a great deal that can be done simply because my timetable is the heaviest among my colleagues and I am by far the least experienced. I was already burned out coming into the lockdown and now the requirements around making online lesson materials/marking/chasing/running a club are too much. Plus there are the types who want to show off their whizziness with remote learning which creates an added pressure.

With the missus in a very similar situation the Brighton household is a bit of a tense one. We're in front of a screen for the vast majority of the day which doesn't help.

Thought I’d give a more considered reply without it being hijacked...

Your employer has a duty of care to ensure your welfare as well as the students. They have to provide conditions of work that keep you ‘safe’ even if you are remotely working - and that includes a reasonable amount of workload. Do you have a union rep in your school? It would be worth both of you contacting them and sharing your experience. Is your head of department approachable? (They should be if they are a decent one)

The people doing the whizzy, fancy online learning stuff - just let them get on with it. Don’t try and compete with them or feel under pressure to do the same. There will always be people like that - most with the best of intentions for the kids, and a few that simply do it to make themselves look good at the expense of others.

Take care and there’s always some ‘lefties’ on here to chat to if it gets too much.

Anyway grendal seems to be ok with calling people faggots.

He's a sad man

In his defence he was referring to “lazy teachers” the actual meaning of faggot is a lazy indolent person I believe

 

[The coventrian]

Oh look,the professionally offended labour wankers are out in force. Ooh he called someone a faggot,so what. Man up ffs you bunch of girls. Virtue signaling leftie tossers.

Thanks for all of that, head of dept said as much this morning. It’s just a perfect storm of things and with everything remote I have no means of perceiving what is and isn’t standard or excessive. I just don’t feel able to do what I think is the minimum.

Don't you get it? You are everything you hate.

You claim everyone is permanently offended, a a snowflake.

Take a look in the mirror, there's only one person who is offended and throwing an almighty tantrum.

Calm down snowflake.

Of course - it’s a completely unique situation for our profession. I think as well it can be made worse by the school/MAT you are part of. My wife and I work for different trusts and while mine has a lot of issues in it they have recognised that staff welfare and working from home is the most important thing (apart from the welfare of the kids obviously) so they have backed off with all the excessive stuff. My wife’s MAT however are using this time to overtly obsess with their ‘corporate image’ and making teachers complete onerous tasks in the name of uniformity and ‘consistency’

Now you’ve spoken to your HOD it’s their responsibility to act on your behalf.

Yes. That's what the semi literate drunken oaf meant!!

 

[Deleted member 5849]

I think not what have I said that’s not serious? The mistake I make is to keep visiting this car crash rather than leave you all to fight each other - any attempt at serious discussion gets nowhere

Have you taken on the spirit of Astute?

This was used when defending a coventry player for using the term on this very forum

He’s also a massive virtue signaller, constantly going on about how he doesn’t attend games.

And he’s in a cushy overpaid job with extra time off thanks to unionisation.

The self loathing must be intense.

I like his approach today- he’s sick of taking a daily beating & has no way of sticking up for the govt any more so is starting out on the wind up right from opening bell, get a bit of ‘revenge’, admirable enough & It’s working so far with people replying. The argument is flawed a bit by referring to it being a mistake coming on- he spends his entire life on here and is the most addicted poster of all

Yep it seems to me he's become everything he claims to hate.

Still no need for the homophobia though

Definitely got a issue with his own lack of formal education.
He needs to deal with it. Sounds like he's done ok for himself.
And I say this as someone who left school with 4 cses.
