Who is Lee Anderson and what the fuck is a vegetarian?
Who is Lee Anderson and what the fuck is a vegetarian?Anyone seen the emotional footage of Lee Anderson talking about his son coming out to him…
…as a vegetarian? Hilarious. Complete snowflake
In this case though it hasn't been, it's nothing to do with it. The only 'trade deal' the NHS was included in was our membership of the single market.I’ve only voted for one of the last 3-4 Tory governments. I voted Labour at the last 2 GE’s. Which means I’m old enough to remember Jeremy Corbyn’s dossier at the last GE showing that the Brexit Tories you rolled out the red carpet for by voting leave planned to use the NHS as a bargaining tool in trade deals. Just like the BMA warned they would. They even brought in the Brexit (you voted for) legislation the internal market bill to make sure they could by pass the devolved governments of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to bargain the entire NHS.

Read about the Norwegian changes put into place in the 90’s and of courseHow much needs to be done before jail though? Scandinavian countries have a whole different approach to childcare from the state from birth. I’d bet the inequalities are less once they hit adulthood.

It’s not rocket science it’s following the evidence and data and not political dogma
Rehabilitation Lessons from Norway's Prison System

Quite reliably told that Warwick Uni have under 50 PGCE students enrolled for next year, in total. These professions are going to collapse soon if recruitment and retention continue to be terrible regardless of how good the policy is.No totally. I just always worry that the big three domestic policy areas (health, education, police) that they’re picking up the pieces of poor social policy elsewhere first and foremost.

Teach First have barely met 50% of their trainee allocation for this year.Quite reliably told that Warwick Uni have under 50 PGCE students enrolled for next year, in total.

Preaching to the choir there my friend. Same with doctors. Doesn’t matter what anyone thinks, the market has spoken.
None taken. The pay was not worth the conditions.I’ve said before: my daughter is literally having national curriculum subjects not taught to her. With the school falling back on “we’re an academy we don’t have to follow the national curriculum”. But they openly admit it’s because they can’t find staff.
Who, of any political stripe, wants this? Honestly? Even the most right wing, libertarian, deficit hawk, surely still wants kids given an education based on what’s best not what we can scrape up from the graduate job market to put up with the pay and conditions?
(No offence intended to those currently putting up with said pay and conditions)
Under a tory government? Not one bit surprised.
it was under Blair’s government
Again, not surprised
I was wrong it’s now 8 months as courts were delayed during covid and just as a reminder 50% of those remanded leave once their case comes to court or when there case is dismissed or fallsThe Observer view: Britain’s brutal and overcrowded prisons pose a risk to us all | Prisons and probation | The Guardian

Was thinking about this all day yesterday as finished the book and then watched bbc news and the story of the mum caring for her lad with muscular dystrophy and how she can’t get respite support or care support as it costs £80/hr and nhs only pay £19.
Think I need to lie in a dark room and not allow myself to feel any emotion as there’s too much to do and change seems so impossibly hard
And then I look at the man in the mirror and think fuck what are you doing
I'm not sure that there's much you can do, mate, other than trying to do the decent thing at an individual level and highlight to others the huge injustices and cruelty where you see them.
It doesn't feel like voting will change much - Starmer has no convictions and alternative parties won't get a sniff under FPTP.
Do what you can, Pete, but don't let it get to you - you can't fix the world on your own mate.

YeahYeah, you’re obviously a decent caring man Pete. By all means do what you can but try not to let stuff outside of your control get you down
I knowGod grant me the serenity eh @Sky Blue Pete ?
No totally. I just always worry that the big three domestic policy areas (health, education, police) that they’re picking up the pieces of poor social policy elsewhere first and foremost.
Yeah, at least with Blairism (rather than Starmer's piss poor approximation of it) he genuinely did want to do something about the causes "tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime" etc.

My own school is cutting KS3 subjects as it can’t staff them - with OFSTED looming not sure how wise that is but we’ll see.I’ve said before: my daughter is literally having national curriculum subjects not taught to her.

Mrs BSB works in a private school and they struggle to get applicants even there. She’s now also committing to trying to leave the profession.My own school is cutting KS3 subjects as it can’t staff them - with OFSTED looming not sure how wise that is but we’ll see.
There is no real benefit to any of this approach from the Tories, in the same way I don’t think that the academy approach kickstarted by Blair benefitted schools as funding disappeared into CEO and ‘consultant’ roles and even now the remaining local authority schools perform better than academy schools.
Politically no matter where you sit having a piss poor education system is of no benefit, but that’s where we are headed despite the best efforts of those still mad enough to be in the profession.
I think in the next 3 years we will see a school somewhere forced to permanently close as it can’t staff and operate safely, and it won’t be the last.

The state school I was in before my current one was already relying heavily on agency staff to fill the timetable, can’t imagine what state it’s in now.
The ironic thing about it is that after 13 years of austerity (and even the seedlings of it in the last Labour government), the tax burden on your average Joe is higher than ever. What was the actual objective of it? I wonder whether the UK media will ever examine its own role in propagating a lot of the utter myths associated with it. In particular the alleged public service broadcasters.
