Have any of the lefties on here been following the Labour conference?

[Hindsight]

In the next few years there must be a big wakeup call in education because the ill effects of home schooling and impossibly inflated exam grades are going to create some trauma. Coupled with this, the universities are madly scratching to fill courses with students presenting impossible grades.
The best investment for young people today is in an HGV course. Pay will soon be above that of doctors and many of them are vastly overpaid.

You sure the pay is that good! My 23 year old niece drives a tipper. Pay is £13 hour with recently introduced £1000 retention bonus after 12 months. She is better than my daughter same age now looking for work with a degree. And today the Tory 'scum' float the idea of changing the repayment terms for student loans on the cohort whow paid £9k fees and have compound interest at 6%. These Tories really do not like the young do they.

Ruddy sure I am not letting a truck driver operate on me even if he has a class 1.

Presumably because the young predominately vote Labour.

She's a tasty piece

Is that fried, grilled or roasted?

 

[BrianV]

Yeah... so many say that, but when her record is examined closely it is not good. She hasn't 'done' anything brilliant, and has done some pretty bad things - for Germany I mean - but these are glossed over by her apologists.


The main, important and HUGE difference between state and private schools is that crap teachers won't be tolerated in private schools because the parents have a real say in things, with their cash...

Roll on the day when, nationally, each child gets an equal allocation of cash* and its parents can decide where that goes. Just watch as all the rubbish in the staff rooms is binned and the grades rocket.


*Obviously a wee bit more will need to go to rural and insular schools - but that would be based on locational need, the amount following each child being the same everywhere.

You could say she has played a blinder over the EU given how strong Germany now is compared to the other 25!

Look at the actual way it has happened and you'll see that she just kept a 'steady ship' rather than actually 'doing' anything, whereas others around actually did stuff wrong more often.

Good analysis

It’s the thought in the back of your mind that so many of this Labour lot not that unlike what we already have could not organise a pee up in a brewery let alone run our country that fills your heart with dread, how many of them would you trust to run your business?

Same could be said about the Tory party.

She hasn`t had much competition to be honest.

I think Brian already expressed that view to be fair.
