Ursula von der Leyen has now expressed more outrage over racist hate-spewing Israeli football hooligans than over the Palestinian children whose deaths these hooligans were celebrating. History will remember this.
@Joannechocolat I was a pupil of Mr Fry when he was a young Physics teacher in Mirfield. He was one of the best. Nice to hear that his legacy lives on.
When well-off politicians talk about "making hard choices", they mean "imposing hard choices on other people."
In this case, that "hard choice" means condemning children to poverty.
The 'university degrees are making you poor' scam is, like everything else from trans to migrants, intended to direct people's attention from who is paying them shit wages: the corporations, the billionaires who own them, & the parasites they put into power.
There's no such thing as honest climate science denial. Faced with the mountain of devastating evidence and the acute emergency being experienced right now in several parts of the world, either you're being paid for it or you're channelling the claims of someone who has.
There are 4.2 million children in poverty. There is no humanity in maintaining the two-child cap - it is a cruel kind of punishment. The cynical political purpose of all this is to appear tough on benefit claimants, when in fact it is only tough on children in poverty.
What is really depressing about Starmer’s article and interviews today is that he has confirmed he is a full on Thatcherite. He has even gone so far as to say there is no alternative. I despair.
Must be doing something right...my words about anti-foodbank MP & his wages being twisted by the Tories today into trying to label me an education 'snob''....what a joke...🙄
They can't think of anything else to have a go at....
HOWEVER, I'll let my record in education do the talking inc
helping 500,000 children with their maths during lockdown...giving bursaries for young people and schools with disadvantaged backgrounds like mine....helping Blunkett introduce the Numeracy Hour....governor of inner city school......education books for decades.....recognised STEM Ambassador....I could go on.
Always a believer in encouraging young people to achieve their best, in whichever way that comes around, to be strong and happy and confident.
Anything else being espoused is offensive, targeted, predictable Right Wing nonsense.
PS Tories....this attack won't work. It just makes us more determined.
PPS thanks for all your support...we'll beat them in the end ❤️❤️

These 3 control most of the UK print Media, none of them live here, none of them pay tax here.
They spread lies and hate for sales and to distract from the obvious fact that they are the enemy.
If you know they are the problem RT.
