The 48 Movement

A cross-party campaign to heal the country as we leave the EU, using the outward-looking, inclusive values of those who voted to remain. RT is not endorsement.

Poss. deal: stay in EU free market, end free movement for 7 years, pay less but still lots, have no say in the rules https://t.co/5uWVHNLCt6

The report on "anti-Corbyn bias" by the BBC is available as a PDF: https://t.co/5TiouCEV8R - as far as I can see it is not peer reviewed

[The 48 Movement @The48Movement]

@paulmasonnews @PeoplesMomentum on the face of it, very worrying indeed for the integrity of BBC reporting. Is this peer-reviewed research?

[Paul Mason @paulmasonnews]

The old BBC would have taken evidence like this seriously. The pre-Hutton BBC would not have let it happen https://t.co/i5la8T7Gqb

@EleanorBlueman have now sent a tweet that is neutral on the issue of poverty; thank you for your input, it was an interesting discussion

[The 48 Movement @The48Movement]

The letterhead says "knowledge is power". And punishing children for parents' non-payment is an *abuse* of power

[The 48 Movement @The48Movement]

@EleanorBlueman but I agree my original point would have been more neutral by saying "... punishing children for parents' non-payment" (2/2)

[The 48 Movement @The48Movement]

@EleanorBlueman that it is linked to non-payment of money suggests a number of possibilities, of which poverty is an obvious one (1/2)

[The 48 Movement @The48Movement]

@EleanorBlueman I would not have sent that letter; it is possible to ask parents for money without threatening to punish their child

[The 48 Movement @The48Movement]

@EleanorBlueman whatever your view of the severity of the punishment, it is wrong to punish them for something that is not their fault

[The 48 Movement @The48Movement]

@EleanorBlueman it is not an acceptable solution, in my view, for blameless children to spend an entire 60 min period in "lunch isolation"

[The 48 Movement @The48Movement]

@EleanorBlueman that some kids do not suffer this punishment does not make it okay - it is not okay for *any* children

[The 48 Movement @The48Movement]

@EleanorBlueman "They will spend the entire sixty minutes period in lunch isolation" is unacceptable to me when they have done nothing wrong

[The 48 Movement @The48Movement]

@EleanorBlueman I'm saying the "isolation" punishment is unacceptable

[The 48 Movement @The48Movement]

@EleanorBlueman it's the "isolation" punishment that's the problem, in my view, not asking for money

[The 48 Movement @The48Movement]

The letterhead says: "knowledge is power". And punishing children for parents' poverty is an *abuse* of power.

The Cameron years summed up in two Economist magazine covers (2010 left, 2016 right). The punk felt lucky...

[The 48 Movement @The48Movement]

@The48Movement the "need" to reduce immigration has been her claim for years, now being echoed back to her: she's hearing her *own* voice

[The 48 Movement @The48Movement]

Theresa May says the British people sent a “very clear message” on the need to reduce migration https://t.co/HRSp4qrCUo -> winning friends?
