Debating Mrs Starkey

Loving to debate and discuss topical issues! School debate clubs are full of talent for the future of politics - it's inspiring!

It is funny how different lives play out and it really, really is not the same for us all. I can think of so many other examples like this. Still, we need to all live with zest and determination to have the best life possible but knowing it ain’t all from the same starting point.

🧵 about #class #privilege and #privateeducation. Watching the Olympic swimming last night and Clare Balding said something in such an incredulous tone which summed up the establishment perspective and how their experience differs. 1/

The only response to the chief Rabbi that is moral is, "I'm sorry and I'll do whatever I possibly can to win back your community's trust." So that's what I will say.

Wow, @samwarburton_ what a wonderful gift to make to the NSPCC and what a message to give to your daughter about the true gifts in life 🎂👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎂

A well reasoned point well made by @nazirafzal

Section 28 prohibited teaching of LGBT in schools for 15 yrs from 1988 to 2003

To those who believe that teaching Gay relationships exist will make their kids gay:
That ban means there shouldn’t be a single Gay person between 16 & 30 years old

If there are, then you’re wrong

[nazir afzal @nazirafzal]

Ann Widdecombe says Gay people will eventually be “cured” by Science

The same Science that she refused to accept when 1 of only 5 MPs that voted agst Climate Change Act

Science is what she chooses it to be

Dear @LEGO_Group,

My daughter, four, loves Lego, football and blue, so she was delighted to get the new Lego City magazine.

Then she noticed that of the 29 people who talk in it, only one is female, and she speaks once, to agree with a man.

So my daughter wrote you a letter:

Thoughtful and beautifully argued article on Assange by ⁦@jessphillips⁩ in The Guardian https://t.co/FqWDyEiAGF

[StanceGrounded @_SJPeace_]

Jews created a path holding signs of solidarity outside a mosque entryway in New York so when Muslims walked through to enter the mosque, they see the support.

THIS IS HUMANITY

Retweet ❤️

Where is the debate on the issues? This misogynist, nasty & personal attack @RachelRileyRR is not acceptable. If your argument is good stick to it. If you can’t argue your point without insulting the other person stay quiet. #debatewithdecency #respect

[Rachel Riley MBE 💙 @RachelRileyRR]

Thanks Colm, yes my parents are proud of me. Surprised you’re not a Countdown fan yourself with all the letters and numbers in your name...

[Debating Mrs Starkey @DebatesStar]

Interesting twist for our next debate - "This house believes the 1969 USA moon landings were faked". Unusual topic - let's have a debate!

[Debating Mrs Starkey @DebatesStar]

Reminds me of Thursdays when our wonderful yr 7&9s prepare debates. With such winning attitudes who knows what their future holds? #inspired https://t.co/D2JeNdl1L7
