This is absolutely brilliant satire that succinctly explains how the Daily Mail radicalises people.

I just read this on Facebook:

Someone asked "Why do many British people not like Donald Trump?"

Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England, wrote this magnificent response:

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Rory Stewart, "We're in an unbelievable hole.. 9.2 million economically inactive people.. That's 1 in 7 aged under 65 who aren't children"

"We're complete European outliers.. The rest of Europe sorted itself after covid, we didn't"

"Nobody has a clue of why it's happening, it's really wierd"

"1 in 20 on disability benefits in Windsor.. 1 in 6 are on disability benefits in Blackpool.. So it has some connection to poverty and region"

"Part of the problem might be that we've created a really rubbish working environment.. Jobs are poorly paid.. Stressful.. People in the UK work longer hours than they do in Europe, for less money"

"So its not surprising that 9.2 million people are not keen to re enter the workforce"

Let’s spill the tea on HRT!
(Grab a cuppa this is your 12min tea break)

Why do you need to take #HRT?
Why are female hormone / oestrogen levels not recommended?
Why do some women need high doses?
Why do you need progesterone alongside oestrogen?

I’ve tried to pack in so much & please ask any questions below ⬇️

Forced to work in the rain unnecessarily?

If I may, there’s something I need to get off my chest.

As democracy remains under siege, it has been frustrating to watch how the press covers politics these days.

I am reminded by lessons that came to me during the Nixon years as a CBS News correspondent, which I’ll add here:

1. Enough with Both-sides-ism

When one side lies intentionally and repeatedly, they are no longer entitled to the benefit of the doubt. They should be held to account, right away. Do not simply repeat the narratives they spew.

2. Prioritize Live Fact-Checking

Rigorous and robust fact-checking is the best defense against misinformation, intentional lies, and deflection.

If Trump says the sky is green, the story isn’t that the sky is now green; the story is that the sky is still blue and Trump got it wrong.

3. Ask Lawmakers Hard Questions

Ask about the fundamental principles of democracy. Push them to go on the record that Biden won the 2020 election.

Ask if they support the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

This writing is not to offer any claim of knowing it all. Your correspondent has made his share of mistakes, but after more than seven decades I believe I have picked up a few useful guideposts.

Good journalism is always worth it. Our democracy depends on it.

@GeogRiley And obvs I meant IN 😞

[Nicci Daley @gouldylocks1]

@GeogRiley Read this on full yesterday. Despite unfollowing most education accounts, some slip through the net. This was one. Appalling. And the HT who recommend she resign?! Unbelievable.

I manage to not be racist everyday. It really isn't that difficult. It's probably much harder to be racist. Join me and take the easy option of not being racist.

Funny moment of the day:
Kids come in buzzing after play. There’s a rumour gone round at playtime that YouTuber and rapper K.S.I is coming to play a gig in our hall. Liam told everyone. He saw it on the board in the staffroom when in there. Sorry Liam it’s Key Stage 1 in the hall

@Tesforteachers Really? A post for teachers and you post 'your'. Probably why we need teachers over 50. 53, happy to have left at 51.

Blue tick this, blue tick that. Blah,blah, blah 🤭

@rkb1982 @emmccatt I left the profession a couple of years ago and had this same issue.
I did some research (we have great research skills!) and found some stuff on you tube, I think. It was American, but totally adaptable for the UK job market.

@NinaWarhurst And they have multiple breakfasts. Greedy as well as vile.

@Agnes55 @FloraSCooper @Ofstednews @Headteacherchat I was hoping you'd seen this ❤️
