Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Skinny,

Repetitious. Leave it to Dreams

"Repetitious" - really Fred - how sweetly ironic.

To gf - from "an uneducated idiot". I was educated at a public school in Scotland and manged to get an A-level in English. Having read your posts on various bulletin boards over a period of about 10 years, I have to say my standard of spelling does appear to be a lot better than yours. Perhaps your definition of education is different from mine. Don't bother to respond as a little bird told me you have me filtered.:-)

Db4,

I think GF, like myself, may have/or had to put up with "dyslexia". Also, I think he uses "texting" type and short cuts.

It was a curse to me when I was young, but found ways of getting around the problem.

Thanks to word processors and computers there has been some improvements, also I like "game playing" and getting around "problems" became a fun rather than a drudge.

-------

But something I was reading a couple of days ago perhaps made me think of education in another way.

"Mark Twain , grand écrivain Américain, nous informe que la bonne éducation consiste à concilier le grand bien que nous pensons de nous-mêmes avec le peu de bien que nous pensons des autres."

Funny old B.

PS.

GF may be caught up with the "idea" than the "painting" of the "process".

Guardian robot baffled by Generation Y's embrace of Thatcherism.

Does not compute. Does not compute

There's a great example in the Guardian this morning of what Americans call "gee whiz" journalism, as in, a piece of news greeted as if it's jaw-droppingly sensational when, to the rest of us is, it's bleedin’ obvious. I'm talking about John Harris's belated discovery that "the yoof" don't share the values of the liberal, Guardian-reading metropolitan elite. Incredible as it may seem, they're not pro-immigration, pro-welfare or pro-redistributive taxation. According to Ipsos MORI, only 20 per cent of 18-34-year-olds agree with the statement "the creation of the welfare state is one of Britain's proudest achievements". How dare they?!? Most amazingly of all – to Harris, anyway – is that Generation Y don't blame the "Con-Dem cuts" for youth unemployment. Haven't they been listening to Len McCluskey?

The most telling passage in the article comes at the end, when Harris meets a 27-year-old in Warrington who's just got a job after a bout of unemployment thanks to the government's Work Programme. Harris asks him whether he thinks his joblessness was his fault.

"Yeah," he says. "I do. I think I should have applied for more. I should have picked myself up in the morning, got out, come to a place like this – tried more. When you're feeling down, you start blaming the world for your mistakes – you feel the world owes you. And it doesn't. You owe the world: you have to motivate yourself, and get out there, and try."

Harris describes this reply as – wait for it – "heartbreaking". Yes, it breaks the Guardianista's heart that this young person doesn't think the world owes him a living. Instead of becoming welfare dependent, trapped for the rest of his life in poverty and despair – as any self-respecting member of the proletariat should, doncha know – he's actually gone out and found himself a job! Oh tempora! Oh mores! What's become of the client state? It's as if 13 years of New Labour never happened.

Harris blames "Thatcherism" for the proletariat's false consciousness – and the fact that Labour hasn't been a proper socialist party since Tony Blair ditched Clause IV. The "up-by-your-boot-straps Conservatism of Norman Tebbit and Margaret Thatcher" (yah, boo, sucks) went "largely unchallenged during the New Labour years" and is now accepted by millions of young people as "a simple matter of fact". Echoes here of red daiper baby Owen Jones, whom Harris singles out (alongside public schoolgirl Laurie Penny) as a beacon of hope amidst all the gloom. Owen thinks "the rightwing media" is to blame for brainwashing the lumpen proles. If only the poor sods read the Guardian or the Independent, then they'd know THE TRUTH which is that the millionaire-Tory-Bullingdon-Boys-ruling-class have a vested interest in keeping them down.

Hmmm. Call me a capitalist running dog, but I can think of another explanation for Generation Y's lack of enthusiasm for the values of John Harris, Owen Jones and public schoolgirl Laurie Penny.

Maybe – just maybe – the reason 18-34-year-olds aren't wild about the consequences of Labour's open-door immigration policy is because they noticed that nine out of ten jobs created under the last government went to foreign-born workers.

Maybe – just maybe – the young residents of towns like Warrington aren't in lockstep with John Harris and Owen Jones and public schoolgirl Laurie Penny when it comes to state hand-outs is because they've witnessed the appalling, destructive, calamitous impact of welfare dependency with their own eyes.

Maybe – just maybe – the reason more 18-24-year-olds say they're going to vote Conservative (31 per cent) than Labour (27 per cent) is because they recognise that Britain wasn't in a great place after 13 years of the other lot in power, that we need to get the deficit under control if we're to avoid joining Ireland, Greece, Portugal, Spain, Italy and (any day now) France in the bankruptcy club and that David Cameron and George Osborne's plan for digging us out of this hole is just a teensy weensy bit more credible than Ed Miliband and Ed Balls's.

No, silly me. It's because they've all been brainwashed by The Sun.

Tanker,

It is not posting the facts but I suspect the intentions behind the postings.

To me it is scapegoating of various groups and attempting envelope other individuals by association.

This appears similar to what the Nazies did in the thirties in order to enabled them to get and keep "power".


They thought it justifiable.

The same pattern of behaviour is seen by some as being utilized by the present right wing faction of the coalition government, in their focussing of publics attention of the "unemployed and minority groups" within the UK society and holding them responsible for their own incompetence and ongoing problems.

This could lead to a more fragmented and "nasty" divided society.

But that is just my opinion.

fred no I just post what I read simple as that bad news must be seen by all
