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.

It will go to Commons. Will frighten Labour

Timetable of Bill

http://services.parliament.uk/bills/2016-17/fixedtermparliamentsrepeal.html

Sounds like a good idea from May's point of view...no opposition worth talking about.

Not sure she will call election. It just gives her the option. Labour are broke and in a mess so they will be scared.

Hays,

Grow up.

One of the problems with politics is that it becoming a superficial game.

The problem is that political stunts have consequences.

Why is it proposed by a labour "Lord"?.

Private member Bill

I know that Hays but what sense does it make for a labour peer to propose such a bill at this time? As you state, it will frighten labour if it ever gets out of the Upper House. Maybe a sign of the mess Labour is in.

Many in Labour want a GE soon for Corbyn to lose and have to resign. It may be in connection with that. However, Lord Desai is a Marxist economist and supporter of Corbyn. Will only pass if May wants it To

Air China condemned over racist remarks in in-flight magazine:
"London is generally a safe place to travel, however precautions are needed when entering areas mainly populated by Indians, Pakistanis and black people," the magazine says.
"We advise tourists not to go out alone at night, and females always to be accompanied by another person when traveling."
How dare you say that!
Next story on Sky News:
More than 50% of female students at UK universities complain of sexual harassment when going out at night.

These days you can't say boo to a goose, these feminist are being allowed
to go to far..

Its human nature for a guy to try and chat a girl up, how else are they to find
out whether its their lucky night or not...

Grammar Schools going down a bomb.

NASA has launched a a rocket to land on a meteor to collect some dust,
the OSIRIS Rex craft

And whenever you have people on from these space agencies they either
appear to have been on the pixie dust all giddy and that, or have a mad
scientist look in their eyes....

Why the ideological hatred of gramma skools?


Shurely it's a good way of accelerating the able, whilst allowing the also rans to go at a pace more suited to their abilities?

Would you pass the 11-plus? Try some real test papers like wot I done when I were 11

The New Beginning.

Wait until the NHS returns to the 40s and Social Services to the Workhouses!

if the luvvies and lefties accept streaming across nearly all subjects, then surely a decent comprehensive can and should be every bit as good as a grammar school

and of course there are bad grammar schools just as there are bad comprehensives ..... and unsupportive and non-aspirational parents everywhere

It depends on the quality of teaching, discipline, organisation and quality of building facilities, also the support of the "parents" and "community".

Instead of buying a house in the "school's locality" to get a "better" education, the more affluent will buy coaching for their kids to "pass" the eleven plus.

A sensible "comprehensive" should be capable of providing "streaming" to cater for the different abilities and leanings of its pupils.

The main problem with the switch to "comprhensive education" chaotic introduction and lack of appropriate and resourced buildings and "rush" for ideological reasons to do so.

Ill thought out and managed.
