Almost as daft as hiring a kid who has just won the German second tier and expecting them to survive in our cut-throat top tier!……. Oh! well, so far so good!

I didn’t say whether or not I think it is an issue that our population is rising. i would guess you are talking about levels of immigration, in which case I probably don’t think it is as big an issue as you do. People who talk about the country being full are just falling for Farage and co’s...

I am angry, but not on my own behalf. we are retired and, while not wealthy, do not need to be worried about the winter fuel payment. Our daughters are fine. The elder one in Wales Works for the Welsh Parliament (Senedd) and so sees what goes on in politics at close hand. Mark Drakeford was her...

My granddaughter has just started secondary school in Wales - two schools near her, one twice the size of the other. She chose the bigger one 2,000 instead of 1,000. She’s very happy And thriving - bigger choice of subjects, better facilities. It’s the old grammar school where the notable alumni...

Very much like spam, cooked or cold!

Not all children have the same needs and a good education system will cater for all sorts. but I personally find it abhorrent that people can get a better education by paying for it. It really annoys me when driving to the AMEX regularly to drive past the entrance to the Lancing College...

Having been to a grammar school - admittedly in the 1960s - my two daughters received a much better education than i did at the local comprehensive. My 12 year old granddaughter, who is very intelligent, is revelling in her first year of comprehensive education in Wales. and there are instances...

Firing squad. the other two can and do go wrong and cause great suffering.

Labour have moved a long way since shooting Jeremy Corbyn. And there was plenty of evidence yesterday of despairing Tories - one MP saying they were receiving emails from constituents saying “what the hell have you done?” David Gauke, a prominent One Nation Tory reporting that he had rejoined...
