The majority are not refugees, but migrants arrogantly demanding to be let in, and how dare we say no.And if the Gov't do as you wish, when would you call a halt to it? Once the migrants realise that Britain will take anyone, as you advocate, because that is what will happen, you will at some...

[/B] I taught in secondary schools for 35 years and you are absolutely correct. I once wrote to an exam board about a GCSE paper which was ridiculously easy and was told by the school management team that they didn't want this to happen, as I would want a good grade for my children. I replied...

But it could well have been that staff in schools serving poorer areas might be precisely those desperate to see their students do well and are thus more likely to inflate their grades??

If you have been teaching nice, hard-working kids for 7 years and are then asked to estimate their grade, being aware of the significance for their uni aspirations, then the pressure on staff to err on the generous side is huge. I am not saying that this is necessarily ethical, but I know from...

Is this really the best you can come up with -so he dealt with his private life and ignored the country - how can you or indeed anyone possibly be in a position to make such an absurd comparison?

That inexplicably there are so many lefties on the political threads who never lie, never have anything on the side, never do anything that could be lablled as hypocritical, and always tell the truth . .

[/B] Yes, it could be an interesting time, with so many players' futures to be decided -not sure exactly how many are on loan and could be sold, thus bringing in some dosh, with the Ben White situation being the most anticipated. Also, we had 5 players today in their first season of the PL, and...

Yes, fully agree.My son-in-law dislikes Stevens with a passion ( I am not bothered either way!) but even he accepts that the many back passes were due to the fact that there simply was no one up front to whom he could pass, so concerned were we with defending.

I phoned the club about this and they said that the offer is for home matches only

[/B] I recall her standing up at a labour Party Conference extolling the idea of comprehensive education for the many, whilst preferring the educational ambitions of the few for her little darling, which might just explain why she is targeted. That has nothing to do with racism, of course...

Yes, I am sure that some/many pensioners do indeed pay tax -as a fat slap head, I do . . . .

so what is your solution?

Whilst I don't doubt your sincerity in wanting better funding, am I right in thinking that as a pensioner you would not be paying any more anyway? In an earlier exchange, I distinctly recall you claiming poverty. As a general point, it is quite common to see folk saying that they would be...

Yes. hard to disagree with this.

Bit of a clumsy push, so far as I could see, but certainly not meant to injure. It could have been that the keeper was also worried about carrying the ball outside the area, with all that entails, and this might have affected how he was trying to land??

Exactly. Fully support you.

Yes, I am sure that you right. In these lovely liberal days, kids just assume that they can get away with it, and of course they do. As ever, the majority is as good as with other past generations, but what has changed is that those intent on causing problems know that there are few limitations...

I am amazed that you are so polite, though I suspect they you are being understandably sarcastic. To say such things about thousands of human beings, is a disgrace, and shows how little he really knows. I should admit that my relatives are in the Old Bill, and during my teaching career, I wrote...

[/B] And he is of course quite right -just that the parents are often as bad and don't take responsibility for their little darlings. All too often in my teaching career, I was met with a denial of all problems, assuming it was the school's fault, or the statement that he/she is fine at home ...

Yes. Would recommend this spot to anyone -wonderful views and lovely walks.
