[Politics] The 2024 US Election - *MATCH DAY*

Who is this man with zero executive or management experience?

A. Just another fanatical MAGA supporter?

B. A fox news co host?

C. The proposed head of the worlds most powerful militarily?

D. All of the Above?

I would say that all of these are best worked out in conjunction with educators rather than politicians or public servants.

And also with parents. In terms of "who knows most about educating a child", both teachers and parents are surely ahead of the person in Whitehall.

It’s the person in parliament that I am worried about. The false scare claims around gender and trans issues being taught or talked about in schools from the Tories, Refrom and right wing media politicised education to an unacceptable level. Perhaps an independent regulator should lead on this with input from parent groups, pedagogy academics and teaching unions. Going back to the main point, this might be a saving to the tax payer if the DoE and Secretary of State for Education were taken out of the process.

False scare claims? On the last couple of days it has come out that over 100 local authorities are asking parents to fill in what gender their children identify with, on their infant school applications. They are talking about three and four year olds here. The children may identify as a boy or a girl (or a teddy bear or a pony or Thomas the Tank Engine, none of which had an available box to tick).

He does have form when it comes to finding efficiency at Twitter - sacked how many people? The company didn't collapse though, which suggests they weren't doing anything useful.

To me that's a bit like saying - "we amputated 3 of his limbs but he's still alive, so..."?

Many people think Twitter is far worse than it used to be, miles more bots etc.

On a slightly lighter note I saw an article on line this morning about Agent Orange's youngest son, Barron. Is it just me or does anyone else look at the name Barron Trump and think there is a "von" missing somewhere?

Feels like giving Paul Dacre the nuke codes for fun.

Quite right, those bloody Chagosians don't deserve their island back.

Stolen from them fair and square it was.

Isnt that now the standard wording on most/all forms now?

Sorry but I am struggling to get to outraged about this. Asking the question like this makes no difference to nearly all parents and makes the form a little easy to those few parents who have chosen to bring their children up gender neutral.

You really need an agenda on this issue to find it shocking and your last bracketed sentence highlights yours.

What Starmer is proposing is nothing to do with giving the Chagossians their islands back. What Starmer is proposing is that the UK will withdraw as their colonial overlords, if you like, and will instead make Mauritius the colonial overlords in our place. Mauritius being not much more than a thousand miles away from the islands.

The Chagossian people haven't been consulted.

Ah interesting, I'll be honest this morning was the first I heard of it. Thanks for the info.

Are the Chagosians still around, they were treated pretty badly in Mauritius from what I recall.

Is that true? Lots ended up over there?

So sad.
