I think a lot of people start wearing their poppy a week before.
Had a really hard job getting poppies to sell in work this year. Not really sure of the reasons why, one person said lack of stock and another said lack of volunteers. |

I’m more concerned with the fact they’re wrong.
Empire is very prevalent in both Key Stage 3 and 4.

It’s getting very worrying, Cat.
With Trump looking increasingly likely to win in the US, there’s a clear path emerging to trouble ahead. |

If there’s one ‘good’ thing to come from this, hopefully any further decisions to go to a similar trial will be made harder after this one was kicked out. |

I think it's a huge irony that some who complain obout bias in the mainstream media and election tampering hold this bloke up as a hero. |

Kind of makes my point.
Anyone willing to hit kids is unsuitable for the job. |

What kind of adult would apply for a job where you have to have a willingness to hit children? |

Yet a reasonable percentage ok the uk public are in favour of corporal punishment in schools.
Those for it like to point out it never did them any harm.
My response to that argument is yes it did, it seems to have made you think it’s ok for adults to hit kids. |

Since you’ve been in school inspection has been introduced. And Performance Related Pay. And the Teacher Standards. And the Teacher Regulation Authority.
If OFSTED came to my school on Monday and it went badly, I’d be out of a job on Thursday. As I would be out of tea job I’d did many of the things mentioned earlier.
I’m not for one minute saying the public sector is completely full of hard working, competent people. But it’s not the other way either. Same as the private sector.
Those positions are ideological, not factual.
Obviously some takes will be down to experience and Ive had much worse service from mechanics, banks and carpet shops than I’ve ever had from doctors, social workers etc. |

Both those examples in your first paragraph would most likely end with dismissal in education.
As would financial mismanagement, gaming attendance or school roll, maladmistration of tests and failure to report a safeguarding concern to name a few. |

I’ve no doubt there are some examples of this.
But that’s a long way from all public sector workers being virtually unsackable. |

Virtually unsackable?
Not my experience. I’d image all have appraisal and disciplinary policies, HR departments, Codes of Conduct, misconduct and Gross Misconduct red lines etc.
Makes you wonder why we can’t feel these highly paid, gold plated pensioned unsalable positions… |

Both crimes, though.
In the same way comparing freebies to doing favours for doners that eventually have to be reversed by the high court is ludicrous.
I don’t approve of many of the freebies at all and I’m pretty disappointed Labour have made a hash of their first hundred days, but to suggest the level of dodgy news are the same isn’t right. [Post edited 9 Oct 22:02]
