My daughter is an Early Childcare Practitioner at the school where my wife teaches. Her contract is for a 30 hour week - 6 hours per day Mon-Fri - but since around September last year she has been working two or three extra shifts each week to help cover for a colleague who has Long Covid, and there's no sign of that colleague returning any time soon. Schools are on a two week break at the moment - but the childcare provision in them is still necessary, so my daughter gets no break. As a result she is near to breaking point - so, yes, she does have a drink at the end of her shift to help unwind, but not at school. Like all the other staff at the school, she does the right thing and comes home first. If politicians must make inane comments such as this one has, they should at least have the decency to stay out of the many heavily taxpayer-subsidised bars that proliferate in the House of Commons first.
Watford Boys Grammar School has a lot to answer for... *BoJo didn't do it with malice, so all is ok. *BoJo is apparently doing a good job as PM. *BoJo is needed to help the world with the crisis in Ukraine. Strange one that - he is the cause of the crisis in the UK.
Was he there as Grant Shapps or one of his later identities such as Micheal Green? The Observer discovered that Shapps had tweaked his Wikipedia entry to remove the information about his performance at school. Apparently it said that he “obtained four O-levels including an A in CDT”, whereas he actually obtained five – though CCHQ won’t disclose the grades he got.
I can't answer that, being - ahem - slightly older than him. I can't mock his O-level tally either - If that's true, I think he beat mine.
It's quite the read, eh! I wonder if certain folks are still trying to defend this absolute sh*tshow?
Quite a disturbing read this - an analysis of Boris Johnson by Richard Bentall, Professor of Clinical Psychology at the University of Sheffield. If you think we've had a rough ride so far, you ain't seen nothing yet. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1514199687254974468.html
Après ses déboires récents avec la police, Johnson se prend pour le Pape avec un message de Pâques (rare pour un PM GB) où il compatit avec les "persécutés" de ce monde ... les mêmes que lui-même envoie bouler au Rwanda. Maybe the Pope has got it right when he talks about chasing away refugees. Christianity or humanism would both agree that helping your neighbour is the right thing to do. please log in to view this image
The Express are little behind the Times it seems. I thought this has been common knowledge for over a year - after the Falklands were left out of the so-called deal negotiated with the EU. I wonder how Westminster would react if the islanders revert to the name Las Malvinas, and ask Argentina to take them back?
Clearly another distraction from whatever today's actual brown smelly stuff is going to hit the tory fan... a tax avoiding newspaper owner getting his charges to bleat on about something that our none too bright "negotiation team" wilfully disregarded. I'd describe it as criminally negligent, myself.
Utterly unbelievable that his party allow this twat in a turban to go overseas and represent the UK's interests - he's nothing but a national embarrassment.
Staggering. He's probably been in a pub or two, seen Sikhs drinking (I know I have), and put two and two together to make five!
