I am sure there is no direct link to his ex employer being tipped off here, but surely this type of thing should come under the “inside trader” rules and be investigated?
I mean, is there anyone who doesn’t think that he, and various other ministers, didn’t tip their mates off ahead of the budget?
Kwarteng and Truss hosted a dinner for a bunch of hedge fund managers, including Crispin Odey, just a few days before his budget speech. I would go further than you, this wasn't "tipping off", this was the hedgefunders giving instructions.
When I was doing a number of WEA courses long time ago. The mantra was "workers control of the means of production".
I guess the bastards were buying heavily on currencies, knowing they could sell them back a few days later and make a large fortune.
Compared to about 6 weeks ago, transferring my state pension to Spain now would lose me in the region of €20 a week.
Fortunately I sent over enough money to keep me ticking over for a few months while I wait to see if there is any recovery in the £.
Coming to a school near you.
Where on earth could this be seen as acceptable behaviour? Surely not Canada where men dressing up as women has been going on for years and has never been a problem? All the time there were "more important things to talk about" weirdos and fetishists have been busy getting teaching jobs in schools. Can't see a problem there as long as Canada leads the way in virtue signalling, everybody's happy.
Not quite. Actually contrary to what we are told there are some Canadians who can see a problem
This sums things up quite nicely.

I saw a clip the other day that was either of that teacher speaking or someone spoofing them (I really need to find time to validate). If it was the former then I’m convinced they are actually on the wind up and maybe trying to prove a point in a real life argument based on absurdity
The video itself could have been a spoof . They fact that I am not sure is kind of the point
I’m leaning towards the clip I saw being a spoof
It's not really surprising it's happening so soon, considering the majority of Tory MP's wanted Sunak as leader. The fact that Truss is deliberately ranking the economy can only hasten the process.
You shudder to think who they will replace Truss with...
I know it was suggested that the teacher is totally fed up with the whole trans ideology in schools and is doing this as a protest in order to bring it all to a head. But I've not been able to find any evidence of that. Spoof or not what it does show is how something like this can be protected by law so that the rights these loons are considered more important.
I think it may well be someone rather familiar......

Here are some of my junior high and high school teachers here in Canada:
- High school English teacher who would vaguely suggest that he was the reincarnation of William Golding, the author of Lord of the Flies, which is a particularly strange belief given that their lifetimes overlapped by several decades. Had a purely psychosomatic allergy to oranges; if he saw one he'd have a 'reaction', but only if he saw it, and it could be across a large room. Fell down fairly regularly.
- Drama teacher who got so tired of our **** (understandable) that he picked up a chair and threw it over the head of one of the students, where it smashed against the wall and broke. Disappeared for a couple of weeks on leave. Returned and had us do nothing but mime for a couple weeks thereafter to keep us quiet.
- Physical education teacher who let my class (and no other, apparently) have "free time" periods, where we could all do our own thing. The reason? There was a rather attractive girl in our class that used "free time" to do yoga, and he liked to watch her. We were 16. He would have been in his 40s/early 50s.
- A junior high school math teacher who couldn't do math. Also a terrible softball coach, which was his real passion. Now teaches at the high school from what I understand.
- A junior social studies teacher who just...didn't know anything. I can't remember the incredibly long list of bizarre things he believed anymore, as too many years have passed, beyond his belief that Russia broke up and formed the USSR (if memory serves, this is because we had an outdated map in class that still showed the USSR); his belief that 2% milk meant that it only contained 2% milk, and they filled the rest with water; that he believed that Anne of Green Gables was a true story. Believe he left teaching the year after I had him.
Just as with the person you're citing, the reason their peculiarities were tolerated (or at least did not result in their firing) is that, for better and worse, Canada has strong teacher's unions. But none of the above attracted international news coverage or were treated as leading indicators of the collapse of civilization or equal twaddle, probably because no right-wing politicians or 'thought leaders' could gain from exploiting their existence.
