Sanford posted:I think the speaking skills thing is a good idea, if it was part of an arrangement that also included, for example, a lot of extra money for schools. A good friend of mine works as a cleaner at a service station (after getting to his “if it sucks, hit the bricks” limit at, ironically, his teaching job) and a huge number of his colleagues there rely on him for basic language skills. He acts as an employment and relationship counsellor just by listening to people and translating it with a “right, what he means is…” and is held in huge esteem by the other staff. A bit of practice in sticking to your point and conveying it effectively would help a lot of people enormously. Shame it’s pledged, of course - that means it won’t happen. Both Labour and Tories think that what the country needs is some One Weird Trick that will help fix everything meanwhile everyone is crying out to hear "we'll spend money to fix the big problems" because people recognise the current situation is hosed from funding, not some nebulous lack of reform. I agree that public speaking and oracy skills are important and matter, but there's many glaring problems in our schools before you get to "poor pupils aren't as good as communicating as rich ones" Although the pandemic and kids being terminally online has probably made it worse.

The speaking skills thing is Starmer yet again carefully placing a dozen rakes on the ground in front of himself. I give it a day before someone completely blindsides him with the unforeseeable: "Sir Keir, would you agree that answering questions clearly and concisely is an important part of oration?" (Why yes I would) "Well then could you tell me why Labour is unable to keep any of its pledges for longer than a week?"

You know, they’re interrupting iconic sporting events that are part of our history, tradition and massively looked forward to across the nation. I absolutely condemn the way they go about their tactics. Guessing that protesters will not just be politely asked to stop what they are doing.

And the only thing the youth care about on the 11th / 12th is burning things and getting shitfaced. Fantastic culture It just takes time. And if the drug importers can't fund the bonfires any more then that's another thing.

it’s quite something that the tories can just trash the economy and then labour are oh dear we’ve inherited a trashed economy we can’t do anything - and even if a labour mp is slightly off message to suggest we do something we get a reminded of the “there’s no money left, lol!” whitehall note

i thought the story of the first baby born under the nhs is very interesting. Essentially, he was diagnosed with crohns at a young age and made a point how the nhs couldn’t really offer him much at the start, whereas today he can have MRIs, fancy drugs and specialist appointments of course the government would prefer we go back to the 1950s funding model, much much more “affordable”

Like, their power grid keeps failing and trains keep stopping because power cables, tracks, and signalling poo poo keeps getting stolen, and it's not like there's more poverty in SA than there was 10 years ago. I know little about the AMC. But it also might be too do with the government now having to provide for all its population instead of just 7%.
