just wonder what values our old teachers had when you compare them to todays set. at least they looked and acted like a school teacher and were not bothered if you liked them or not. teachers and parents have jobs to bring children up to their best of their ability. not trying to make kids their best mates.

always think the situation is based on something you wanted in the first place against something that happened by an accident you,d have avoided in the first place if you thought more about your actions.

so the rugby anthem 'Swing Low Sweet Chariot' has fallen foul of the woke brigade now.
For goodness sake it is a song...it hurts no-one and whatever your views it will not resurrect those who centuries ago were subject to being enslaved..neither will it free them.

And What do you know?
Harry Windsor(AKA Prince Harry) has been prodded to throw his weight behind the campaign to ban this song by the ultrawoke Me-again Markle......talk about wanting a private life to be PRIVATE...now they have what they asked for they keep shoving their noses into the limelight...are they missing it or something?

No one is owning responsibility for what are their own actions anymore - they're all looking for someone to blame (and for someone to pay!) for what is basically they're own fault.
I sometimes wonder how some people can actually afford to have a 40 stone lifestyle - apart from the actual cost of the food, the amount of time shovelling it down your gullet must preclude you from engaging in gainful employment.

plus another gripe i have always had with the 40 stone brigade is regarding clothes. for someone like me who is an average build, why should i have to subsidize the cost of a wool jumper say for them. they,d have to use a couple of extra sheep for their clothes than mine and they cost the same.

It is being reported that the BBC is going to spend £100 million over the next three years to ensure it has 20% of ethnic minorities as off screen employees.

Surely this is a form of racism....and of the worst kind...it is the box ticking racism.
Only those who are the best for the job should be appointed...regardless of their colour creed or ethnicity.
But then, this is the Beeb we are talking about here!

All this publicity about historical slavery that the protests have been about.....yet no one ever mentions that Since 2018 Pakistan has sold 629 women and girls to China....ostensibly as brides, but once in China they are enslaved and forced into prostitution.
Most of these women and girls are Christian.
Have you seen this slavery story told on the news programs?
No....why might that be then...?
Don't their lives matter too?
Some of those women would choose death over the inhumane treatment they receive in China

Deserving, but much too ‘difficult‘ a target for the woke MSM and weak-kneed politicians. Maybe they should change the acronym to SBLM?
