I have mentioned that this is who I would be voting for on more than one occasion. There is a silent majority as well you know. The same sort who can't be arsed voting in council elections and thereby letting the interlopers in. Proportional representation would likely garner 30-35% of the Parliament for the likes of Reform UK. You know this but will no doubt argue red is blue (see how PC I was there?) that the percentage would be far lower. No one can prove it either way so it may be time to leave the screeching lefties to it again for a while as this all becomes rather tiresome. None of us will budge from entrenched positions so is there really any point in trying to discuss it? Maybe a sojourn until the IDF has completed its work is in order.

I agree re the marching, but blaming the teachers is some level of ignorance. What’s worse is that people perpetuating these myths & isolated stories will then go onto to use stuff like this to influence their vote. Even though they and everyone else knows how much damage the current lot have caused in our education system. They will still give them a tick because they think kids are being brainwashed. Agree re the knowledge overload. Critical thinking, social skills and practical skills are neglected at the expense of filling kids with knowledge. Children need this knowledge in some areas but there needs to be a balance. Don’t think our curriculum prepares them for life in a modern workplace and companies have been telling us this for years now. Issue is that schools are used to paper over societal cracks, "They should teach this in school", "they should teach that in school".. A teachers more of a social worker now than ever before. Done some supply work recently, went in one school and they were asking me to come back before the end of the first lesson. Strangely a lot of supply teachers seem to be from minority groups..

I agree with you there is a reason why Conservative and Labour won't entertain PR, because they'd be stuffed. As for the percentage of votes the Reform party would get, who knows, we have no idea. And we'll never find out. Under this current system, they'll probably not get more than 3 seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a way true. But not pointless. I think it's good that folk can discuss their thoughts on this forum. Threads from Israel to Ukraine, Recent filums to Mushy peas on a Christmas dinner.

Too right mate! The Bachelors (not quick soak) were down to 50p in tezzie all summer and a good supply was purchased, however i noticed they are up to 70p this week.
