WTF?

Oh and he isn't paying for it himself.

Boris Johnson has refused to deny he plotted a £150,000 treehouse for his son Wilf at Chequers.

No it is not.

The only collusion is between the Green party and the Lib Dems, and only in specific constituencies. They are both open when they do this.

Labour and the Lib Dems have money issues, so they are picking the seats they target with care. So while it would make...

It's an exaggeration but not unheard of in domestic violence cases.

I remember the news stories about this woman https://www.npr.org/2012/11/15/16523...=1656147903459 A few married white Christian women who die like her may make parts of...

You need to remember when you argue with Americans they quote their constitution.

What they won't tell you it is the same constitution that has been amended 27 times with the last time being in May 1992....

[SueEllen]

The two main opposition parties didn't collude and didn't stand down their candidates.

Lib Dems decided not to leaflet and not have prominent MPs visit Wakefield, and vice versa for Labour in Tiverton and Honiton.

They both decided it was worth winning one seat, and losing...

The drugs don't work, they just make you worse........

[SueEllen]

It was predicated that the Tories would lose Wakefield before the election or didn't you read/watch the media in the past month?

The result in Tiverton and Honiton was unpredictable.



Ahh some Corbynites/Socialist Workers/RMT members say that about the current...

[SueEllen]

From after dinner speaking?

Apparently William Hague makes a load of money from it but one ex-leader isn't that popular.

Or from being more like Cameron and Green Sill? Thing is Boris Johnson looks and is corrupt, so if you are doing something dodgy you know it will be scrutinised...

At least two classes in my school didn't study any Shakespeare for GCSE. Their teacher choose more modern works.

I am absolutely sure everyone did a Dickens novel. ...

Olivier Dowden thinks he is an electoral liability - so has resigned from the cabinet. He helped get him in as leader of the Tories. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-61920000

Oh and the Tories are moaning because people tactically voted....

[SueEllen]

Boris states he is going to listen to voters. ...

[SueEllen]

Oh btw I suspect the Tories would be silent if Dickens was dropped completely.

You wouldn't want teen children doing poverty comparisons with the Victorian era.

[SueEllen]

I didn't do Merchant of Venice and Hamlet.

The fun with Shakespeare is that you can study different plays as there are lots of them.




Again did different authors and poets who documented different eras.

Oddly some were female. The foreign ones...

[SueEllen]

Tories have lost Wakefield as expected.

You know there is no need as 3 weeks is nothing.

That reminds me I need to reply more to the emails that I keep getting....

If he was sitting there coding or whatever to showcase his skills in the current climate yes.

But that might be from what I'm seeing....

[SueEllen]

Not at GCSE level.

At A level and higher yes.

At GCSE you want pupils to be interested enough to take the subject further.

Studying Shakespeare is hard and boring enough for most 14 -16 year olds, so they don't need to study the historic texts of more people born...

And they wonder why that paying peanuts gets them monkeys....

[SueEllen]

The subject is English not history.

Last time I checked English was a living language.

There is no point children born in the 21st Century studying people from the beginning or middle of last century, they may as well study people who are around now.

It thought...
