You opened the pubs on the 4th of July.
Are you telling me you couldn't have had socially distanced exams at the end of June?
#AlevelResults
The underlying inequalities in terms of access to online teaching resources were going to play out in any assessment made of these kids, but to allow them to be downgraded based on their school's previous results... That's inequality ON TOP OF inequality.
#AlevelResults
Regarding feasibility:
Exams don't all happen at the same time. We could literally have had one exam at a time, with an exam supervisor in every class room and sports/assembly room across the school and 2 metres between everyone.
Social distancing 100% respected.

Captain hindsight, I know. But I'm not @educationgovuk.
In March WE KNEW:
▪️Social Distancing = 2m
▪️Inequalities between schools made funding online tools in deprived areas urgent
▪️Having to cancel exams last minute is better than the elitist guesswork we'd end up at otherwise
And yes, I realise now that I should be ashamed of myself for not saying "2020 hindsight" right there. If there was ever a moment to say it...

Interesting debate today with a mate who's to the right of me:

Him: Women get to leave Ukraine. Men have to fight. So much for the patriarchy!

Me: That IS the patriarchy. The idea that men are protectors and women look after the kids, is part of it. Patriarchy hurts men too!
⬇️
Him: Google definition - Patriarchy - "system of society or government in which men hold the power and women are largely excluded from it."

Me: Women make up 51% of the population but only 34% of Parliament. Vast majority of CEOs are men. That meets your definition perfectly.
⬇️
Him: *Refers to study showing women choose to be nurses or stay home, while men choose to be engineers, to explain higher pay*

Me: Saving lives and raising kids, both vital to avoiding the disintegration of society and allow others to work...
are worth less than making cars?

I have a question about the laws announced in today's #QueensSpeech:

The UN say they break international law on refugees.

🇬🇧Parliament's Human Rights Committee says they violate our right to protest.

The HOME OFFICE says their own laws are racist.

Will our media mention this? Image
OK I'm gonna have to do a video on this shit.

OK, Youtube version is done:

Today Dominic Raab blamed the EU for the fact that the DUP are holding Northern Ireland's government hostage over a Brexit Deal he negotiated and got elected on.

He wasn't challenged about this on either #Ridge or #Raworth.
patreon.com/femi_sorry
Disclosure:
Here are the unedited clips from @RidgeOnSunday
& @BBCPolitics.

#Ridge blames the Tories & #Raworth blames Brexit for the Northern Ireland crisis.

But both then let Dominic Raab blame the EU without challenging him, and then when asks to move on, they both do.

I'll vote Labour when they commit to giving us a fair voting system.
#LocalElections2022 @UKLabour @TheGreenParty
In response to the predictable comments:

The Tories have held absolute power for 46 of the last 76 years despite the majority voting to the left of them in almost every single election.

That makes FPTP the most right-wing policy in UK politics.
And Labour currently support it.
So you can shout at me for using my vote to protest against that, or you can shout at @Keir_Starmer for continuing to help the Tories win LONG TERM.

Your choice. 👍🏿

🔻Unlawfully shut Parliament to take power
🔻Unlawfully sent 25,000 untested patients into care homes. (Today's High Court ruling)
🔻Unlawfully failed to disclose the Covid contracts they gave to Tories
🔻Unlawfully partied in lockdown

How many people died due to Tory Crimes? 🤔
The "Party of Law and Order" unlawfully shut parliament in order to run down the clock towards No-Deal, and avoid letting people vote on their Brexit deal.

So they rose to power by breaking the law.

They then broke the law by sending 25,000 untested patients into the most clinically vulnerable environments in the country.

This was within 3 months of taking power.
