I asked my Year 1 classes "What would you do as president of the world?"
Here is my analysis;
A THREAD
Alice - "Sweets for breakfast... everyday"

Right, obesity rates are through the roof. Heart disease. Over eating. Alice is taking none of this into consideration. The class cheered so she's won the majority. She knows what works, and who knows, wine gums at 7am might be nice.
Katie - "Build a house for my mum"

I know you've seen this and gone "aww" but look deeper. She's the President of the WORLD and all she's doing is building a house for her mum. I think it's incredibly selfish. Also her mum drives a 21 plate Audi. Absolute sham. Greedy fatcats.
Jack - "Go to London and live in Big Ben"

The epicenter. Typical tho, Jack buggers off to London with 0 policies and leaves all of us in the muck. Like Quasimodo he'll live in a bell tower away from civilization. I think he believes he gets to ring the bell. I didn't tell him.
Toby - "Drink hot chocolate and eat chocolate"

Yep. Of course. Chocolate. Basically he just wants to eat/drink chocolate. Also, it's worth mentioning that it's "healthy chocolate" so he won't get fat. He doesn't realise he'd make a fortune selling "healthy chocolate". But no.
Emma - "Help people with spelling"

For context, Emma is amazing at spelling. Of course she'd use her time helping others. It's all very "Id like to teach their world to sing", hand in hand we all learn together. Bit too soft for my liking but what a world it would be. Love this.
Mikey - "Get a PlayStation 5"

It's all take, take, take with Mikey. Where does it end!? The class absolutely loved the idea and started calling out all the games he could play. Suckers. Mikey thinks he's Truman and we're just the extras. Arrogant and greedy. Heil Mikey.
Ravi - "Give everyone a pizza"

Marcus Rashford eat your heart out. Always thinking about others. I did ask him about people who don't like pizza but he replied "Everyone will want my pizza", his confidence shine through once again. I genuinely believe he WILL feed the world.
Rosie - "Put maths in the bin and playtime"

Vote for Rosie. My frontrunner! I hate maths. Chuck it in the bin. She said "The robots can do it while we play". I'm actually all for this dystopian wonderland. She's really saying, we live to work not the opposite. Time for change.
Wendy - "Stop the virus"

Clear. Precise. Topical. Wendy knows EXACTLY what she's doing with this tagline. She's a politician through and through. Didn't give facts. Didn't need to. 'stop the virus' 'but how?' 'Doesnt matter, just stop it'...this is Trump if he was a decent man.
Ben - "Stop the virus with Wendy"

Every great leader needs the right people around them. Ben is the perfect Vice President. He understands his role. He's not necessarily a leader so working under Wendy is perfect. I'm pretty sure he's politically leeching. Like a young Iago.
Susanna - "Put my brother in a big dungeon"

I'm surprised she's using her power for evil but I suppose power does that. However when I asked about the dungeon. It sounded more like a studio flat in London. All at the taxpayers expense may I add. WE'RE PAYING, WHAT A JOKE.
End of thread.
You couldn't help Ravi get an MBE could you? @MarcusRashford

I asked my year 1 classes what job they'd like to do when they're older;
Here is my analysis
A THREAD
Alice - "A Princess"

How fucking predictable! I explained to her what happend to Lady Di but it went straight over her head. Dreams of Elsa and Arna. Would she be any good at it? No. The pressure is insurmountable. She'd crumble quicker than one ply toilet roll in a river.
Katie - "Vet"

Yeah about right. I'm sure she'd rather have her finger up a cat's ass than deal with people. I know I would. Katie is kind and caring so I'm sure she'll be great. She did mention a fear of big dogs so, I don't know how well that would work.

I asked my Year 1 classes to tell me a joke;
Here is my analysis.
A THREAD
Alice - "Why did the cow cross the road? - To go to the Mooovies"

Great timing. Great Engery. It also got a big laugh from the class. She is still raw as a comic but certainly showing a lot of promise. 8/10
Katie - "Why did the cow cross the road? - Mooovies"

Wanted a slice of Alice's pie. Copied her completely but with less conviction. No style or character. Even got the punchline wrong. Cluster fuckall round but I appreciate the attempt. 2/10
