I'm hearing on #r4today that working class white kids have poor educational outcomes because of "the concept of white privelege" & not a series of Tory govts over 11 years that have alienated teachers' unions, cut youth services to the bone & torn up the benefits system 😐😑

So. That's a relief.

Asked what data supports claim that it is "white privelege" holding poor white kids back, we hear that Robert Halford is Jewish, actually. Fascinating.
Pushed on whether this is actually relevant he complains, I kid you not, about "pitching one group against another" 🤦‍♀️ #r4today

(Robert Halford being the MP who led the committee that has published this very good and clever and not stupid report. The fact he is Jewish is entirely irrelevant to his ability to spew undiluted bullshit through my radio this morning.)

Halfon! Bloody hell my autocorrect does not want his name to be Halfon!!
