Raising council tax will 'increase postcode lottery' in social care
Experts say wealthy areas will find it easier to meet rising demand for social care funding leaving poorer with ‘squalid life’

Morning, following link is from a post on Clive Lewis's twitter (which itself has some good responses to 'articles' in the daily mail )

following snippet shows main thrust of article, but I think the whole thing's worth a read.

When you’re a public figure, and you’re prepared to play politics with ethnic minorities’ lives, you’re a racist, and your racism is significantly more consequential than some meathead nobody who yells at the odd mosque and keeps a few Nazi books on their shelf but essentially has no impact on anybody other than the unfortunate few to encounter them in their daily lives.

They must have missed the research on the effect of status on the immune system of monkeys, which explains why rising living standards alone isn't enough, if some people are cast in a lower status symbol role and basically concluded that reducing inequality as much as possible was key to improving health and happiness. It's almost as if they're looking for excuses not to tackle inequality, isn't it?Most human misery can be blamed on failed relationships and physical and mental illness rather than money problems and poverty, according to a landmark study by a team of researchers at the London School of Economics (LSE).
He really needs to look at the monkey experiment. Mental health services would be less necessary if the Tory government stopped treating certain sections of society as second class citizens.Layard rejected accusations that he was arguing against closing income inequalities but said improvements in mental health services would have a greater impact.

Morning all.
Grammars plan will not help in 96% of areas in England, analysis finds
https://www.theguardian.com/education/2 ... es-england
1. The EPI is the new name for CentreForum - the old LibDem edu thinktank but which still has David Laws as its Executive Chairman.
2. Its Director of Education data and Statistics worked in the Department for Education from 2003 to 2016 as a statistician.
3. One of its advisory board, Dr Tim Leunig, is the Chief Scientific Adviser and Chief Analyst at the Department for Education.
Highly speculative eh? Hmm...

https://www.theguardian.com/education/2 ... es-england
Fun factsLess than 4% of local authority areas in England would see a boost to educational attainment from new grammar schools and attract the necessary parental support to make them a success, according to a new analysis.
The report by the Education Policy Institute said only six of the 152 local authorities appeared to have the necessary conditions for new grammars to work.
The study, labelled “highly speculative” by the Department for Education, comes on the final day of the government’s three-month consultation about Theresa May’s plan for the first wave of new grammar schools in decades.

Re: Monday 12th December 2016
Yep, we had Andy Burnham disappointing and now Carwyn Jones. Carwyn Jones is a particular disappointment to me because previously he was doing a good job of defending the benefits of remaining in the single market. Ed Miliband has redeemed himself slightly, though and Clive Lewis has some more useful things to say but generally its' looking quite bleak. I'm just waiting for Labour to finally wake up to the fact that chasing Brexit voters is pointless when there is a party in government already giving them everything they think they want. If those voters ever work out that restricting immigration isn't going to solve anything, they'll be looking to switch to a party that has been offering something different, surely, a party that has been opposing the government, rather than echoing it.AnatolyKasparov wrote:Carwyn Jones has some (qualified tbf) admirers on here.

I'd slight misgivings but Williams did away with those. The specific regional examples given provoke discussion, they're not blueprints."I would like to propose a thought experiment.
What would happen if immigration was a devolved issue? How many immigrants do you want in your constituency, or county?
...f you could run your county as a country, what would your borders look like? How would that affect your local economy,
your civic institutions, the future of your communities? Of course it is hypothetical, but it would foster understanding,
between one interest and another, one region and another.
At the moment, we’re dealing in half-truths, untruths and mistrust; in this dusk of unspoken resentments..."
It'd really puncture holes in propaganda if regular people sat around a table and thrashed out community planning based upon facts.
"...ndividual employers might be forced to confront the impact of low wages, rather than statisticians breezily pronouncing
that wages might be stagnant, but that isn’t immigration’s fault. Regions wouldn’t need to be gleefully informed by the liberal
commentariat that they were only worried about foreigners because they didn’t know any: they could do their own maths and
reach their own conclusions."

Re: Monday 12th December 2016
The problem (as I understand it - might be wrong) with WTO trading is not we have to deal with 160 other countries (plus the 27 EU ones) but that we have to make a new deal for each and every item/produce/product we want to sell. Then we have to work out what "our" quota for that product was under the EU umbrella, agree if we can still have that amount with WTO counties, and then what tariff will apply. Some products may have two tier tariff where the first xxxkg/amount is on one tariff and anything over that goes under another. Producers here will then have to work out who pays what tariff in cases where there are more than one producer looking to export the same goods.

When you read it it's not particularly good though is it?Tubby Isaacs wrote:Guardian sticking the shocking news that HS2 Ltd have produced some education material high up on the front page. Really.
“It aims to educate and inform children, young adults, and their families about HS2 and the employment and training opportunities it will create and support, prioritising schools closest to the line of route, stations and depots, with a focus on schools that are in more deprived areas and score below average for educational attainment.”
A bit like Trumps "I like uneducated people"

In 2015, the wealthiest 62 people on the planet owned as much as the poorest half of humanity and 1% now have more wealth than the rest of the world combined. One of the key activities underlying this extreme inequality is a systematic abuse of the global tax system.

It's something like Coke and MickeyDs producing educational material to teach about nutrition in the US, or big oil companies producing teaching materials about the environment. On the other hand we have quite a few diversity/green/kind of lefty projects coming in to school to run projects - there's one here today. They're right, of course, but still...

Kind of. Heads, governing bodies (whatever they might be called for the different flavours of school around now) or even department leads can make these decisions - classroom teachers often have to do what they're told.Tubby Isaacs wrote:It's all optional.

Forest Hill 'stabbing': Attacker shouted 'I want to kill a Muslim' while chasing passengers
Police say they are not treating the attack as terrorism-related

Why? If this was a Muslim man knife waving the whole area would be on lock down.

I am aware of that of course, but pandering to the latter types is no better. It was undoubtedly disappointing from him.yahyah wrote:Carwyn speaks in a country where language/ethnicity/accents are already a cause for discontent, not just for Kippers but for a lot of 'progressive' Welsh Nats and members of Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg.

Intelligent man, Mr Brady. I used to answer letters from prisoners in Prison Service HQ. One day had a literate, well argued letter which stood out from the rest. It was from Mr Brady and I did a bit of a start when I realised. A higher up took that one off me pretty sharpish.

Re: Monday 12th December 2016
I read in a magazine yesterday that a successful crime writer who lives in Brighton has donated two cars to the local police force. He has his name on them as advertising.
I found this, from 2008 when he gave the first car.
