Why anyone would want to work in the Home office at the moment is beyond me.

Good to see you TC. I'm afraid to tell you it's been over 1000 years and we're all AI chatbot copies of posters who died long ago.

This forum is now a discussion of ancient politics, an archaic system which was rendered obsolete when the cats took over.

I watched most of it and it was a decent entertaining debate. A bit of healthy political rough and tumble that was a far cry from the insane freak shows the Tories indulged in. Kate Forbes maybe went a bit far in some of her criticisms of Humza Yousaf but that was about it. It certainly wasn't the vicious bloodbath the English press are trying to portray it as.

Yousaf won it by a mile in my humble estimation.

James Bowen, director of policy for the National Association of Head Teachers, said: “It is hard to be anything other than deeply concerned by this announcement.

“The overwhelming majority of schools are doing nothing more than following the government’s own statutory guidance when it comes to relationships and sex education. It is worth remembering that the current curriculum was subject to extensive consultation before it was introduced.

“We have seen no evidence to suggest there is a widespread problem with pupils being presented with age-inappropriate materials, and if this were the situation, we would expect it to have been picked up on a case-by-case basis.

“There is a real concern that this is a politically motivated review, rather than one based on the reality of what is happening in the vast majority of schools up and down the country.”
