I can confirm that well before he worked for the FA he was minted.

How surprising.

Don't expect me to come to the defence of the referendum. I'm not gonna sully these boards by banging about it only being advisory. The tories clearly said that they'd act on the result.

But in the final analysis our sovereign is the highest authority in the land and if you want to oppose that then actually you are opposing our sovereignty.

EFA - only she can dissolve parliament or ask a political leader to form a government, following which she has to formally open it again. Whilst historically she does not participate in the political arena she still has to sign off everything that parliament passes.

I wasn't interested in pursuing ideology, my own nor anybody else's.

The opinions you share here don't influence other people's? Is the HOL adults only or could your opinions expressed freely here be read by kids?

Is teaching something you only did in the classroom?

Anyhow no offence intended.

Indeed but of course our unwritten constitution means that she signs off on whatever Parliament asks her to sign off on. And so I come back to my previous statement that what we are watching here is our sovereignty in action.

Parliament only holds sovereignty because of the will of the people. If this shower think they can get away with ignoring that will they will be punished at the next election.

He made a small fortune from LWT share options before joining the beeb.

Do you think he'd have more political credibility if he'd donated it all to charity?

He's a genuine working class bloke who pulled himself up by his boot straps. I thought you tory types were all for that kind of thing.

That's chalk and cheese isn't it.

A teacher is employed to teach a subject, a person putting out opinion on a politics forum in their own time is a free agent.

A school nor its original paymasters...aka...taxpayers are not paying teachers to teach their idea of politics to their children.....Politics shouldn't even be on the table until further education.

The teachers who do that are not being professional.

No offence taken....just moaning.

I am.....Doesn't mean I have to like the bloke's views does it? I had the displeasure of reading his political views and he managed to consistently annoy me....even more than the repeats.

Do agree, and of course it is changing all the time.

I really didn't get last week, the government in contempt of parliament (first time ever?), by it's own legal officer.

Why no vote of confidence or dissolution?

No of course not. But with reference to your comment about "meet the new boss same as.." he was easily the best boss I ever had.

Just out of curiosity how long do I have to live with the shame of this yellow icon? Do they disappear after a few years of good behaviour?
