It seems like the “land of the free” and the “champions of free speech” is not quite as free as you’d think. Solidarity with all those students protesting for the end to a war.

Current mindset: Protests that you agree with are fine and show true democracy and freedom of speech. Protests that you disagree with are not fine, police should intervene and shut them down. Selective libertarians (Just follow the money to find the source of people’s opinions)
Anyone doing their A levels in 2024 has spent their entire education under 14 years of austerity They then get to work in a world of low wages, high house prices, broken services and polluted waterways And then they are gaslit as being ‘lazy Gen Z’ by those who had it easier
14 years of Tory summed up in one photo. Millenials and Gen Z are (rightly) turning their back on a party that has done nothing but make their lives and their prospects worse
Trickledown was a debunked theory that, somehow, Reagan and Thatcher made it mainstream. It’s just created inequality and exploitation
“Disabled people are a problem” “We have a sick note problem” “It’s the fault of asylum seekers” “We must increase military spending” Anyone would think there’s an election coming up and the Tories are desperate for votes!
Words have consequences
UK Conservatism is about maintaining the wealth of the 1% It’s about the elite being in power It’s about workers knowing their place It’s about doffing your cap It’s about looking down on the vulnerable It’s about enriching your mates It’s not about equality, progress & fairness
Shooting the enemy dead when they have been captured and have their hands tied up breaks the #GenevaConvention. It is a #warcrime
Giving profit driven private companies a monopoly over essential public services was always going to end in disaster. Rail, water, energy - all need to be renationalised.
Russia military spend = 100 billion Uk 75 Germany 68 France 61 Italy 35 Poland 31 Spain 23 But yes, if we don’t increase spending Russia could conquer Europe This announcement (+ Rwanda bill) is pure electioneering to win back the ‘nationalist’ voters who’ve defected to reform
“Stack em high, deliver it cheap” seems to be the government policy for education
If #StGeorge were alive today and tried to come to the Uk… …he’d be put on a plane to Rwanda
Is the forcing through of the #RwandaBill just a shameless attempt to try to win back #Reform voters?
They’ve come for the protestors They’ve come for the environmentalists They’ve come for the migrants They’ve come for the asylum seekers They’ve come for the unions And now they are coming for the sick …But they’ll never come for the rich tax avoiders/evaders
Mis-claim benefits, or file a tax return incorrectly by £100 and they’ll be after you Avoid paying £100 million in tax by offshoring your money and you’re put on a pedestal, given tax breaks, and encouraged to make more money to help with ‘trickledown’ The system is broken

NEW 🚨 | Teacher vacancy rates have risen in nearly 90% of English local authorities since 2010. Nearly two-fifths of education staff are considering leaving the profession, and pupil-to-teacher ratios have worsened. The Conservative government has consistently missed teacher…
So you remove our rights, put housing beyond our reach, make it obvious our hard work only enriches a few at the top, impoverish our environment, trash our futures, and profiteer through the worst pandemic in a century... ... then punish us for having poor mental health?
Increase teacher pay by 1% and some schools may basically go under… …don’t pay them more than 1% and they strike. What a time to be a teacher? This all lays at the floor of a government that has spent 14 years devaluing the education of future generations.

When Junior Doctors are on £16 an hour and MP's are on £46 an hour. And raising the Junior Doctors pay by £4 an hour is unaffordable, even though they just raised MP's pay by £5 an hour. It's hard not to see the lie. RT if Junior Doctors NEED paying.
In the 1970's we owned everything, Water, Energy, Oil, Gas, Telecoms, Steel, Shipyards, Mail, Rail, and we had £32bn debt. Now due to Margaret Thatcher's Privatisation we own nothing and have £2800bn debt.
It is impossible to effectively judge and grade a school in 2 days. The judgement is therefore meaningless for parents. And we will continue to see good leaders and teschers leave the profession.
The government need to get a serious grip, the behaviour of some parents and children is beyond foul and schools are expected to stick a wet paper towel on the problem. The situation is only getting worse and no one is taking responsibility for tackling it.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-new…
@RockyWasYer I wish parody accounts would put 'parody' in their bios, as I hate it when I make a fool of myself when I reply. You ARE a parody, aren't you?
Remember during lockdown when we couldn't have exams so schools got to decide what grades their pupils got and every private school in the country just went, "Fuck it. A's for everyone then."
WHY ARE TEACHERS LEAVING THE PROFESSION? •Lack of support •Class sizes •They are worked to the bone •Low salaries •Their time isn’t respected •Better opportunities elsewhere •Inadequate preparation for new teachers •Little to no student/parent accountability DO BETTER!
@SophyRidgeSky @LindaWeatherhe1 Any country that spends more on bullets than it spends on books has its priorities wrong.
Reminds me of Enoch Powell’s 'river of blood’ in his anti immigration rhetoric - Sunak has a ‘river of shite’ in this image..:) With which to fight a confected issue - small boat crossings are just 3.5% of net immigration to our country - but get 99% of the attention.…
