Sunak and maths

[Michael Rolls]

I see that the PM wants all school children to study maths until they are 18. Is that the new school leaving age? I left school at 16 - but it was the dark ages, I suppose

You've had to remain in some sort of education til 18 for a long time. It started when the youth unemployment numbers became embarrassing.

Yes, that was one of Blair's first fiddle-the-figures stunts.

[Michael Rolls]

Thanks - I'd forgotten Blair's jiggery-pokery!

[Raven]

They can leave school at 16 and do a couple of years at college doing some course they would like and find useful for their future........Can't they.

[klondike]

Yes. What they can't do is sign on and embarrass the government with high youth unemployment.

Blair's master card

Yes. What they can't do is sign on and embarrass the government with high youth unemployment.

And that's the reason the system was introduced.

The majority still end up on benefits, but as adults.

The people who need practical lessons in maths are the politicians. They need to live a year on average earnings with typical expenditures and no expense accounts. 

[Ashy]

Agreed. Especially the career politicians on the gravy train. 82K from the first day and they are completely isolated from real life.

Yes and listen to a constantly aggressive reduction on individual preferences over;

1) What type of car you drive, or in actuality won't be able to afford to drive when they finally get their way

2) Having to have a 'heat pump', no choice if your boiler crashes in a few years time

3) Not being allowed to travel more than 104 times a year out of your postcode area by car.

4) Standing by helplessly watching as an 'elected' prime minister and Chancellor are bounced out by a group of 'fascists' currently replacing them with pyscho's like Hunt and extraneously familied Billionaire Globalist glove puppets like the present occupant of number 10. Sooty you see, now finally rules OK.

5) Expect any day soon to be re-entering 'Lockdownitis' as the 247 neo-libergal, green, Waitrose Woke Tories fret at the bit over not being able to control you like a pack of gerbils in a cage. Meanwhile no enquiry into why 1,500 people a week aged 25-58 have suddenly started dropping dead, because it might effect big Pharma's mega profits.

6) Have Energy levies from hell, whilst prime product prices reach terminal velocity in decline. All this as many live in fear about what the 'Norman Bates' lookalike in number 11 won't be doing to help and can't wait to screw everyone, to satisfy his miserable ago at the same time.

7) Throw money at the World's most bent economy (Ukraine) in a sick attempt at promoting'Global Solidarity'.

8) Hear every damn day how 'Peter Pan' has to be banned for being termed a fairy and the word 'field' is racist, in common with that varlet Winston Churchill.

9) Watch hotels of historic note and other such notable building defiled by homing foreign interlopers, killers and rapists, whilst former war hero's freeze on the streets.

10) Stand aside as idiots like Johnson's wife and an ugly rat faced teenager from the land of Gotar prevent our coal being mined, gas being fracked, gas fields in the north sea expanded and nuclear power stations being built, whilst proffering inefficient, hornifying Windmills sprouting up everywhere to suck the very life from our terminally sick economy.

11) Listen to 'Tonto's gunk about what he intends to do about it, when we all know he'll do sweet F.A.

12) As a pensioner,

a) losing your higher income tax allowance granted to OAP's in 1925 by Winston Churchill

b) watch haplessly as your Serps pension inheritance rights to your spouse are savaged by 56% within the same legislations very small print, that also;

c) determined that if you were born before April 6th 1951, the first £45 quid a week of your pension now doesn't get upgraded by the triple lock scheme. And you cannot rely on the bastards to honour it anyway. This because in case you hadn't noticed, all your expenses as you get older magically reduce by the inflation rate currently 18% on food, go on you must have noticed!

d) you don't get automatic screening for bowel cancer and many others etc any more, so just when you might forget something important like this and need a reminder - they've cynically removed it - because at 75 if you develop it, well so what chum, you've lived long enough anyway and don't be greedy you don't deserve to be kept going, because own up, your just an old bag labelled 'useless' and nowadays just an expense out for the Grim Reaper's binmen.

e) you have to pay the TV licence fee now post 75, so even if your still alive and you don't want to watch the 10 hours of podcasts about how unrepentant Jemima Begum is to carrying baskets about containing severed heads. No, you've still got to fork out for the British Bashing Corporation to tell you about how she thinks its disgusting that you can't get 'Mint Aero Bars' these days in the UK.

And they (Tories) have the sunken gall to sell themselves as not being Labour as their only benefit. What could be worse than these faceless cretins?

And lastly how all these ghastly and undemocratic practises are just waved through in Parliament, now a more evil and foul place than it ever was prior to Cromwell cathartically cleansing the filth from the walls and seats nearly 400 years ago. We just don't learn do we?

Brilliant rant Cass 

[klondike]

I enjoyed it. The sad thing is that the vast majority if not all of it is spot on. Where the hell are we heading? I read that the Irish are banning immigration protests near to places housing migrants. We don't seem to even have the balls to protest except small communities when there is a threat of inundation. Most of our gatherings apart from those seem to be waving immigrants welcome banners. Well imo those folk are certainly welcome to the bloody parasites.

More really of a summing up for the 'Prosecution'. I've watched and listened these past years and was glad the memories notepad was still in tact. The semantics are forgivable I purport, within the sad misrepresentation of Conservatism by the 'Blob' and it's past principals as I knew them.
