Teaching really does bring this home. I remember watching a bunch of 5 year olds suffer through an assembly for Remembrance Day. It’s just so outside their existence. People exist in the moment. What has passed is gone and memories of loved ones exist half a generation at best. Everything is dust.

Tbh it’s weird if every government department doesn’t have subscriptions to a rake of publications.

Funniest thing about this is the fact Deaen was fecking Cassandra as regards as we now need to reintroduce classes for typing. I’m basically a magician to the kid as I I can touch type and bring up any file I want in 3 clicks or less.

The one thing we can all be proud of is the fact successive governments have unfailingly supported Ukraine in this war. However, as articulated by Stephen, I don’t think it’s known how Putin despises us or how concentrated the efforts are to weaken and discredit our leadership.

The salivating over returning to poverty management in the event of hyper inflation has been, oddly and quite blatantly distasteful. Some of it has been vindictive. A weird amount is fetishising Pol Pot policies.

Obviously not the same scale, but can feel the moaning from TFL as bus usage continues to fall and they try stupid gimmicks like reducing fares on random weekends. People use services that work well. Either make them and keep them working well, or people will choose the car or whatever else is going

Have left like 200 newtatesman, spectator, prospect, GQ, private Eye and a couple of dozen papers at the back of my classroom. Supposed to use them for Media. A very happy surprise to see kids reading them every lesson. Get kids to read, have them listen to me for an hour and find an escape

I’m biased as I have one and habe always been at my best when helping people learn, but kids are just great. They’re hard work and sometimes they screw up. But it’s ridiculously nice making them smile and having more of them than adults seems to produce the better societies.

You could just have fun with a billion. Buy a local newspaper, staff it with the clever locals for 3 decades. Have a few bookshops flooded with money but don’t tell them so they spend the next half century in bitter rivalries. Splurge on every fertility and medical research scheme just coz.

On this, fire the staff. You walk through a lunch hall and see this behaviour? Do nothing, you’re fired. Doesn’t matter how tired you are. You engage the children. You check up on them. You settle disagreements calmly, routinely. 5 minutes. Solves the issues 90% of the time. Easy, effective.

Remember seeing a homeless guy with his dog trying to get another night. He was lovely. Staff were lovely. The auld lads I got chatting to in the sauna were lovely. The Scottish couple cooing over Roman, were lovely. The bar staff, kind and checking on a young crying lad, lovely. This is awful.

We stayed in this hotel over the summer. Was the only affordable place in the area and was one of the few old school working class hotels. Acts the leisure center for Folkestone. This is terrible.
