I agree but that doesn't make it less true. Standards are plumetting either way unfortunately. I think what's needed is a bit of bloody riggour
Bad spelling again young Gwass, stand at the back of the class. See me after. Now boys and girls, let's all sing The Red Flag again.
Consider my hand slapped :-)

Not sure what you're getting at?
If you mean the riots, I agree it was depressingly predictable anyone with half a brain could have seen it coming with the state of things.
I'm not sure how that proves or disporoves anything I've said though? :-)

Rotherwas Ribbon wasn't wrecked by pressure from immigrants but by developers catering to housing demand from rich people and there are likely to be a hell of a lot of prehistoric site losses from now on for exactly the same reason. That ought to be recognised, and fully discussed here, I'd have thought.
Absolutely. I'm a bit ashamed I allowed myself to get so sidetracked. We can't possibly blame immigrants for the fact that the current government is undermining our heritage.

Back of the class ST, the corner at least surely? I'd and give him a choice...the sin bin, 100 lines or a 6 of the best :-)

Only 6? Shame that'll have to do then! ;-)

Yes then you can sue the teacher for assault and he'll spend the next five years in jail, lose his pension and be unemployable after that. In fact you'd probably meet up with him the next times you loot Boots the chemist :D

Could you ask your Tory friend if he can pick holes in this Guardian editorial http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/sep/04/observer-editorial-rural-development-housing
Bet he can't. They're out to damage our country in order to do a favour to their mates, same as the forest sell-off.
There's a chink in their dirty pack of lies visible where they say it's to help first time buyers. Development economics will dictate that good quality houses willl get built on the rural, good quality land, not lo-cost stuff.
