Should I vote Labour

Ah. I have looked. It was the right-wing rant I quoted. Just so you know I rarely take any notice of what they say but write them of a "just another right-wing rant" so having read it that is all I remember. It helps me form my opinion of those who would vote Conservative though

So not something I said then.

It's good to know that those entrusted with the education and care of your DGCs are so respected.
Good to know that many years of damn hard work is appreciated.
Good to know that all the personal cash invested to bring not only the extras but often the basics into the classroom is acknowledged.
Yet another unpleasant, bad-tempered and niggly post.

Emily Thornbury sent her children to private school, when asked about this in a tv interview she said - I want the best for my children and for all children.

I am waiting to hear private education for all in Corbyn' manifesto

I have no idea what you are talking about petra Where did the bit about the Shadow Cabinet come from?

GracesGranMK2
I'm sure many of us know what the shadow cabinet think of 'us'
Have you forgotten Emily Thornberry sneering at white van man and his flag of St George.
And let's not forget Diane Abbott sends her son to a private school while ranting against Grammer schools. She's not the only one but I'm sure you get my drift.

Have you ever heard the saying: If you can't do it, teach it. If you can't teach it, lecture on it.

Not a quote but a misquote, so well done Petra - nearly there It really is good to know you understand "Maxims for Revolutionists"

"To hear people on here you would think that the only job worth having and that qualifies a person to have a political opinion is one in academia, teaching in particular!"

Please show me where this has been said Niggly. Obviously those who actually are teachers have a right to put their view but where has anyone said others may not. I was not a teacher and I am very happy to add my two-penneth.

"No! Why waste a vote. Corbyn & hid cronies will turn the Uk into a shabby, tin pot state where anyone who wants to make something of their lives will be penalised. Most of the labour govt are champagne socialists...with an attitude 'dont do as I do do as I say' look at Blair...a multi millionaire, Brandon who supports them, that Gina woman too! All hypocritical, neo liberals who would rule and squeeze the potential out of us all."

All personal attack, quotes from the gutter press and no facts yet again. I am still waiting to hear some facts!!!

Nigglynellie
Oh how true

nigglynellie Who exactly is that aimed at?

To hear people on here you would think that the only job worth having and that qualifies a person to have a political opinion is one in academia, teaching in particular! It might surprise those of you who hold this opinion that there are other forms of employment that do require a modicum of brain power and that a lot of people employed outside academia can actually read and write, think for themselves and come to decisions reasonably efficiently!!
As for a young couple living in London! FGS, if Jalima says they can, then they can! Why argue with her? Why is it that certain people always know better, even when someone else actually has information first hand? Oh of course, you were teachers, which qualifies you to know better on ALL subjects regardless!

"to date" doesn't mean the same as "in the past". The latter phrase can mean any time in the past but doesn't necessarily include the recent past. "To date" includes the recent past.

My mum was a nurse. My dad was a bus driver. When I went to high school they had to apply for clothing grants for me for the uniform. I had free school meals anyway.
I find it quite sad that things have not progressed that much in over 50 years.

Anniebach Oh sorry I've just realised you said less than £400 per week, not month. It was a genuine misunderstanding and I don't think it warranted your rude reply.

I assume the people who are struggling have expenses that perhaps you don't have - commuting costs, children's clothes and equipment, childcare, etc. And, depending on where they live, their rent/mortgage might be higher than yours.

Time for a tidy up, Jalima. You've got until Thursday to find it.
I might have a hangover in the morning. Haven't had one for years.
However it is a bank holiday, and all I have to do is pick up my granddaughter if she doesn't want to ride too far on her bike in the afternoon, so that's okay.
All morning to recover.

and I have mislaid my postal vote for the local elections
more worries

I can't answer that question really, it's your decision - will you have a hangover in the morning if you do? Decisions, decisions.

Now, pondering over whether this is a virtual gin and whatever I am offering you or if you are having a real one


something to think about, oh dear, worrying now

Should you have answered that, or should you have just left me to ponder?
I'll have to have a gin instead.

Only half a glass left in the bottle tonight so that is all I had

Should I have another glass of wine, Jalima?

Actually, Should I vote Labour ?
is inviting posters to ponder over whether they should or should not vote Labour, it is not inviting them to tell other people how they should vote

Q. Should I vote Labour?
A. You should/ should not vote Labour because.....
The question is not being answered in the correct form.
