    Poorer white pupils neglected for decades, say MPs

    White working class pupils have been failed by decades of neglect in England's education system, a report by MPs says.
    "The Education Select Committee argues it is a national scandal how poorer white children have been let down.
    It says use of the term "white privilege" is not helpful as it contributes to "systemic neglect" of white pupils from low income families.
    The government says it is committed to making sure no child is left behind.
    The committee's chairman, Robert Halfon, accuses the government of "muddled thinking" in failing to target support at disadvantaged white pupils - who underachieve from early years through to GCSEs, A-levels and university entry.
    Poorer white pupils are falling behind "every step of the way", he warned."

    My background was unarguably working class. But I would contend that my level of education roughly matches anyone on here. Ok, there may be the odd contributor with a Masters or a PHD but I doubt there are many. It's not the education system that let's them down it is the fact that they, and probably their parents, are idle and/or feckless. They worry more about getting their next Supermacs delivered or who is winning Come Dancing than learning to read, write or work out that the APR on their loan is ripping them off.

    Antibes is nicer but the whole of the Cote D'Azure is a bit NF. Montpelier is a bit downmarket, worth going down a bit further to Collioure

    It's a start, I suppose.

    It's not just kids missing out because of this supposed 'white privilege', all white people in general seem to be disadvantaged as we are told that we can't apply for certain jobs these days because of our skin colour. Blanket covering the white population with the term 'white privilege' is just nonsense considering the majority of white people come from working class backgrounds and have never been privileged in their lives.

    Of course not. He made a silly mistake.

    Pompey sacked the stadium announcer when we were playing Liverpool.

    They brought on N'gog and he read it out over the tannoy as Nig nog
