I think you dreaming it would make it more likely than reading it in the Mail TBH

 

You might like to sign this petition. Read it through first. The House of Lords will decide this coming week whether to scrap a scheme reuniting refugee children with their families. This is what the petition asks for:
URGENT! Keep reuniting child refugees with their families after Brexit

Do you not think the present government have realised their mistake with the change in the benefit system. Am I wrong to understand they will try and do something about this. Didn't I read somewhere they were addressing this problem. Or have I got that wrong? At the time I still thought it wouldn't be enough. Or maybe I dreamt it.......?

I wish I could Chilcs
I have already looked around but couldn't find it. To be honest I may not have even read it this country. I just remember my wife and I discussing the point. Sadly she cant remember either. I'll keep trying sometimes something will come up that will stir a memory. She reads the Mail so it could have come from them and I saw it. Sorry mate nothing to back it with at mo.........

Pre election "promise" https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-50278634 let's see what happens.

Are you aware of this site Beds https://fullfact.org/ ? Useful starting point for research.

 

Interesting look at the election fact checking process.

Changes definitely required given the misuse of uncontrolled media.

Signed and shared - just the thought of this being passed makes my blood boil

 

Signed, and I couldn't put it better than you have Dave.

 

Could this be a cake and eat it situation similar to a free trade agreement with no regulatory alignment? Oh of course whether the cake should be from a UK or European recipe would be subject to a separate negotiation.

 

It’s exactly the sort of thing which was going to be no problem at all to sort out, according to the Leave campaign prior to the referendum.

 

And it won't be a problem. Because in a year's time there will be no cars produced in Britain to export. Well maybe a handful of Morgans.

 

There's education and education. A workforce that has the skills for the economy or one where children are taught to question everything.

 

Yeah. Kids at age five when they start school should be taught bricklaying and welding and go out to work when they are 8 years old. Whatever you do don't teach them to think for themselves otherwise the Tories will be ****ed.

So let us be sensible, education is about the development of the autonomous individual who has the ability and the freedom to act independently.

 

Surely those run along side each other. There's a happy medium blind acceptance without question leads to abuse. Respect where respect is earned.

 

The two should go together but with the focus on stats, and if the current education secretary is anything like the "wonderful" Gove, the choices might be restricted.

 

This was prevalent un the 50s. A friend of mine went to school in Gosport. He never questioned anything as teacher was always right. He never questioned anything he was taught.

 

Well he didn't go to the same schools as me then.....all I can say is we used to have the occasional question time during classes. The teachers used to encourage you to a point to question things.
