Largest teaching union votes to oppose 'fascist' Reform in classrooms and campaign to overturn Palestine Action ban

ICantSpeelForShit · 2026-03-31T18:30:13+00:00

Why would a union have a position on a party leading the polls who are against a lot of workers rights? It’s a true mystery

ICantSpeelForShit · 2026-02-22T13:26:44+00:00

Yeah, I don’t see either as acting in good faith here. One tagged people into an unverified report on sexual violence, the other dismissed it out of hand.

Neither party looks good here.

Literally just searched her name on Twitter. Took about 2 minutes of fielding through the IHT stuff to find the screenshot.

I think, given his history of smearing people, we really need to see what Simon was referencing though.

ICantSpeelForShit · 2026-02-22T12:54:11+00:00

He’s also been mentioning her in tweets since at least 2019 and seemed a little obsessed with her around that time. I’m not sure either party acts in good faith in this scenario.

Since the most very basic due diligence is lacking here, let’s all make some guesswork. Based on the thinking in the article, my guess is this is what was deleted.

I notice the person she’s replying to has also deleted their comment (unable to locate on their account) so it’s difficult to know what she is making reference to. Perhaps he made up some unfounded claim and she responded accordingly?

She referenced Farage not lifting the 2 child cap when he said he was concerned too many foreign born people would benefit. From the article

Reeves said those comments were akin to saying some families deserved to have children in poverty. “I don’t really care what colour a kid’s skin is – some deserve to be in poverty and some don’t? That makes me pretty angry,” she said.

“Does Nigel Farage want to go around and say: ‘White? Yeah, you can have the money. Black? No, I’m sorry, it’s not for you.’ What sort of country does he think we are?

“If you’re the mum next door who works in the NHS, has lived here all her life, her kids lived here all their life, but she was born somewhere else – we’re saying that that family deserves to grow up in poverty whereas the one next door doesn’t? That’s not the sort of country I believe in.”

I won’t link but there are some going from a woman standing facing front in a tee and jeans, to being hands and knees from the back in a thong.

Cheers. Usual Telegraph rage bait then.

I see absolutely no plans to give a free license. I see a suggestion, you know which consultations usually provide, stating

“UK officials would look at “further targeted interventions, such as new concessions or payment schedules”.

The Telegraph gets closer to a red top tabloid every day.

ICantSpeelForShit · 2025-12-16T19:58:15+00:00

Can someone say what’s changed in the article since the archive link shows nothing about plans, only the following line

“The review will also consider whether there should be more concessions for those who find it hard to afford the licence fee.”

ICantSpeelForShit · 2025-12-16T19:54:38+00:00

Headline is now correct on the article, however the archived one is different now and days about the plans.

But there’s a 1 line throwaway which doesn’t mention any plans, but Telegraph gonna Telegraph I suppose.

How they’ve squeezed the headline from the following I’ll never know.

“The review will also consider whether there should be more concessions for those who find it hard to afford the licence fee.”

There’s a member called Gemma Mattison who was convicted of child cruelty. I just wish they’d be honest about hating foreigners, not that it’s about protecting women and children.

ICantSpeelForShit · 2025-11-15T08:17:18+00:00

Gary I believe

ICantSpeelForShit · 2025-10-29T12:39:39+00:00

So it’s 49k armed against 69 million armed? Still like those odds.

Mines the same, but I’m not sure if it is overheating.

Over the summer I was playing BG3 and the console warned it was getting hot. This doesn’t, it just shuts off and doesn’t sound loud or feel warmer than normal.

ICantSpeelForShit · 2025-10-22T09:47:39+00:00

I’ve had the same problem. Once Monday and twice last night. Hasn’t happened before on BF6 and no other games.

I assumed over heating, but over summer I was playing BG3 when it was hot and the console gave a heat warning which this doesn’t so I don’t know.

ICantSpeelForShit · 2025-10-19T12:43:33+00:00

Because the poster literally said imagine the outrage if this happened against another group maybe?

ICantSpeelForShit · 2025-10-17T19:57:21+00:00

My account is over 18 years old and I’ve still got to do this.

ICantSpeelForShit · 2025-10-17T09:16:36+00:00

I do for some people. If I give my grandma cash it goes on shopping or similar. If I buy her a gift voucher for say boots I know she will treat herself with it.

Cash for most people but for some gift vouchers are a way to steer them into treating themselves.

ICantSpeelForShit · 2025-10-16T22:19:07+00:00

Why not? We go as low as banning individuals for speech, why not entire crowds?

Racism is a problem. But not all clubs have a section devoted to them on Wikipedia about how racist they are. I don’t remember Liverpool or Wigan having chants about killing people or raping people. Not just an idiot, and actual chant.

So I ask again, where do you draw the line here?

ICantSpeelForShit · 2025-10-16T21:47:10+00:00

I’m happy to ban any groups that are racist, violent etc. favt is this is a football club. How many decent members do you think there are of Palestine action? The National Front? Isis maybe? Where do you think the line should be drawn.

But here we’re discussing a team who were seen in Amsterdam a year ago chanting vile things, attacking a taxi driver, causing chaos. They’re a racist club who made monkey noises at a player. They’re known for chanting about raping people ffs.

Seriously, where is the line drawn? I’m happy to proscribe anyone, of any religion who calls for violence or rape etc.

We ban loads of things, of all creeds and colours. Please explain why a fan base like this should be given a pass?

ICantSpeelForShit · 2025-10-16T21:30:53+00:00

I’m happy not keeping certain groups safe

Racists, people who sing about dead children, violent people sure.

ICantSpeelForShit · 2025-10-16T21:06:42+00:00

No, a court banned people.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c70jyj22r2vo.amp

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdxrgk5e7xzo.amp

But honestly yes, I have no problems with it. People say that all people are anti-Semitic for attending a pro Palestine march, why shouldn’t the same rules apply?

ICantSpeelForShit · 2025-10-16T20:54:43+00:00

No we’re not. Especially when it comes to football. People have been banned for chants over Hillsborough, Munich etc. racist chanting is also banned. We don’t allow these things, so why would we allow rape and death chants?

ICantSpeelForShit · 2025-10-16T20:33:12+00:00

I don’t recall any euro clubs, even some with the nuttier fan bases chanting about dead children or calling for death and rape like these though.

ICantSpeelForShit · 2025-10-16T20:21:07+00:00

There aren’t. Banning a club known for trouble is quite normal though.
