Unlike your namesakes who simply crashed the economy in 2007 costing the taxpayer c£23bn, knocking 6% off GDP, increasing unemployment by 750k and leading to a decade of austerity. I blame the teachers. 🤡 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asthehills Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Don’t the schools have grit boxes that the staff could treat the carpark and pathways with? Or would that come under not being their job. It certainly happened at numerous private offices this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notorious local gammon manages to find fault and can only compare to his beloved “private offices”. Your ongoing hatred of the education system really is bordering upon the irrational.

Changing the subject to divert attention away from your own moronic comments? Surely not. Your attitude towards the education system is becoming increasingly irrational. Remember, you have previously stated on here that you would like to halve the direct teacher cost per pupil, presumably by halving wages or doubling class sizes. This is simply absurd. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn’t ask for a response? If you had you would have had one. Anyway, talking of changing the subject when I did in fact ask you direct questions, Do you fancy answering them?

hissingsid Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 The public are fast losing patience with this long drawn out performance, at first the teachers had a lot of support but the tide has turned now and they have lost most of it. Everyone is having a tough time and teachers who are whining that they have to do additional jobs to pay their way are not getting sympathy from the many people who are earning a lot less than them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mention at all of any actual demands. She also sounds very flustered. To me that is an interview given by a militant union leader who is beginning to accept that they are losing what little support they had and laying the groundwork to allow them to cancel any future action without actually having negotiated any further deal. Probably because she knows they won’t get it and that if they carry on they will reduce the chance of any public support if they try again in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Lynch was the same on GMTV yesterday. He now realizes that he’s the Grinch who stole Christmas fir everyone and nobody really gives a shit about him or his Union anymore. This is all political, it’s got nothing to do with pay anymore. It’s people with sad power complexes getting off on fucking the public over. Nothing else. They might as well tell us we have a Christmas lockdown coming as that’s what the unions want. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NASUWT were using here as a test bed before trying to push for big rises in the UK. They failed, and now Scotland have already accepted a rise of a lower percentage than here have had for this year (and I think our had already had an additional one last year?) plus ours are now on London Fringe money and have a higher starting rate than anywhere in the UK by quite some margin. Time to give it up before they look anymore silly and greedy than they already do, and before too many parents become fully aware of how generous the scales they are now all taking home each month actually are. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree people have had enough. Every time I hear that Geraldine with her angry and aggressive voice she makes my blood boil. This has got nothing to do with pay. It’s union bullies trying to live out 1970s strike fantasy’s. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
