EU NICE

Windy and noisy here. Peak due at 11-12am. rather strange at 6.30 as it was rather clam with a few gusts. Main problem maybe the water level in the Bristol Channel with a full moon and a spring tide combining with the south-westerly gale forcing water up the Bristol Channel. The Environment Agency has prepared pumps out on the Somerset Levels.

ISSUES

How can a teacher get a balanced argument on climate change without a budget of billions to balance the energy companies. Do anti-racist comments need to be balanced by racists like Johnson, Rees-Mogg and Knob Farage.

POLICE CORRUPTION

Katy@KatyJayne101·11hBreaking: The Government have asked the Met not to publish over 300 photographs from its investigation into Downing Street parties, amidst concerns that it would name and shame the rank, hypocritical bastards who broke the rules that everyone else in the country followed.

IMPARTIALITY

The culture war continues. New guidance seems to make teachers avoid issues like racism and empire and colonialism. These topics should be taught in a balanced manner. What does that mean? The Amritsar massacre for example – How does one have a ‘balanced view of a slaughter’? Slavery – ??? And then what is ‘particularly contentious’? or a contested theory? The world is flat? Climate change has nothing to do with people? the Earth was made by god 8000 years ago? Zahawi uses the word fact. Johnson is a liar is a fact is it not?

Another example of the Government trying to micromanage education and its war against compassion, sympathy, empathy, justice and British Values.

WEATHER

Tad windy – or blowing a houlI think I remember from Cornwall. Certainly a bit noisy as Dudley blows through – and we are missing the worst of it – then Eustace on Friday. My dilemma is to plant or not to plant? Will it be too soon? It is very mild for February.

ROYALTY

First Andrew and now Charlie. Police are investigating money for honours. I am at a loss to remember just why we pay for them? The only benefits seem to be to provide headlines for the Mail and Sun.

ROYALTY

Time to go, time the British Public stopped hankering after the fairy tales of their infancy. FFS grow up and let those born to privilege get a proper job.
