No, it's not even a good thing to aim for. You cannot get rid of hierarchies. They are inevitable, in just about every endeavour you can think of. The fact is, we are not all equal - intelligence, athletic ability, artistic ability etc etc. These are facts of life. So there will always be hierarchies.

It is right that the best should get to the top.
It is also good that society works not to leave those less fortunate too far behind. But equality of outcome...equity ( Mad )...is not a good thing to aim for. It's simply impossible to achieve, and would be ruinous if you tried to force it artificially, as we are beginning to see (again).


So because the thick kids parents are high in a particular hierarchy that child gets to enjoy a leg up thats denied the clever kid whose parents are lower down in the hierarchy. Yes hierarchies exist, nobody denies that but regimes that protect privalidge by either actively protecting groups enjoying such or by omitting to protect others with capacity from accessing successes, thats bad and that's what the right actively promotes.


Why do you assume I think this? It's not what I said at all. The quote is above. Read it again if you like. Perhaps after you've read it a few times, you'll understand it.
You're just another one who wants equality of outcome, but doesn't get what it would actually mean in practical terms. I'm talking about a society that has equality of opportunity (and no one denies there is work to be done in this area), and achievement based on merit.

There are things I don't like about what all the parties say and do at times. That's why we need all sides of the coin in our politics. Anyone who wants only one side is going to be in for disappointment if they actually get it. It's not a good thing to strive for. And you will never have perfection in any political system. You hopefully do the best you can, but it means constant adjustment. This is something that never ends - it cannot. You're dreaming of a state that is perfect and never needs any more work. Good luck with that.

There's been an undeniable drift to the left in education and mainstream media over the years. Personally I don't think this has really materialised into anything tangible in this country beyond the shrillness of the whining.

Worth trotting this out again if you're wondering why:

Getting back to Labour I think Momentum are the most off-putting aspect of Labour for the electorate. They've shown their back-stabbing capabilities extend all the way to the top. Would you trust a party with such a dangerous internal faction?

What utter shit. Have you missed the RMT and other union banners at these school children "climate change" demonstrations? I've certainly noticed them on the news clips.

Why do you think they're being branded as "strikes"? Who exactly are the children denying of their services? It's not a "strike", they're just being indoctrinated by hard left groups such as XR, who are abusing the badge of "climate change" to get kids to get used to practising civil disobedience against a right of centre government. XR's motives are far more than climate change, they're just using this and children to create the next generation of far left militants.
Take a kid out of school for a day to halve the price of a holiday and you get fined thousands, let them bunk off for the day in the name of climate change and it's actively encouraged by the left wing teachers.
There's a bloody good reason they do these protests on a school day, it's to boost the numbers, by letting the kids bunk off without fear of any trouble. It's like a fecking non uniform day to them.

I don't think I've ever met a right wing teacher in the last 10 years. They're all like you, Peter Pan characters too terrified of the real world, so hide away in educations into their adult life, meaning they never matured out of student lefty politics.


Another one of your delusions. You obviously haven't met any teacher in the last 10 years. Why would you? You blatantly have no children and you have no interest at all in the education system other than the fact that you've decided all teachers must be left wing, because anything even remotely academic is always left wing in your extremely limited world view. You know nothing about teachers.

And what's this about Extinction Rebellion? Why are you talking about a recently formed activist group? The government controls education, you div. This is easy. Should have stayed in school a bit longer.

Also maybe you should ask yourself why the nation is going down the pan, full of thickos like yourself with a myopic and naive world view based on lies and hysteria. Maybe it's because idiots like you consistently claim that the teaching profession is not worthy, so there are no good teachers left to raise tomorrow's generation. And then you claim for some reason that even teachers, who work and pay tax like anyone else, are somehow not the correct kind of worker or the correct kind of taxpayer. They somehow are work dodgers too. Is anything ever good enough for you? Is your brain actual fully functional? Rhetorical question, the answer is obvious.

Teachers (at least in the state sector) on the whole are Labour supporting remainers with an interest in XR.

State education is a socialist concept, it figures that teachers are those who want to give back to society rather than plunder it. I would hazard a guess that there are precisely zero teachers with capitalist expectaions in the teaching world (Excluding philanthropist types who have already made their pile of wealth and are now looking to better themselves). Not that they won't let you know just how much they need that raise....

Real world work tends to be a lot more comfy, the market drive means that companies tend to compete with better terms, wages, perks and so on. Teaching looks like a pretty draining and thankless task working for a sole employer, the state, on fixed terms.

I take it the 6 teachers you know are aware of your opinion of their chosen profession, or are they the exceptions?

My stepfather apprenticed and served in Devonport dockyard for a while before going into teaching, I should imagine that most of your Millwall FC office worker mates would piss themselves in terror if they had to suffer a dockyard apprenticeship.
Those who don't see teachers at home don't appreciate that teachers tend to be teaching when they are at school which means that they'll be grading work for several hours at home each evening and for several hours on Saturdays and Sundays.
Sure, you say, but they finish nice and early at 3.30pm, perhaps if you weren't still in bed fisting your morning wood you might glimpse my missus working on school premises by 6.30am at the latest.
As for a generous pension plan, are you telling me that if you had put aside 11% of your wages over 30 years that you'd come out with a pension smaller than that of a teacher?

Ok sorry i was commenting on a general trend on BCF where many seem not to accept there's protectiin of privalidge inherent in our society and even that such us a good thing. However I woyld ask you to re-read my post as ive in no way condoned some system that would be equality of outcome regardless of ability. Its about fairness in oppertunuty and engendering a society where everyone gets a chance to make the very best of their given abilities. If anything the existence of privalidge is a system of "equality of outcome" but one which guarantees those with an advantageous social status are given an equal outcome to those of more genuine merit from outside that more privalidged group.
I think we basically agree with each just did not read each others posts properly. My pists grammar is s#ite as well as when using my phone u nevet edit them as irs awkward enough jyst typung the pist in the first place Shocked

What really annoys me are those who get into politics thinking they have all the answers and instead just make things worse.

And you think all teachers start off as dockyard workers? Get real. Most never work or live outside of education all their life.

Yeah, I've heard this myth that they spend hours every day marking homework, or preparing for lessons. I suppose this myth is needed so people don't realise they only work for 6 hours a day, 195 days a year.

I'm not sure when my teacher mates do these extra 40 hours a week, because they always seem to be down the pub.

It's just how all union led, left wing state workers behave. They all whine like a drain that they're over worked, be it Junior Doctors, Firemen, Police of teachers.


I suppose that if you view Ashford as a standard for stereotypical teachers then it's not hard to understand your view. Some of the thickest cunts I've ever had the displeasure to meet came from that neck of the woods.

Oh look, mpd72 once again desperately trying to maintain his fantasy hate narrative even when presented with hard evidence from someone who actually knows what they're on about.

What a surprise Rolling Eyes

...And in typical Lord Percy left wing mode, you try to claim the intellectual high ground by calling someone who doesn't agree with you a "thick cunt". You lot really do hold yourselves in such high regards don't you? It's quite sad really, but sums up the left and it's unusually high proportion of smug, self important hypocrites.


Sorry, that comment wasn't aimed at you, believe me when I say that if I want to call you that you'll know it will be directed at you so there is no mistaking.
You cannot seriously tell me that you haven't been out and about in the locality and winced with some of the stuff the locals come out with? I always put it down to the quality of the education in the area but perhaps I'm wrong and it's genetical? Maybe I'd have a different view if I hadn't lived just up the road for a good few years, it just wasn't something I noticed in the rest of Kent, but then I suppose a Kentish Man might have a bias.
