So an article from over a year ago, tell that to the parents of kids who are taking the gov to court because their children cannot be provided the same level of support in a state school........... "Smaller schools with lower fees are believed to be most at risk, and government sources have told the publication that these schools are under close scrutiny. To counteract potential disruptions, a government source told The Times: "We have to plan for the worst. But there’s a limited amount we can do, so contingency plans are necessary." Meanwhile, the ISC, which represents 1,400 private schools, announced in November that it had decided to take legal action against the Government. In late December, the ISC revealed that six families, supported by the ISC, officially filed a judicial review claim to the High Court to challenge the introduction of VAT." https://www.business-live.co.uk/enterprise/government-prepares-potential-private-school-30666486

Don't try and tell me what I posted, I know what I posted and it was not opinions but factual statements that were then backed up with credible links.

Also known as blaming the messenger. I stated facts and backed them up with credible links. Unlike you who already admitted your post was a little tongue in cheek.

Not all private schools are charities at all. Some are for profit, some not and some are on a charitable basis.

I also think its disgusting that Hamas was using the last functioning hospital in North Gaza, again. I thought they would have learnt from the last time but nope.

Ok that was quick, so in turn here's another update from the anti terrorists and their interview with the Hospital Director: He admits that there were at least 16 staff members at the hospital who also had positions within the Hamas military organization. Hamas leaders had their own office/phone line at the hospital. Hostages were held there. They had their own ambulance to travel in. https://x.com/AGHamilton29/status/1872747323429949523

I was waiting for you to come up with that one, very happy you didn't disappoint and instead displayed again the way Hamas operate. Great news, they've arrested the Director of the hospital who is a Hamas terrorist! Just like his predecessor was. Operational activity began in the area of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in the last few hours following intelligence regarding the presence of terrorist infrastructure and operatives carrying out terrorist activities. IDF troops are conducting targeted operations in the area while mitigating harm to uninvolved civilians, patients, and medical personnel. While maintaining ongoing communication with hospital officials, the IDF and @cogatonline continue to make extensive efforts to enable patients to continue receiving care in other hospitals by facilitating the evacuation of patients from the Kamal Adwan Hospital, the ongoing transfer of supplies, food, and fuel to the area, and the restoration of operations of hospitals in the area. https://x.com/IDF/status/1872606911012471118 All the info and evidence to the above is contained in this thread link: https://x.com/EFischberger/status/1872625254788722784 Here is the previous director of Kamal Adwan Hospital. Listen to what he says if you want the truth https://x.com/AGHamilton29/status/1872746630900007150 & finally, keep up the great work @bannork please post when the IDF again get some more of those evil terrorists.

Not read the article then, it is true

Stop deflecting from the previous false claims you made and own up to them. Still waiting on this, none of your responses have addressed it and instead deflected with unassociated strawman nonsense. Then state better stop discussing it because mods would deem it bickering. Weak, very weak.

Here we go again, blaming the messenger the Telegraph in this case No nonsense and stop making things up about what I suggest. Mum-of-three Rebecca, from Somerset, believes the new fees are "unfair", she said: "If they can guarantee my child will turn up at a state school and they will get the help they need, I have no problem. But they can't." https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0kjj40zrexo Heading for court… The policy may soon be tested as Sinclairslaw prepares to make a challenge at the High Court. The case involves a child refused an EHCP by the local authority. With no suitable state secondary school, her mother felt she had little choice but to fund an independent placement. It’s not clear if the parent appealed to the SEND Tribunal, as many others do. 98.3% who do, prevail in their appeal though it’s a long, hard road and not everyone can manage it. She claims it’s a violation of human rights, and it will be up to the courts to decide if it agrees. https://www.specialneedsjungle.com/children-send-deserve-better-pawns-vat-wars/ Alexis Quinn, whose daughter is autistic, said adding VAT at the standard rate of 20% to fees will force many children with special educational needs into "unsuitable placements" in the state sector. Ms Quinn has so far raised more than £72,000 to foot the cost of a legal challenge in the High Court. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwy7rgyljz4o

Rubbish deflection. You made a blanket statement with no credible explanation of how. I gave you just one example that you missed. If the state sector had all the services needed for SENDS there would be no need for the Special Schools. Get things right. Special needs children not protected from private school VAT raid, says Bridget Phillipson “I know how desperately let down they feel by a system that isn’t delivering and I will deliver a better state sector for children to make sure that there is more specialist support within mainstream settings. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/10/27/special-needs-not-protected-labour-schools-vat-raid/ https://archive.ph/0KYmG You should probably start looking in the related topic, link at the bottom of the OP for more info.

More of the same narrative that caused so much divide, doing their best to discredit a book on the subject and insisting it was zoonotic These authors wanted to push the COVID-19 lab-leak theory. Instead they exposed its weaknesses Yet if the authors were truly concerned with the origin of COVID-19, they would give proper due to the prevailing scientific judgment about it: that COVID was “zoonotic,” spilling over from infected animals to humans via natural contact the way most viruses known to science have reached humankind. https://archive.ph/mVXyw https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/books/story/2021-11-15/these-authors-wanted-to-promote-the-lab-leak-theory-of-covids-origin-instead-they-exposed-its-weaknesses

Useless blanket statement. For one, there are special private schools that provide the needs for children that are not available in the state sector.

That's a highly inflammatory claim, one that he denies and is attributed to a so called friend saying he witnessed it. Is this how far you go to discredit people, spread false info?

Another example of the media pushing the its a conspiracy angle for anyone that doesn't believe the narrative. U.S. government debunks COVID lab-leak conspiracy theory, enraging conspiracy theorists The lab-leak conspiracists were certain that the report would validate their contentions, for which there has never been any valid scientific evidence. https://archive.ph/1EKe8 https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2023-06-26/u-s-government-debunks-covid-lab-leak-conspiracy-theory-enraging-conspiracy-theorists

My pleasure, and yes I agree. There's lots in that timeline that can be referenced for both sides of the debate.

The media of course is responsible for many of the arguments. Those that continue to dismiss one or other of the theories such as this prime example. The COVID lab leak claim isn’t just an attack on science, but a threat to public health https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2024-08-15/column-the-covid-lab-leak-claim-isnt-just-an-attack-on-science-but-a-threat-to-public-health

It was just a lame attempt to blame the messenger WSJ. The same theme was published by Forbes back in Feb Timeline: How The Covid Lab Leak Origin Story Went From 'Conspiracy Theory' To Government Debate https://www.forbes.com/sites/marisadellatto/2023/02/26/timeline-how-the-covid-lab-leak-origin-story-went-from-conspiracy-theory-to-government-debate/ EDIT: Oh look below, another one blaming the messenger.........lol

Well you would disagree, but they are the facts and you will not find any numbers on how many for a particular incident from Rule 14 that requires a full trial with evidence to determine. Again no splitting hairs here just correcting you on the false information you provided here: Not true as my post already stated simple1. It is possible.

Again, I know what the article contents are:

Exactly, anyone who takes the word of Hamas Health Authority at face value with no evidence to present other than hear say and then calls other people callous for not believing them is living in a Hamas propaganda bubble. Bit like that time they said 800 deaths including children in the Al-Ahli hospital in Gaza after an Israeli missile strike, they revised it down to 500, then the US and other European countries stepped in and revised it down to a couple of hundred at the most with some estimates at just 50. To top it all off, it was a Hamas rocket that misfired so their own terrorists did it. The death numbers put on official records did not of course reflect that fact, just more deaths to add no matter how or who killed them to the total.

Its 100% relevant that its a Times article and a fairly good one at that. You give a link to a website that is not the Times but all it has on that page is a copied and pasted Times article. To question why I mentioned it is bizarre. Anyway, its not on topic so has no relevance.

Whom? I believe facts. What a ridiculous question, do you really think I would believe the terrorists Hamas or Hamas supporting media? Back on topic this is about Fews having the wrong data on their latest famine report and as a result removing it from their website.

Another one, fortunately survived. Man, 67, 'intentionally' burned in New York's Penn Station A man was burned inside Manhattan's Penn Station train terminal on Friday, just days after a woman was set ablaze inside a Brooklyn subway car. Metropolitan Transportation Authority police received a report of a man on fire at the transit hub just before 8pm, and when officers arrived on the scene, they found a 67-year-old man on fire near the entrance to the subway, according to the New York Daily News. He had burn injuries to both her legs and upper body, which a fire department spokesman told the New York Times were serious but not life threatening. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14231583/Man-intentionally-burned-New-York-Penn-Station.html

So this is wrong? Pretty sure its 100% accurate
