  1. Reflexes too, but VO2Max is if critical importance any effort over around 45 seconds, and these will be two minutes rounds. Its going to be ugly.
  2. No you haven’t. But you are doing a splendid impression of a pigeon playing chess.
  3. These are very strange ideas. where did you get them from?
  4. I’m up for it. Try challenging my argument with one of your own. Give it your best go.
  5. I suspect his promoters see an opportunity for a killing. It doesn’t matter how good an athlete was when he was in his 20s and 30s, by the time he gets into his 50s he already lost a significant portion of his VO2Max. If he can’t get a knock out in round one it’s going to be an embarrassing end to a great boxer.
  6. One of the best ways to improve a school is for the parents of children at the school to get involved in the schools governance, it’s why state schools in middle class neighborhoods so often have very much higher scores. The highly motivated parents of whom you speak will a long with their children be a positive addition to the state schools they enroll at. They’ll also save some money. Win win.
  7. Nobody has taken away private schools. Carrdus was obviously on the ropes, read the reviews, high staff turnover was already a problem. How about giving all children a high standard education and then letting them decide what they want to do in life?!
  8. Is he accepting suggestions of who that man should be and wether or not to bring him back or not?
  9. Putting the single biggest private recipient of Government funding in charge of ‘Government Efficiency’, it’s bound to be a corrupt scam.
  10. Primary schools and prep schools are not the same thing.
  11. It’s a primary school remember, and a ‘prep school’, you know what a ‘prep school is?
  12. You don’t see anything wrong with parents purchasing advantage over other children in the exams to selective state schools. Of course you don’t. Who cares if kids can’t buy such advantage, unless of course it was the application of VAT that robbed them of the ability to do so.
  13. Yes, the nation needs good education services for all children. I’m delighted to see the Labour Government placing the funding and improvement of state education at the center of their policies
  14. A particular market of the Cardus School is parents who wish to prep their children for the exams to enter selective state schools. Game the system to get an advantage over children from less financially fortunate backgrounds, to get a slice of an excellent state school education. Every family buying such advantage is taking it from a child with less financial backing.
  15. The state education system will benefit from extra £Billions and the employment of thousands of extra teachers. Nobody is being forced to leave the military, and why does your argument about children with sow is needs ignore those whose parents have never been able to afford private schools? The Government are entirely right to refocus on state education, those wishing to buy privilege can still do so, they just have to pay VAT.
  16. Hence the increased funding to state education, to provide the education all children have a right to regardless of the financial circumstances they were born into.
  17. The majority of people have never been able to afford private eduction, I don’t see you sympathizing with them.
  18. The Government have given their funding plan and stated how many more teachers they plan to employ. Austerity is over, the damage austerity is being addressed and funding public education is back. The reliance on private schools was a direct result of the damage austerity was doing f to the state schools, it’s a symptom of the failure to support state schools not a failing of state schools.
  19. Over a decade of austerity has taken its toll, the Government have, as mentioned many times, increased spending by £Billions. Investing in the education of the nation’s children regardless of the financial circumstance of their birth, not abandoning children’s education because their parents can’t afford to buy privileged access. It’s a very welcome change for the better.
  20. I use the term buying privilege, because that what is being bought. The State sector schools provide excellent education, they don’t provide privilege. The significant increase in spending on state education will help provide better education for millions of children, regardless of the financial circumstances they were born into. The reversal of over a decade of austerity visited upon those reliant upon state schools is a very welcome change for the better
  21. Who knew. Now did you get the memo, the Labour Government has taxed the few buying privilege in education and has massively increased spending on education fir the many. That too is real life Brian, and it’s a welcome improvement.
  22. Brian, you invented a bunch of crap, it’s for you to defend it, not me.
  23. It’s not a deflection Brian, at no time have I ever argued “so everyone should travel in one class on a plane, eat the same food, shop in the same shops, buy the same standard home and car” Completely fabricated by you.
