In an education sector where the Association of School and College Leaders say there is a "chronic shortage of maths teachers". This plan is just a headline for the Tory press. Strangely, Gove said the same thing in 2011, setting a 10 year timetable;. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-13958422

She has ruined so many lives, but I bet she doesn't get anywhere near enough jail time.

I am reading the RUSI assessment of the first 5 months of the conflict. Apart from Russia's planning for an anticipated 10 day operation not allowing for any delays or setbacks, Russian intelligence failed in other areas. ( As did Ukraine's). One interesting paragraph on how the Ukrainians responded to strikes on their airfields : "The poor Russian battle damage assessment process made the Russian military highly vulnerable to deception, which has been consistent throughout the conflict. Early strikes on Ukrainian airfields, for example, destroyed many hangars. By photographing this damage and printing the resulting pattern on to sheets, it became possible to clear the rubble and erect covers for aircraft to return to the site, sheltering in positions that the Russians would confirm as destroyed. This led – somewhat amusingly – to the Russians debating whether Ukrainian fighter aircraft were operating from subterranean shelters at several sites". As a consequence: "( Russian ) Aircraft did not fly with EW pods during the opening phase as they were not deemed necessary following the presumed success of the strike campaign. Similarly, Russian manoeuvre Forces were not properly supported by air-defence units and Russian air-defence units were told to presume that aircraft were friendly. This enabled a significant number of ground-attack sorties by the Ukrainian Air Force, including using UAVs such as TB2, against Russian formations, even when they had attached air-defence units"

Just watched a video of a Russian POW being interviewed. He claims he was captured by French mercenaries - he knew they were French because they were speaking English (!). When asked if he had been carrying a gun he said yes, when asked why he said "for self defence". When asked why he had to act in self defence he told the interviewer " because the Ukrainians were firing at me". ( To use a common quote from a Ukrainian source "We are lucky they are so fucking stupid ". )

Wholesale price of unleaded is a few pence over £1, diesel at just over £1.20. Should we not be supporting Ukraine ? ( Stupid question really, we all know your position ).

£1.67 at Morrisons in Cleveleys, but not much use to most on here.

Surprised it didn't leave him dead.

They'll just erect a screen round the site and pour concrete over it. Just like the theatre in Mariupol.

Of course it won't be a SUPER busy window, but it might be a mediocre busy one.

One official Russian spokesman said they successfully intercepted the missiles !

Possibly over 700 Russian conscripts killed when the school building they were billeted in was struck by Ukrainian HIMARS rockets. Didn't help that the same building held a large ammunition store and vehicle park.

In Alexander McCall Smith's books, women in Botswana are not overweight, they are "traditionally built".

"Obviously nobody wants to be involved in a relegation fight"........and Leeds are 2 points above the relegation places.

I think I have been moved to a parallel universe. However, in effect a person born female ( with a fully functioning gender specific reproductive system ), has carried to term a baby, born from an egg fertilised by sperm from a person born male, ( similarly with the gender specific reproductive organs ).

Thing is with our attack, if Forest score 1 they probably won't lose.

They could try harder to be convincing about Vlad meeting his people.. The first image is from Putler's New Year message......

That one was shot down shortly after it first came out. There was nothing we did in the vaccine development and roll-out that we could not have done if still in the EU.

Broken clock ? Or you throw enough shit out there and sooner or later you'll chance upon something with a grain of truth, purely by random chance. And reading your quoted text, that performance is based on companies making money outside the UK, and those benefitting directly or indirectly from Russia's invasion of Ukraine - energy and defence.

As opposed to LGBTQ+ ones ?

Who wou;d have settled at the start of the season to be going into match 17 just 2 points behind West Ham ?

Add in the daylight raids of the USAAF, and we still failed to force them to quit in 3 years of pretty much constant attacks. Civilian populations have proved to be amazingly resilient under such stress.

We've gone more old school and are watching "Witness For The Prosecution".

Seeing as "E-Sports" is now being pushed by the International Olympic Committee perhaps in future you will be able to get into Oxford by being good at FIFA.
