Been around the block, retired from education, sort of, not retired from life. Now got time for watercolour painting, riding my bike, and playing blues, though not all at the same time. Been glory hunting with Liverpool since Shankly’s days

Not posting anything except this today.
I will be with fellow survivors later today remembering the 97 who died, the hundreds injured and the many survivors who still suffer.
If you are affected by the events of 15/4/89 and need someone to talk to @hillsboroughsu1.bsky.social are there for you.

“Negativity”?..
Does he mean constructive criticism?
That tells me everything I need to know, when any critique of the process is deemed negativity.
OfSTED still unfit for purpose

How about another limit on bankers bonuses as well.
They caused the crash and walked away without a consequence. Iceland jailed their bankers and let the banks fail.
Iceland didn’t disappear

People whining about why it’s taken so long.
If Labour had campaigned on reversing Brexit, do these people not realise that the billionaire owned media would have slaughtered them.
Unfortunately leavers have had to feel the effect of their own stupidity before any change can be attempted.

Williamson was AWOL during Covid.
His lack of leadership was astounding.
He should have been calling up HTs or visiting schools (within protocols) every day and asking what he could do to help them. Instead it appears he was whining about being upstaged by the useless Johnson. Awful man

Absolutely epic thread. He was a former head teacher of the secondary school I went to. Just an old picture on a wall with the other former heads. No post-nominals. No fuss made. I expect now all this is known the school would make a bigger deal of him. It's the kind of school that would.

It’s the 111th anniversary today of the birth of Harry Rée, who was a teacher and conscientious objector when the Second World War broke out, and by the time it ended, when he was 31, had invented ‘blackmail sabotage’ and got a DSO, an OBE, a Croix de Guerre, and a Medaille de la Resistance

b/w photo of a man in socks and sandals, jacket, short and jumper, in front of a wall with a bike leaning on it, and with a pipe in his mouth. If you wanted one image to sum up the word ‘nonchalant’, this would be it

Williamson was AWOL.
A good leader would have visited schools - even if he stood in the road outsid, and spoke to HTs and staff about what he could do for them.
Instead he was elsewhere. A dreadful choice of
Education Secretary

Saw the front page of the latest from this rag.
“Jenrick was right“ says Rod Liddle.
Racist speech getting the approval of someone who beat up his pregnant girlfriend, shows what sort of trash this rag is.

The striped building centre, was an arcade of offices. I was once taken through the fire door into the first floor from the building next door. It was like a time warp to the 1940\50s
Now been gutted for retail I think

Lairds were of course building “Rams” for the Rebel Navy, most of which never reached them.
Feller called Henry Bulloch was the guy who was tasked with getting them built and shipped out.
