Two little tales of a broken Britain ..... firstly we now have schools where teachers are 'interviewed' by the pupils as a part of a 'student Voice' policy, to decide if they can work at the school. Teachers unions have alleged that the pupils have had teachers 'sing their favourite songs' as part of the interviews, as well as ask personal questions, and that some teachers have been refused because of their looks or policy on detentions.
In one case, a teacher allegedly failed to get a job after being labelled "Humpty Dumpty" by a pupil allowed to sit on his interview panel. As usual with this PC driven nonsense little or no account of human nature is taken into account when the policy is rammed down our throats by unelected zealots.
In the days before a state education it wasn't uncommon for teachers to be beaten by their students, such was the comparative lack of worth of teachers .... where are we heading when teacher appointments, promotions, and pay rises become a 'talent contest' system decided by student votes? In case you think my mentioning of students beating teachers was a bit over the top well, take a look at these stories from around the world.
And secondly, a 17-year-old boy was repeatedly hit with a metal bar and a chair leg before being stripped naked in an attack in Greater Manchester. Police said the teenager was the victim of a "cruel and vicious" assault on the Abraham Moss playing fields where he was was hit several times and knocked unconscious, before waking up naked. The teen gang had robbed him of just £11 ($18), the violence appears to have been just for 'fun'.
We are slowly losing our society to the teens, and its frightening prospect.

The risk of mindless yobbish violence is now just an every day fact of lfe in the UK.
ReplyDeleteI read somewhere last week that a blog commentator was forced to apologise because he asserted that most street violence in London (and some other cities) was carried about by the boyz of one particular post war immigrant ethnic group .... the fact that he was right doesn't mean he wasn't forced to back down.
Nowadays its crimminal to tell the truth .... we live in an Orwellian age of 'newspeak' where black is white and white is brown ...
My views on the evil of 'PC speak' are well known.
