Skiving English Language classes then ? Nope look at ita and the effects of it on young people in the 70s have explained before though itaTeachers in (the then) junior schools (KS2) found themselves confronted with children writing what seemed to them like gobbledegook. The next problem with i.t.a. was that it presented the spellings for the sounds of someone with a Received Pronunciation (RP) accent, which is not the accent of many speakers of English. i.t.a: a great idea but a dismal failure - The Literacy Blog Had an ex who went through the same system, it was a ridiculous idea, the letters I got off her when I was at sea were sometimes more challenging than the Telegraph crossword

My sympathies for that. What accounts for your general stupidity though? Funny how lots of the responses to that blog are from people who were taught by ITA but although they don't like it, now seem to be able to string sentences together. This means that Essex is either: a) Lazy or b) Stupid
or quite possibly both.

A video clip has emerged of Essex’s schools days… Or is that Huddy?

Interest rate raised to 1% by Bank of England despite issuing warning of recession There's an interesting case study in modern times with Turkey who have largely refused to increase interest rates, their inflation is running at 70%. Unbelievably Turkey still think the answer is to cut rates, which is definitely against common wisdom. I guess we'll find out whether this is the right approach with time but there is a strong case that they've put themselves in this position because they've not increased interest rates. Changing the economy is like changing direction on a tanker and while the government overcooked the housing market I think the BoE were slow to respond but we'll only really know in a few year's time if that's right. www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/5/5/turkeys-inflation-rate-soars-to-almost-70-percent-in-april

'Use you had better in formal writing -- in the rare cases it might occur in formal writing. Use you'd better in ordinary conversation with anybody. Use you better (or you'd better) in very casual conversation with someone you know very well -- a good friend, for example -- someone who also speaks that way. They all mean exactly the same thing' Not that I know you well but I certainly don't consider a football MB to be formal. www.englishforums.com/English/HadBetter/zxgjc/post.htm

It's so frustrating that neither of them are able to explain why they think it's ok to drink while they work and if they're not working then the rules say they shouldn't have been doing it. It's enraging that the narrative is focussed on rules and not that people paid by the public purse can only work long hours if they're half cut.

Because nobody resigns anymore, do they? That's kind of the whole point about having standards. Once you've set a precedent of ignoring those, any politician can do whatever they like, and we should all find that alarming regardless of who it is...Broken the ministerial code? Doesn't matter, not going anywhere. Broken the law? Doesn't matter, not going anywhere. Lost the election? Doesn't matter, not going anywhere. That last one sounds unlikely in such a free and fair democratic country like ours, doesn't it? But this is precisely where such behaviour eventually ends up. People eventually denying the legitimacy or usual consequences of anything that they don't agree with. Trump has tried that already. Failed ultimately, but he gave it a good go and he'll be back. Next time someone tries it, it might be managed a bit more convincingly, so that elections genuinely aren't free and fair (unless they've produced the outcome you were after). And ultimately the upshot of failing to uphold standards in office are elections like we see in Hungary, Belarus, Russia etc dubious and untrustworthy at best, and a further erosion in any semblance of genuine democracy.

Its more enraging the amount of police time and money spent on all of this, both parties should get fined for wasting police team and have to pay the cost of these investigations. As for drinking some workplaces allow a drink with a meal others dont, although to be fair I have seen no suggestion that either were half cut, that was all the civil servants and spads.

I hesitate though to accuse wee Nippy of any association with a hauf an a hauf. Maybe, the Lard of the Isles though.

No, but don't let a bottle of beer after electioneering persuade you that it's not the same as a dozen boozy parties (and fights!) in Downing St. They're all the same, you see Apparently Downing St is the second most fined place in the country in terms of Covid related fines, after student residences.

Is there any evidence that either of them were "half cut"? I withdraw "half cut" although I'm making a point that people in public office should not be drinking on the job. There is a picture with Starmer drinking and the rumours are that Sue Gray has been given many pictures with Johnson doing the same. It's wrong. I understand that I'm in an almost non existent minority but you should not drink at work. If it's deemed not to be safe driving a car then you shouldn't be making decisions that impact the lives of the public. If they're not working then it's a party. The reason that politics is an absolute state and people say they're all the same is because of things like this.

The reason that politics is an absolute state and people say they're all the same is because of things like this. You make a very good, wider point. 8 subsidised bars and restaurants in the Commons and surrounding buildings is a joke and breeds a culture of work place drinking. It's 2022, if they want a drink they can find an overpriced bar after work like the rest of us. And it all ties in with the culture of misogyny and sexual harassment that's present I have no doubt about that.......
