Ex Head of Bryn Hafren & Pencoedtre High Schools
@ExHeadBHandPHS
Staff in the school where I was a headteacher did not congregate in the staff room with alcohol. Instead they went home exhausted, washed their clothes and experienced two emotions, a sense of duty and worry in case they had brought Covid home with them. How dare you!

"I don't think at any time he thought he was breaking the law... he thought just like many teachers and nurses who after a very long shift would go back to the staff room and have a quiet drink" Tory MP Michael Fabricant urges Boris Johnson to apologise bbc.in/364xut5

Times when experiences and ideas are MORE likely to be heard, included, and responded to include: when they confirm the views of the team leaders; when they make a research project or service look good; when emotive experience are expressed in professionalised language 7/

Times when experiences and ideas get written off include: when they’re expressed too bluntly; when they’re not phrased in the terms used by other professionals; when they’re perceived as a personal attack; when they contradict the ideas being discussed, or prevailing norms 6/

Like Pravda asking Stalin if he is going to do anything to improve conditions in the gulag. You've spent years propagandising for a party whose mantra is to punish those hardest hit for the mistakes made by those doing the hitting! Then you feign surprise at more violence?

We now have a Henry Ford democracy in this country: We can vote for any form of political party we want, as long as it's a neo-liberal one who doesn't want to redistribute power and wealth!

Indeed, whose interests does the research serve? How often are local people ultimately co-opted into taking part in research which presents an outside organisation or institution as the 'expert' which needs to be parachuted in ?

"You may take our lives, but you'll never take our suburban privet hedges" Awe-inspiring stuff🔥🔥🔥. It's enough to make me want to move to the home counties, buy some tweed and blind myself to injustice. #Dowden #CPSC22

It's been 6 long years - and I can't believe I can FINALLY share this photo. Nazanin is now in the air flying away from 6 years of hell in Iran. My heart goes out to Gabriella and Richard, as her long journey back home to them gets closer by the minute. #NazaninIsFree ❤️

3/8 My comrades won’t either, and today I announced that the Anti-Corruption Foundation will not only not die, but will enter a new global level of operations, becoming an international organisation, while keeping its focus on investigations against the Kremlin thieves.

I'd have never had Jess pegged as someone who'd look across to the pain and suffering in Ukraine and use it as an opportunity for yet another 'A little bit more about me' tweet 🤷‍♂️

Lovely to see so many willing to take in refugees. As someone who is expert in working with vulnerable women and children that I can gladly help coordinate some guidance on these matters. Started my career setting up mother & baby sessions for women from Sierra Leone and Congo.

Who is protecting Priti Patel from facing the consequences of her bullying then Nigel? I'm curious about whether that is the same establishment you claim is so anti Brexit?

John Bercow was protected for years by a political establishment that wanted to stop Brexit. It tells you everything you need to know about Westminster. ➡️ youtu.be/SKNimmXoCXM

We're gonna need some better anti-ageing products before the our current left-leaning crop of comedians such as yourself, James Felton and James Acaster reach your 70s and 80s!

As someone so influenced by Monty Python growing up it's sad to see a couple of them literally become the sort of characters they'd have lampooned a few decades ago.

This 👇 has got to be a spoof hasn’t it? Please tell me Bolton hasn’t engaged with citizens & come up with a carbon copy of the ‘citizen led’ Wigan Deal? Can any Bolton folk clarify?

Bolton NICE charity food bank volunteers paying Bolton council to rent a small industry unit. To give away food for FREE to families sent from Bolton council for help and support. £1,000 a month with utilities. No a good deal for the unpaid CHARITY volunteers.
