Re: Cancer and red and processed meat
I do struggle with health warnings/scares.
Is there anything that doesn't cause cancer, if eaten in sufficient quantities?

Obviously these courts are a worry but the government needs to be careful that they don't drive them further underground.

Re: GAME ON!
The use of the HoL isn't right; but neither is bringing in poor bashing policies that were not mentioned in the manifesto and denied by Cameron before the election.
The nasty party have a clear majority but are now just proving why they cannot be trusted.

Good morning! Not much to report really.. It was a very brief meeting and his teacher was really quite meek and mild - I broached the subject and she gave me the expected "it's really nothing to worry about" brush off so I had to persist a bit, explained that although I understand it's a faith scho...

I haven't written to my MP, and it's not something I would ever have considered - Are they likely to respond ? I am always writing to my MP; they will reply. The answer you get may not be the answer you want but you are bringing the issue to their attention and you probably won't be the only one. A...

Hi Chuff.
I don't envy you, it sounds dreadful.
Do you mind me asking which Academy Group is running the school?
Also, have you written to your MP?

Re: The future of education (if any)
What do you mean when you say that state schools are not allowed to coach their kids? They are not allowed to practice 'past papers' i.e. get into the routine of doing the exams. Many of the questions are IQ Test type questions, e.g. "Dog is to puppy, cat is to ....". They cannot practice those typ...
