That is part of my point. The secondary schools are less open than Primary schools. There should be a regular dialogue between school and parent and any lack of communication by the parents flagged up.

Once a child enters Secondary they should not be viewed as anything less than a child albeit an older child, but still a child.

I'm sorry to hear that he's a friend of daughter.


I remember when I was young the lads who were most polite to my parents and parents of friends were often the ones who were most likely to get up to the worst activities, bullying stealing or worst.

Is it possible your daughter?s friend is one of these lads?


If he was just an innocent bystander then it is awful that he has been stabbed, but I find it very hard to believe someone would be attacked if they were just minding their own business.





It will be interesting to find out what sparked the argument and the subsequent stabbing.


How is it that these men are still walking our streets carrying knives?

I don't agree. Groups/gangs of kids can hassle and insult other kids who are just minding their own business - it happens all the time. Sometimes teenage boys can't help themselves, and react rather than walking away... and it escalates from there.

That's what I meant by try telling that to Ben Kinsella's parents. But you said it better Jeremy.

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets!
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
