Rishi Sunak 'has won big concessions from the EUSSR

Of course the number of grammar school places were restricted by numbers but many grammar and other schools increased their capacity by erecting annexes using well built timber structures. Often schools were unable to expand because the greedy county councils were selling off playing fields for housing developments, thereby reducing the amount of land available to schools. At roughly the same time local schools were closing and kids, rather than walk to school, became the school run, either by car or by coach, in other words the education system was being unnecesarily destroyed on the altar of politics under successive governments but initiated by the Wilson Labour government of the sixties.

Passing a particular exam on a particular day is no different to a horse race on a particular day or an Olymic event, exams are the opportunity and necessarily to recall what you have been taught; how lucky that the 11-plus replaced the Scholarship exam, an equivalent of the French Baccalaureate.

It's sad that you haven't recognised the decline in education standards since the mid-sixties and that no government has seriously improved the standard, we're still producing far to many duffers.

And the rest? The late developers, the dyslexic. 

I suffer from dyslexia and it has never held me back and I passed the 11 plus and went on to do a masters in phisycs after winning an ivy league scholarship.

And I learned brain surgery at evening classes. 
When did you emigrate to the states? 

1. No one even suggested otherwise, but it is clear that the 11+ was a hit and miss opportunity for youngsters as the system was designed to pass a limited number of individuals through which meant that many capable youngsters never got the opportunity.

Assuming for a moment you are as educated as you say, how the f**k do you get so much so wrong. 

WHY did you claim 9 million EV batteries have been dumped when that's clearly a lie. Surely as someone educated in the subject you can do better than that? 

The lie is that you claimed 12 million tons of EV batteries have been dumped. That is not true. What made it a lie instead of a mistake is that when I pointed it out you made no attempt to correct it. 
There is NO evidence out there that 12 million tons of EV batteries have been dumped because it hasn't happened. 

I do not presume I am more intelligent than anyone, but I do take what people say at face value and speak as I find. 

For instance when Pacifico states the national grid are going to drain your car battery overnight that is clearly either stupid or a lie, which would you like me to treat it as?
