When I was a young teacher – a long time ago now – I was lucky enough to learn from older, more experienced colleagues. As a rookie teacher, with almost no classroom management skills myself, I remember my sense of awe at the shrewd tactics of those veteran practitioners. One of these wise mentors once […]

School Toilet Bullies For Women Scotland.
By Josie Hervey According to “For Women” Scotland, schools “face a Sandie Peggie-style legal dispute” over single-sex spaces. If you wanted proof of their bad faith, look no further. Our children – all of them – need to be safe in schools. Pretending that only people assumed to have a penis can be guilty of […]
Section 2A: The Legacy
‘The head will be too afraid to back us because of Section 28’. ‘But that was repealed over a decade ago.’ ‘Aye, but…’ This was the first time Section 28/2A had been raised at my work and it was in conversation sparked by a parental complaint about one of my colleagues using the work of […]
Forward to Independence (and November 23rd!)…
DOON wi CORRUPT RULING CLASS DICTATORSHIP !!! By Dave Coull When some of us first heard aboot the idea of a non-party-political referendum on Scottish independence, we liked the sound of this; thinking, because of not being party-political, it could get a FAR higher turnout than any petty election of politicians ever could get. Working […]
Built to last? Dave Coull doesn’t think so…
“It’s nice, isn’t it? The quiet.” These words, written by a Starmer fan in mid-July, sound delusional now. But as Owen Jones says, they were what Starmer himself and his colleagues expected. “The Starmerite theory of power went like this: Britain’s problems were largely explained by a lack of leadership qualities at the top. Sir […]
The Dave Coull Column: Elon Musk- Con-man.
Elon Musk is possibly THE richest billionaire on Earth, certainly one of the richest. This isn’t an “achievement” to be proud of, he’s just some parasite who happened to be born filthy rich, who never “invented” anything, but who managed to con other folk out of THEIR big ideas. Musk was born to an extremely […]
It’s Time to Play the Music… ELECTION DAY!
By Willie Miller’s Moustache Regardless of who you vote for on Thursday, might I just take a moment to congratulate and commend you for doing so. Anyone who has been maintaining an even superficial interest in BritPol over the last few weeks and chosen not to emigrate, self-immolate, join or start some obscure and isolationist […]
Prick Knobinson Ungagged! “Do Something You’ve Never Done Before…”
Prick on the LibDems… Prick’s recording of this piece HERE “Look. Don’t get me wrong. I’ve had manys a wheeze in my life. There was that time I snorted copious amounts of snow, drank three bottles of Volare Banana Liqueur, two litres of Don Julio 1942, a large glass of benzodiazepine (or two) and had […]
Quantum Scotpol 2.0
By Willie Miller’s Moustache (@williemillersM1 on Twitter/X) Quietly and with little fanfare or recognition there has been a significant breakthrough in political physics. While in classical binary systems there are 2 states: ON/OFF or POSITIVE/NEGATIVE Quantum Computers compute using these two classical positions and the additional state of ON&OFF at the same time. Never tell […]
The Candidate
by Prick Knobinson Scandals nowadays are boring. I mean, in the good old days, Labour Party scandals were all about receiving brown envelopes. Tories were also using brown envelopes, but pushing them in the other direction in order to cover up some perversion with a Soviet spy or some Lord Fondleboy in a punt. I’ve […]
