[STEMO]

The education secretary, Private Pike, told parents, if they weren't happy with the online provision being provided by their school, they should email OFSTED to complain. Some parents took a very dim view of this move from a very dim person, and started emailing OFSTED to tell them what a great job their school was doing. Thousands of them, enough to clog up OFSTED's inbox, emailed, the result being that OFSTED removed its email address from it's website. But to no avail. Parents just posted up the address on Twitter for others to make their views known. Oh dear, Pike.

You're wasted as a builder.


You should be a government minister**

I've looked.

CRT
White privilege.

Just so the next generation of white nippers know how lucky they are and how racist they are........and just to show black nippers how oppressed they are  by white people. Those with a 'victim mentality' will love this.

Apparently this is all in the cause of bringing people together.

Utter insanity.

You're wasted as a shopper for the oldies in the family

I did know about the capital "I" when referring to me ,but that involves using both hands to type 
I was born and lived in England all my life but still learning "the English"
I'm too honest to be a government minister sadly 
 "I"  hear it pays well

I know it can be a norff sarf fing but .... when you have an education minister that says 'f' instead of 'th'
It's not that he can't say 'th' .... he does on some words, but says 've' rather than 'the' .... hardly the example I'd expect of an education minister

[dave the builder]

Oh **** , it's the grammar police ,I best cheque me spelin  

yes

That all sounds normal to me, as a native estuary English speaker. But Williamson is a Yorkshire man, born bred and educated.

He was educated ? !

Why do actors in Eastenders always say 'fings..... free.... nuffing' rather than  'things.....three.....and nothing'?

It's a Lundun thing, accentuated for implied authenticity

Why do actors in Eastenders always say 'fings..... free.... nuffing' rather than  'things.....three.....and nothing'?

It's just an accent. As I said, it sounds normal to me whereas Brummies sound suicidally depressed, and Scouse makes the speaker sound idiotic. My sister's boyfriend is from near Glasgow, and if I can't see him I can't understand a word he's saying.

I'm pretty sure 'posh London types'  don't say 'fings'

Speaking of regional accents, apparently the scouse accent is 'the least trusted accent' in the UK....with the Devon accent being the most friendly.

.......and I thought everyone trusted scousers.

which is my point ....

Posh London types tend not to have been born there.

yes, I was agreeing with you; he's pretending to be something he isn't
