    Whiteboards, John. That and touchscreens. Got to admit I didn’t read it, but I will if you point me at the one you mean. Do you mean this one (the most recent I could find a reference to)? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-32608772

    “I deliberately kept it neutral”..

    “..suspicions held by the public and others, in connection with the interference by left wing educationalists in various syllabi”

    Very neutral. Or did you stop unquestioningly parroting the Telegraph between those quotes?

    I think that – not for the first time – you’re seeing what you want to see rather than what is actually there ! At no point did I or, Allison Pearson or, the OECD mention a political leaning either to the ‘left’ or ‘right’.

    John, unless you were meaning a leaning to the front or the back, what did the term ‘politically inspired educational theorists’ refer to, then?

    Ah, I see. It’s that kind of insight I come here for. 😉

    The display I saw was not under airshow / display rules (flying at and then very low over the crowd, for example) and that prompted a train of thought about how organisers might in future choose to involve aircraft at events. I’m sure others have spotted what I was getting at. Interestingly, if it’s not an air display (airshow?) you can provide more spectacle for less money than if it is one.

    I should have maybe said air display initially and not air show, to avoid the snipers! ..after all, a car show might attract a number of displaying aircraft, and the above might then apply?

    Once again I’m interested in how child-centring, whether right or wrong, is politically-inspired. As per my earlier thread starter, what has child-led learning to do with the means of production (or the price of fish)?

    As an observation, the standard of literacy on this forum seems evenly distributed across all shades of political thought. Surely if the psychobabblers had a political agenda in applying theories under which children’s education suffered the young indoctrinated lefties wat rite would not never us propa grama or spelin

    If the intelligence that JC and wassername are getting is accurate then all we need to do is ask the Russians where they are.

    Maybe I should have said De – moggy – raphic.

    Only works if the asset remains publicly owned as it inflates in value.. :). Back to GD, methinks?

    Um.. it wasn’t meant in a good way! She explained her statement on Radio 4 this morning by saying that as subs increasingly cannot ‘hide’, their utility as strategic weapon systems is decreasing.. so that soon they will be as ‘archaic’ as the Spitfire, in terms of their usefulness to the UK’s defence. Poor analogy, not really thought through. She was taken apart on a point of logic. She wouldn’t last five minutes on this forum!

    No idea if that’s how JC understands the situation, but they will be in receipt of the same briefings.
