General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

No faith schools should exist.

It's ludicrous that selecting based on academic ability is considered abhorrent these days, but selecting based on what fairy your parents believe in is still perfectly normal.

The problem is, there is a demand for them. The parents are choosing to send their kids to these schools knowing what they are.

Personally I would ban all private schools and ensure ALL children went to public school, this would ensure that the kids had a good rounded education, as well as ensure funding was adequate as the rich kids would go there too.

Then close it. Make the parents end their children to other schools.

Lol bit why geography? Don't they need to know where to send missionaries?

Age of Earth will be my guess.

They won't want their kids exposed to all that scientific consensus showing it's about 4 billion years old.
