As part of the National Curriculum, Key Stage 2 pupils (7-11 year olds) are expected to swim 25 metres unaided along with other things. This is unfair to those pupils that can’t swim due to developmental disorders such as dyspraxia and those with severe asthma.
The time and money spent on swimming lessons could be better spent on school equipment such as books and computers
So those kids get notes from their parents or doctors excusing them from participating in swimming lessons. Easy peasy. Why penalise every child in the school system?
The goverment is there to govern.a democracy relies on the goverment to govern fairly.It is unfair that possibly 5 million people smoke cannabis regularly and their views are not heard.smaller minorities havedone better.its time for the country to vote.As a democracy.long live the queen.
“Possibly” five million people? Where’s he pulling this figure from? Because I imagine it’s somewhere very dark and, occasionally, sticky. Bonus categorisation of “We’re British, Dammit!” for the rather gratuitous inclusion of “love live the queen” at the end of the petition, as if mentioning her will somehow sway the Government into agreeing with this petition.
Stop giving overseas aid and stop paying into the EU, whilst there is an emergency on. The EU only takes never gives back and we cannot afford to give to third world countries. I was giving to Africa when I was in school over 50 years ago they should be able to help themselves now
Yeah! Fuck you, Africa! You’re just being lazy!
Great Britain is in a unique position to stimulate the economy of our country at the stroke of a pen. As we are not into the euro,we can quite easily restore the true value of the good old British Pound to 240 old pence.This would be a step forward rather than back and would help every body,especially those in dire financial straits.We should cap all prices at their present level and impose strict price control.It would encourage a lot more companies to become more competitive.Those who can remember the switch over from 240 old pence to 100 new pence will have bitter memories how we were tricked into a devaluation of a massive 140% overnight and the unscrupulous traders who went laughing all the way to their banks.Thank you.
I don’t quite think DJ Reynolds is very good at Economics or laying down phat beats.
In this nation the Police are supposed to uphold the Law of the Land and stand as an example to all it’s citizens. The recent release of information showing that at least 1000 officers currently serving in police forces throughout England, Scotland and Wales have criminal records for, amongst others, Fraud, Perverting the Course of Justice, Drink Driving, Kerb Crawling and Assault, makes it clear that the officers we trust to police our streets are morally unfit for this duty.
How can a Police Officer, guilty of a dishonesty offence, be trusted to behave in a lawful and just manner? Any conviction on the record of Police Officer should result in immediate dismissal. After all if the Police can’t be trusted to abide by the law, why should we?
A criminal conviction can be anything, from public drunkenness to running a red light. You’re just being stupid.
In all seriousness: I remember having to debate in High School GCSE English. We had that annoying hypothetical scenario – a ship is sinking, there’s one lifeboat and it can only support six people, but you have to pick them from a list of twelve. One of the characters was an ex-convict who’d served time in prison and gone straight. Everybody else in my group was convinced that he should stay on the ship and die because he had a criminal past. I was the only person who suggested that he should be allowed a second chance, that he’d gone straight. It really pissed me off that everybody took one look at at his past and judged his entire character from there. Granted the guy wasn’t real, but all the same it’s an incredibly narrow-minded way of looking at the world.
