Tom Hunt is sounding incredibly dangerous 09:45 - Apr 3 with 14914 views | Mullet | The latest findings from one teaching union found the following https://www.nasuwt.org.uk/article-listing/covid-impacts-on-teacher-mental-health No other profession had the constant scrutiny and scapegoating from the government and its media chums did it? But the anonymous survey reveals grim reading at a time when people are trying to support each other still. Then Hunt goes on to tweet some of the most tone deaf and sinister rhetoric aiming this at people. You couldn’t get hawking the latest populist gimmick more wrong if you tried. |  |

I think he may have just misread it tbh. But yes, as in all thumbs are digits but not all digits are thumbs. |  |

Tom Hunt is sounding incredibly dangerous on 18:52 - Apr 3 with 759 views | wkj | The distressing thing is - Politicians are the ones abusing the flag the most. It has become cheap political point getter - much like it felt in America. The fact you can have a large Union Flag in your PR shots and have it instantly solidify voters is not just some myth. National flags are completely meaningless if society is so damaged that the flag merely serves as paper over the cracks. I am a strong supporter of respecting the flag based on my family's long military tradition - but that is on the basis of what I was taught - the flag should not be a symbol of a country, but a symbol of the peace, strength and togetherness of a country.

Mark Francois got similarly confused when Will Self made the same point. He got all red-faced and angry. |  |

Tom Hunt is sounding incredibly dangerous on 18:46 - Apr 3 by jeera | Well hold on a mo. Read it back. Is it not a reasonable assumption that xenophobic, (and yes racist), types will have voted for Brexit? Certainly everyone I know of who are that way leaning did. That's not to be confused with the other way around of course. |
28% of the Electorate didn't vote (13m) and another 17m roughly were not eligible to vote. So I guess none of them are/were racists either as well as all those that voted remain. Hey I'm giving up, it's well past wine o'clock |  | |  |

Tom Hunt is sounding incredibly dangerous on 16:03 - Apr 3 by Clapham_Junction | "So let's talk about immigration, it is the elephant in the room and no one dares talk about it" I don't understand why people claim this so regularly. It's been endlessly talked about for the last 10-15 years and was even a campaign issue in the 2005 general election when the country was generally quite a harmonious place: https://www.ft.com/content/0b521e42-b336-11d9-ad2b-00000e2511c8 |
yes that was always farages retort, no one dares to talk about it.as if the u.k under e.u. rules couldn't stop it. it always made me laugh when the brexit leaders always use to say it will be a slap in the face for the elite, when brexit is voted for. as if johnstone,rees mogg, gove ,farage etc were the face of the working class.the fat cats wanted brexit so they could do away workers rights and keep their tax low. |  |

The phrase is almost certainly true, but is not clever and makes no point. What if Will Self had a more intelligent opponent who would have retorted with a comparison of say all rapists are men but not all men are rapists? Or someone had retorted all convicted in Rotherham were.... you see where i'm going with this - becomes quite offensive to those in the second group to be stereotyped as those in the first group. |  |

Tom Hunt is sounding incredibly dangerous on 17:52 - Apr 3 by 26_Paz | He’s right. Schools should fly the flag and they should do it with pride. |
He's wrong. This kind of lazy "patriotism" has no place in an educational establishment. There is much to be proud of in this country's history and much to be ashamed of. For me the true patriot is the person who strives to make their country the best for all of its citizens. If schools, colleges and universities have a patriotic duty it is to teach British history "warts and all" and to teach the pupils some basis for critical analysis. For too many others, to slightly mis-quote G B Shaw, "Patriotism is their conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because they were born in it." You know, Cecil Rhodes' view that "... you are an Englishman, and have consequently won first prize in the lottery of life." But there I go again, quoting people who you have undoubtedly read more widely than I. |  |

Tom Hunt is sounding incredibly dangerous on 16:33 - Apr 3 by Mullet | But I acknowledged that and you’ve answered something entirely different for some reason? |
I am suggesting that the extent to which the EU protected workers' rights is minimal in reality and that if any government carries on the policy of wage suppression through the availability of cheap Commonwealth labour then they too will receive short shrift. |  |

I sent him a PM last week asking why he doesn't engage but instead insists on stalking people in this weird way. No response. I get tired of that crap on here. It's an insult to the site frankly, that some moron thinks it's an acceptable way to approach the forum and its members. |  |

Who funds them if not the tax payer? |  |

Tom Hunt is sounding incredibly dangerous on 09:58 - Apr 3 by SomethingBlue | Can only hope the penny is dropping around Ipswich. There's a pandemic on and he doesn't hide the fact he's more interested in culture wars nobody asked for than serving his constituents. It's shocking. |
My dad is a Labour councilor and has said the general feedback has been 'I can't see what more they could have done' 'Imagine how Corbyn would have done' 'I think they've done alright' I'd like to think the public would have seen through the Tories shambolic performance over the last year but it sounds like we truly have no hope! |  |
