I'd imagine it's a relativley small amount of money.
Billions have been poured into supporting disadvantaged children overall (the vast majority are white British) but sadly it's had a negligable impact on standards. |

They do have the same financial restraints but the gap still exists. |

How would that policy significantly effect academic attainment?
I use the word significantly as that describes the gap. |

As I said, I don’t agree with the policy.
However, if you want the best it makes sense to ask why higher performing groups aren’t entering the profession. |

Definitely.
The success of second generation immigrants is incredible.
What nobody has worked out fully yet is that this is peculiar to the uk. It’s not the same pattern across Europe. |

How are they disadvantaged?
Not children blaming - poorly written by me. I meant to allude to families.
It’s not just a wales thing, it’s mirrored across the UK.
Edit: fat fingers made my original post gibberish.
The last paragraph meant to show that the % of ethnic minorities becoming teachers is far lower that % of ethnic minorities becoming teachings. I’m not trying to score points, I just think it’s interesting and worth a look when recruitment is an issue overall. [Post edited 6 Oct 20:21]

That’s outcomes.
They’re not disadvantaged by the system, they’re disadvantaged because they don’t value education like many ethnic minorities.
Nit defending the policy at all, but it is imo of interest that in Wales there’s the % of people from ethnic minorities and the % that become teachers. |

It’s still the ‘how’ though, isn’t it?
As you say, it can only really be pushed by a secular society. The US are so different to us in this respect with using Conservative Christianity to push things through - we don’t have that over there (thankfully). |

And you’d be right to.
I don’t think any of the major parties think the triple lock (which was needed at the time) is sustainable.
Labour coming out and planning a change to the double lock has forced Torys and Reform to commit the other way. |

Firstly they weren’t on the list. (Hence my pointing out that none of the cases mentioned were on the list).
Secondly, three of the four were British born with the fourth born in Jamaica as a child and was a British citizen.
Thirdly, I didn’t mention any political parties.
I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make. [Post edited 3 Oct 18:17]

I’m sure they will have.
So far we’ve had too big a pension, chauffeur driven cars and private flights.
Yet we want our brightest and best to be MPs |

That 15% figure is important.
The others I’m not as bothered about. We can continue to legislate the criminalisation of burning the Koran and banning images of Mohammed.
Sharia Law doesn’t trump UK law and that needs to stay. (I think it’s worth noting that both Jewish and evangelical Christians have the same type of community courts)
So the question remains, what do we do about the 600k if we don’t want to impinge on the freedoms of the other 3.4 million?
I’m sure with the public facing job you have (like me) have had interactions with Muslims who are diamonds and bring a lot to the country. [Post edited 3 Oct 18:17]

I don’t disagree but what’s the answer?
It’s the radical, extreme element that’s the problem, not the majority.
What I wouldn’t want to see is a swing to Christian Nationalism as is happening in the States. |

I think it’s difficult to find an exact example of two tier policing - a person with the same background committing the same crime with a different outcome.
My suspicion is that there is a nervousness around being called racist in the police which is problematic and needs addressing. If there’s an example of, say, a Palestinian Action member and a Patriotic Platform member treated different differently I’ll absolutely call it out.
However, this is not helped by people making claims that don’t aide the case.
Saying the early realise of the Novak scumbag and the Danny Tommo remanding in custody as an example of two tier policing seems not only daft to me but counter productive.
Firstly they are not the same thing and doesn’t help identifying two tier policing but deflects from the massive issues caused by hollowing out the justice system - low prison numbers and empty courts. |
