Do yourself a favour, Boris. Don't give this one a deadline. Just say it'll be done when it's done.

The first favour he could do is turn up for this cunt on time.
Clashing with Thiago Alcantara is a great tactic to ensure only the top tier melts tune in.
If it's a proper ADDRESS THE NATION broadcast rather than just a nerdfest question and answer briefing then you would like to think he has some sort of big'un to give it about vaccine targets/timetables.
Does he fuck, he just wants to give it gravitas in the vague hope a few more people might follow the rules again.
I woz right about Cummings/Barnard Castle being a costly error, which makes it about 154-137 in the lifetime scoreboard.
I'm still not having it. People can tell poll wankers all they want, but what he did (completely within the rules) was only bad if it was dangerous, and if it was dangerous then why would you suddenly start doing likewise? It's the same knobheads who were against the Christmas rule changes whilst planning to make the most of them.
Now we're talking. The Army will probably take over two weeks from now.
Boris needs to announce this by banging his fist off an oak table whilst saying, "I'm done fucking around!" And then he punches Carrie to show he means business. Michael Gove should be seen cowering in a corner whilst Boris rolls up his sleeves and advances towards him.
'From eight o'clock tomorrow morning a teacher will be hanged on the hour, every hour, until all of the schools...'
I'm booing the NHS on Thursday night. Randrew in particular.
8pm on a Monday night - "Just to let you know, don't send your kids to school in twelve hours time".
I imagine that's a right lot of use if you're a working parent. Useless cunt.
At least they didn't go in today.
Exams cannot go ahead as planned. And that means??
I was watching some old Ab Fab clips during that, but sounds like he's got his vectors out again? Playing all the hits.
If the useless are all vaccinated by mid-February then deaths ought to be down by ninety-nine per cent, which means the regulations can all fuck off, which means why can't exams just be delayed by six weeks?

Here's the juice for any detail fans out there.
Why don't we take the opportunity to bin the things altogether (this is probably my most left-wing opinion).
Schools aside this is no different from tier 4 from what I can see. Which means towns and cities will still be full of people mooching around the few shops that are open.
What percentage of professions are exam conditions never encountered in? Must be very high.
If only students had a body of work they'd done over the preceding years on which they could be judged.
Exams are good imo.
(I don't have the self disicipline to work continuously at coursework)
Coursework has it's merits, but is too open to corruption. I like the idea of modular exams, spread out over the years, but that takes away some freedom from schools to decide what to teach pupils and when.
You're right that exams don't really fit in with the 'real world', but then neither do subjects.
The fact that coursework counts for very little to nothing and your leaving grades are predicated almost fully on a single exam is mind-boggling to me. The ‘real world’ requires both consistent effort and moments of performance under pressure, but generally far more of the former.
In an ideal world, I think teachers should award grades based on performance and ability demonstrated across the year. Unfortunately Wymondham College are cheating bastards and it wouldn't work.
I always assumed that subjects were largely a means of smuggling brain training into you, rather than being 'things' on their own merits: i.e. maths is hard logic, history is assessing evidence, English is about clear communication, foreign languages are about empathy, etc.
If those are the things you're looking to test then I'd have thought written exams in a large stuffy room in silence would only be one way of doing it and would benefit a certain type of person (me). Then again, both sides of politics seem to think that education is about loading their own take on factual worldview into people's brains, so I'm probably starting from the wrong place.
Mid-February? You fucking massive bunch of cunts.
Making coursework matter is the best path to grade inflation. I am on team exams. Who cares about any sort of applicability to the real world.
All these courses are just to show you have the discipline to complete them and pass exams. Then you go out into the world and use about 5% of what you learned.
The point is to show you have the capability to consistently learn and apply new material. What that material is, is irrelevant if it’s not a physical skill.
End of term exams are shite anyway, it probably wouldn’t be a bad thing to wean children off of cramming for a test and actually concentrating and applying over the duration of the term.
The have and have not issue is brutal though. If you’re poor and don’t have the space, resources, support then you’re screwed.
You would kill to be associated with something so moderately successful.
Is this Lewis on the ropes?
How good are RL's rimjob for this, Boydy?
BBC News are running a 'the new SA variant could be more resistant to the vaccine'. Let's be fucking 'avin ya
The sooner we convert historians into nurses or electricians the better. Leave Orlando Figes out there to do his thing and everyone else can figure out how to make themselves useful somehow
Also, Team Exams
