Maybe West Midlands Police are successfully keeping both groups separated and preventing violence, like they did last time to a good degree if success.

I just want to see how many there are and maybe yell "gently caress off" at them - looks like I will have to wait for the news - seems the only people opposing them directly today will be the cops

Looks like theyve lost the key to the porta-potty they were escorting people to now

The mask slips, as the guy willing to contort any statement made by corbyn into the most negative meaning possible accused others of the opposite.

You've been asked before about who you would like to see as leader, to which you reply "anybody else". So I've got an alternative that you should be able to answer. The vote for Labour leader had a public element to it, which of the candidates did you, pissflaps, vote for?

Looks good to me (as someone with a third in Astrophysics (via Maths) from Cambridge and a failed attempt at PGCE Secondary Maths).

The problems are (as the lament itself notes):

1. the whole thing is so complicated that really all you could do is abolish the National Curriculum and say to teachers "look, you guys figure it out, we'll muddle through somehow", which leads into...

2. finding enough teachers with the time and motivation to teach mathematics properly, and who aren't scared of getting it wrong, and who don't hate dealing with large numbers of kids. If we expand this to cover all subjects, you may find yourself employing every single adult in the country.

In short: aaaaaaa

Having just got to the end of this myself, it seems the obvious solution if you want to do as suggested and let everyone learn what they learn without caring about whether they all match the same (broken) standard of a productive member of society would be to institute some system whereby they are supported in whatever pursuit they might choose, so that profit motivation (or the drive to survive) is no longer the primary force in people's lives.

In other words, full communism now.

Maybe the xenophobes will split into the ones that think that Britain should leave because the EU is foreign and the ones that think that Britain should remain because the EU is white and pretty xenophobic itself.

Who can tell: it's 40 years since we had a vote on the issue. When it comes to constitutional change in the UK, apathy and the status quo almost always win out; on the other hand, people that hate the EU REALLY hate it, while supporters are generally "meh" at best. I could see "Leave" winning just because of their side being more motivated to turn out on the day.

A good point, though I still think Project Fear 2.0 will see the delivery of a Remain result.

It's the result I want, but not the method I'd use to get it.

I'm not sure which result I'd prefer. On one hand I think Britain would be stronger and wealthier and all that in the EU, but I'm not convinced that's a good thing in and of itself; Britain is wealthy enough, the problem is who has that wealth, and that's not what we're voting on.
On the other hand a lot of the 'European Unity' stuff sounds straight out of the David Duke playbook and that's worrying, and the formation of a pan-European superpower is a bit worrying for all of the world outside of Europe, so anything that weakens that is a positive.
And they're a bunch of corrupt neoliberal capitalist austerity-fetishists who keep swinging further to the right, but so's Britain so that one's not really going to change much whether we remain or leave. :suicide:

I don't know if I've even heard of the sin double angle formula :(

This is where that article really resonated with me - I remember trig as being a boring slog of trying to remember the relationship between sin, cos and tan through some rhyme I always got confused, and never really having an idea of what any of them meant besides something to do with circles and triangles. It's a bit daunting when I look at all the stuff I need to learn before I can get to grips with the stuff I actually want to know.
