@andreajenkyns Hiya Andrea, teachers are putting children first by striking. Part of what we're asking for is properly funded schools. This will mean more money for students and better lessons. At the moment, every time there is a pay rise, the money comes out of the classroom.

The man was clearly using reasonable force to prevent someone from committing a crime namely obstruction of a public highway , he used the force necessary to stop the criminality.

@MerylORourke @Aiannucci I’m a supply teacher , it’s the hardest job. Imagine going into schools to deal with attitudes such as these, and then have to deal with the parents who enable their child’s disrespect. Supply teachers are teachers and it’s time we were treated with a bit more respect than this!

@v_j_freeman I think this is a reasonable response quite honestly, there was a picture of israeli kids in cages that went around a few days ago. It was quickly dismissed as a fake. In an age of real fakes and fake news people are right to be suspicious about what they hear and want to verify

@laurenhowellss Lauren, I think could be construed as a fair comment, I've experienced bullying and abuse within the Labour Party I've seen it. I've also seen it sometimes get nearly physical. For those people who experience this who leave, I could see trauma they feel as being similar.
