it's alright though, Eton and other private schools won't be downgrading the results.

UK government adopts teacher-assessed grades in England in major U-turn
https://www.theguardian.com/poli…- woah... huge embarrassment (again).fadein11
- Lol.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯PhanLo - should take the mid point between algo and teachers marks, and add 5%. would be fair enough.shapesalad
- don't see why tests couldn't have happened. 50 students in a big hall, windows all open, fans keeping air flow.shapesalad
- plus masks on everyone. could they not done that?shapesalad
- if anyone needs testing it's the tory government, doubt they'd pass the 11+ ... the fucking idiotsBluejam
- test what? what about the curriculum? Coursework? It's not just exams. No way you could re-jig it with no time and the schools closed.Fax_Benson
- Unis are under-subscribed this year anyway due to the pandemic. Deferrals, fewer foreign students etc. Could have just gone with teacher assessment wks agoFax_Benson
- and so what if a few kids scrape into uni with generous grades...Fax_Benson
- Exactly fax.fadein11
- Utter shitstorm for Uni admissions now though. Accepted many on courses that may be oversubscribed and now have to also take on those refused a few days ago.fadein11
- ... and it's only MondayBluejam
- @bluejam, the week in tory always starts with a bang, and continues day by day :)fadein11

- i build distance learning degrees/ masters and applications are up this year for my courses, worried in case they try to restructure our dept.kingsteven
- as i'm at the top of my pay grade and i can do 10x students but wont be worth it if i have to deal with more tutors and admin staff.kingsteven

It’s Tuesday, #TheWeekInTory is already 80 points long, and I’m very sorry you have to read it.
And even more sorry I had to write the bloody thing.
Anyway, here goes....

From Bluejams twitter link below:
"49. The govt had 5 months to plan and execute one exam policy affecting 335,000 students
50. The govt now has 4 months to plan and execute over 2000 Brexit policies affecting 67 million of us, and every business in the country. Brace, brace."
God lord.... not sure whether to stock up on tins of beans and rations to get me through 2021, or get in one of those abandoned inflatables and paddle my way across the channel to France.

- We don't have the highest death rate in Europe (Belgium does, perhaps even Spain once figures are adjusted) and we're far off from having a cumulative totalNairn
- ...that in any way usefully describes "which country dun it right". Not that I want to defend these cunts, just.. well. This isn't wholly accurate.Nairn
- political advertising accurate? are you mad?hans_glib
- We've had 41,409 deaths, Spain
28,797, but Spain has a larger amount of cases.PhanLo - https://www.statista…Nairn
- I don't want to defend these cunts, but I do believe they went with the 'best' science they had at each juncture. As I believe - there is no right answer here.Nairn
- Earnestly - I believe that UK was fucked because we are a nexus nation for so many people internationally. If we'd closed the country down, we'd've saved livesNairn
- and perhaps we should have, but we didn't know, so didn't do it. Quarantining 67M people who have a sociopolitical outlook as we do here would be... troublesomeNairn
- . ...without any mass consensus.
If there's one thing we don't have in the UK, it's mass consensus. On anything.Nairn - Ah mad, I was going off some Google figures the lying bastards. I don't think the Tories had a fucking clue what they were doing.PhanLo
- I don't think anyone really does.PhanLo
- Exactly. 2 months ago everyone was decrying the Swedes, but now look at how things are going. Second wave? Quicker in EU outside of UK.Nairn
- No cunt's got it right and whilst I don't want to applaud our lots efforts, I also think it's a bit unfair to demand they got everything perfect.Nairn
- I just wish that the EU *and* the UK were better positioned to pull together on all of this. Brexit aside, this is something Europeans should excel at, togetherNairn
- Seeing what was happening in Italy and not shutting down sooner was a bit shit.
It is thought even if they shut down a week earlier the death toll would half.PhanLo - Winter's going be be dull.PhanLo
- indeed phan, science was never the driving force from our cunt overlords.fadein11

Tommy back from Spain singing the hymns.
Are country back on it's feet.

"EU negotiators have rejected a British request for a migration pact that would allow the government to return asylum seekers to other European countries.
When the Brexit transition period expires on 31 December, the government will lose the right to transfer refugees and migrants to the EU country in which they arrived, a cornerstone of the European asylum system known as the Dublin regulation."

- Crikey.
https://talksport.co…Nairn - ^ooyah.
Wish I'd cropped out Baddiel's text and went with Mogg's bit more zoomed in.PhanLo - I've never much liked him and find his bland brand of PC outrage tedious af, so am kind of glad to see that he's [obviously] a hypocrite like every other cunt.Nairn
