Critical reading is not a skill taught at school / in life and not many are immune to being bombarded by modern media! It's a strange new world!  G

"If you want my vote: knock on my door" I had my door knocked by a candidate for the first time in 20 years living at my address, last night. Usually I get home from work to find a "sorry we missed you" note through the letter box. It seems like most canvassing in my neck of the woods is done in office hours, suggesting that nobody really cares about what the poor sods who work full-time to pay for the tax breaks for billionaires and the benefits for the impoverished actually think. And that's why they keep milking me like a cash cow. |

I didn’t say I didn’t use social media. I’ve never had a canvasser knock on the door, I am literally the last road in Reading East before it becomes Wokingham constituency. My friend has had John Redwood knock on the door though, as he lives a bit further into the Wokingham Constituency. |

OK swits. Great thing about this site - I stand corrected. It IS taught at school! But only A and AS level, so what % of kids does that represent?! G

Going back to degree approval events in my past, critical thinking occupied a very important position in L4 modules and above. Competence in CT should go without saying, I think, but too many students found reading for meaning and analysis of material a step too far - and I suspect this situation is not confined to HE.

Sounds like Boris has just made up a NIC cut on the hoof or given the wrong figure

Seems llike they're panicking because it was supposed to be a big thing for the manifesto launch. Anyway, it's refreshing to see the Tories trying something different with a bribery tax cut at election time. Oh, wait.... |

How's it being funded? I'm looking forward to seeing the usual diagrams showing how people earning less than 12,000 are loads better off, but there's no benefit whatsoever, or possibly even cost, to the cash cow in the middle. |
