brb gonna add to the ‘slashfic u wanna read’ thread

Hmm

Britain's Home Office neither confirms nor denies it has identified sites to use as internment camps in the event of a no-deal Brexit, saying it needs a "safe space to develop ideas".

look concentration camps are just one of the united kingdom's many historic inventions and we should respect our history by refusing to rule out expanding our existing suite of detention centres in the future, perhaps to provide temporary accommodation to people of interest in case of unexpected events

brb gonna add to the ‘slashfic u wanna read’ thread

henry and hetty have never ever done it

probably best changing the subject re: proposed UK concentration camps and issuing some mealy mouthed hypocritical condemnations of Xi's latest human rights transgressions and then adding some played out fairy tale bollox about how the UK has always been a bastion of tolerance and freedom ...

Hmm

I was reading thru the potential proposals in the Queen's Speech and if the Tories win an election on that manifesto I swear I'll just kill myself

I was thinking the same before election '17, not joking either!

Obv now there is a Britannia unchained gov in waiting, they might save some of us the job.

ironically, britannia can only be unchained by locking up half the country

Transport minister Chris Heaton-Harris said travellers also needed to “do their bit” too. He said:

"We want residents in Kent and hauliers travelling from across the EU to be reassured that there are robust plans in place to deal with any disruption in the event of a no-deal Brexit.

We now need everyone to do their bit. Whether you are travelling to see family, heading to work or transporting vital goods around the country, please check before you travel to ensure you know what to expect and have the right documents when heading to the border."

Fuck expecting people to "do their bit". Cheeky cunt.

we need everyone to do their bit by being prepared to be stuck in their cars for up to six days on motorway heading into dover

also, they should fully expect to be disappeared to a cargo container on the isle of wight for an indeterminate period if they choose to travel without their passport, birth certificate, driving licence, netflix login and a set of crisp £10 bills to bribe border officials

The local press is starting to raise awareness that Kent's essentially going to be turned into a vast holding site for lorries - though being Kent they're also playing up the angle that the holding site will be rife with gangs, drugs, etc, etc.

mediocre club cricketers

hops

gotta go to the West Midlands next spring, hope you have all this sorted by then. can bring a can of human flesh to offer to the bandits if needed.

I gather Dennis Skinner heckled by naming his favourite Phil Collins song (it's a good one tbfttlexitlad)

sussudio is a weird heckle but fair play to the lad all the same

You can't hurry, love.

Good catch!

LOOOOL knew that pic of Corbyn grimacing (the camera person was about to trip over a thing, apparently) would wind up here.

Please check before travelling by reading the absolutely zero useful information the government has put out. An excellent idea and one I wish I'd thought of

The inlaws intend to come over from Ireland at Christmas, in a caravan, possibly with a dog, and all the information says is "check before travelling", "check with your vet 4 months before travelling" - well, we don't have 4 months, and I don't think asking a vet here or there is going to provide any useful information yet

this is less interesting than "will we still have food by Christmas" and "will my mother still be alive if she can't get her big box of medical supplies from the chemist every month" but it's all just more layers of fun, it's brilliant, thank you Tory government

+BREAKING+

EU leaders have reached internal agreement to potentially offer Britain a 9-12 month Brexit extension.

— Nick🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@nicktolhurst) October 14, 2019

lol hysterical timing

"There's no way Bojo can succesfully claim an extension as a victory!"

Bojo succesfully claims an extension as a victory

"Hrmp, yeah. Nevertheless!"

an extension which, to be clear, he has not yet asked for and has repeatedly claimed he will not request

I do appreciate the "generosity" (nudgenudgewinkwink) of the EU. Ideally they'd have offered a take it or leave it extension of ten years. 6 to 9 months will make things more difficult for Bojo, I must admit on second inspection of... *peers at screen* the Grauniad's live blog.

Haven't seen that reported anywhere else tbh.

Meanwhile, fuck the Home Office

The British Home Office has won its appeal against an immigration tribunal ruling which found that people born in Northern Ireland are not automatically British.

The woman at the centre of the case, Emma DeSouza, from Magherafelt, Co Derry, applied for a residence card for her US-born husband Jake. She made the application identifying herself as an Irish citizen.

The UK Home Office rejected the application on the grounds that it considered Ms DeSouza a British citizen. Officials told her she could either reapply identifying herself as British, or renounce her UK citizenship and reapply as an Irish citizen.

A huge extension would cause so much chaos inside the Tories, it's only the impending deadline that's keeping them together rn

If it happened.

fuck business was the only sensible thing bojo ever said

1. The CBI's £196b figure is absurd - it adds a 30% mark up to asset values on "historical precedent" 🧐

2. The CBI report says it only looks at the costs not the benefits🤦‍♂️

3. The CBI uses private letters with Govt but a loudhailer with Labour. Why?🤔https://t.co/bEoCUFOXsy

— Tom Kibasi (@TomKibasi) October 14, 2019

i am not an economist but looking at the costs while ignoring the benefits seems... problematic

Just posting this as a reminder for the next time someone says “but the right wing press doesn’t matter!/Labour should be able to overcome the right wing press/the right wing press doesn’t influence opinions!” & would also urge you to google hate crimes against people with disabilities as recorded by the home office.

seriously advocate inviting Greg Hurst to have a long hard look at himself just in case there's an iota of humanity in there somewhere

iirc funding for students with special needs hasn't been allocated separately to the whole budget since at least the introduction of EHCPs, leading, one might say inevitably, to a cut in the money allocated to support those students as it disappeared into the general pot

presumably some disingenuous cunt at the Times has just found out about this and reversed the logic

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EG1WRA2X4AAeFNQ?format=jpg&name=large
Assume this means regularising the provisions of the CTA in statute & the exceptions are criminals or w/e, but jfc all the same at that wording 😬

How is SEN Support funded in schools?

This information is about funding for special educational needs (SEN) in mainstream schools. This includes academies and free schools.
Contents

What is SEN funding for?

Funding for SEN provision is from three sources (“elements”)

Where can I get further information, advice or support?

What is SEN funding for?

The SEND Code of Practice says schools must:

“…use their best endeavours to make sure that a child with SEN gets the support they need – this means doing everything they can to meet children and young people’s SEN”. (6.2)

Schools should use some of their budget to buy resources and make provision for children who need additional help. This can take many forms. For example, children with SEN might need:

changes to the curriculum;
special equipment or teaching materials;
the use of additional information technology;
small group work;
support in the classroom; and
a base to work in or have quiet time.

Return to top
Where does funding for SEN come from?

All mainstream schools receive money for special educational needs support and resources. Schools can decide how to spend this money. This is called “delegated” funding because it is given (delegated) to schools by local authorities or the Education Funding Agency from money they receive from central government.

The SEN part of the school’s income is sometimes called the “notional” SEN budget because it is not based on the school’s actual numbers of pupils with special needs, but on a formula.

Money for support is allocated to every school, most of them have plundered it for years to pay for non-specialist stuff like leak-free roofs, teachers, etc etc

shit, bad bit of cut and paste there, i've got a thick head. the last two or three sentences are particularly relevant.

this post otm

Here you go @thetimes I’ve corrected headline for you.

“All pupils are missing out on education because schools are underfunded. Government and Councils would rather we blamed children with disabilities for asking for their statutory rights’.
