In his speech to the Conservative Party Conference yesterday David Cameron claimed that one of the biggest things holding people back in this country “is the shadow of health and safety.“ “I was told recently” he claimed “about a school that wanted to buy a set of highlighter pens. But with the pens came a warning. Not so fast – make sure you comply with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002. Including plenty of fresh air and hand and eye protection. Try highlighting in all that.“ So as you can see, I donned my personal protective equipment and did just that. And he was right: it was bloody hard. I’m not sure though that I understand completely (if indeed at all),…
This is a guest post by Polly I’m often behind a trend, so it came as no surprise at about half past eight in the evening on Tuesday, to find out that I’d just witnessed the complete breakdown of western civilization as we know it, without even realising. AKA the Manchester riot I’d spotted the shops were closed in the centre of town at just before 7 when I got there, but apart from that it looked like a normal rush hour, and it was only when I got home that I was informed via various people who weren’t actually there that Market Street was in the grip of criminal mobs.

There was a survey about parental attitudes around sex education getting some quite prominent coverage in the press towards the end of last week (it’s cited here for instance, and here, and here). Now if you’re anything like me, you might have wondered about the coincidence of such a survey coming out in the very week that, thanks to Wednesday’s 10 minute rule bill on the subject from Nadine Dorries, sex education in schools was set to become a really hot topic. Indeed, following on from the Parliamentary debate, Dorries even used the survey herself in one of her own ‘blog’ posts to help illustrate the support her bill had attracted, and to help reinforce her argument that abstinence education for girls is something…
Just in case you missed it, here’s a link to the text of Nadine Dorries’ speech in the House of Commons yesterday when she presented her ten-minute rule bill to Parliament – Sex Education (Required Content). And here’s a list of the 67 MPs who voted in favour of the nonsensical proposal to “require schools to provide certain additional sex education to girls aged between 13 and 16; to provide that such education must include information and advice on the benefits of abstinence from sexual activity.” Is yours one of the 67? If they are, you’ve got until January next year to help change their mind, because that’s when the bill is set to get its second reading.
