FFS, America, can't you just drop a couch on this prick and claim it was acting in self-defence?

If you look at the killing of Alex Pretti from multiple angles, it looks like murder, but if you look at it from one very specific angle, it also looks like murder so who knows what the truth is? 🤷‍♀️

Since @didau.bsky.social has got back into doing more public writing in recent months his Substack has been a rich seam of good stuff, often sticking a pin in the balloon of ill-informed dogma that still surrounds much of education orthodoxy.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.

The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

Very much enjoying the squeals of outrage at the awful news coverage from the BBC and their obviously captured and partisan drivel.

From people who have called Scots vile Putin loving Goebbelsesque traitors for saying the same thing for over a decade.

Nice.

What would be HILARIOUS now is if another Labour MP immediately stood down to make room for Andy Burnham.

The following Labour MPs are over 70, and might decide retirement sounds lovely.

Marie Rimmer
Clive Betts
Graham Stringer
John McDonnell
Diane Abbott
Hilary Benn
Valerie Vaz

My first head of department would be excellent at this. He would listen to lengthy proposals from enthusiasts at meetings and, when debate flagged, would ask "But how is any pupil going be better educated by this?"
