MAT governance lead 🇨🇵🇬🇧🇪🇺
Governance, equal rights, nature, books and crafts.
We've been lucky to see some along the Exe estuary and recently the Otter estuary (both in Devon). Either too quick or too far to photograph though.

3/ This should help to prepare pupils to play a full and active part in society. It teaches them how to explore political and social issues critically, to weigh up evidence, to debate, and to make reasoned arguments.
It sounds like many of our politicians need to go back to school and learn this!

2/ Citizenship is a compulsory subject for secondary students who are taught about Parliament, the importance of voting and elections, the legal system in the UK, different sources of law and how the law helps society deal with complex problems.

I hope they will go and apologise to the residents of the hotel for being part of a party that encourages protests outside asylum seeker hotels. And that they review their views on other matters and call out the views of other Reform councillors too.

Talking of British values, perhaps he should have a look at the Life in the UK test you must pass to gain settlement. As someone who did it, I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry at this test question (the statement comes straight from the official study book) at the time and even less now.

I am sad that I am still using it now, a decade later. But whenever I feel it's needed, here I go, politely,quietly but firmly "you're talking about people like me".

At the time of the Brexit referendum, many EU citizens like me were told by people they knew "it's not about you". So I started to use a short sentence often: "you're talking about people like me". Because it's much less easy to blame someone you know and relate to than an unknown group of "others".
