physical torture training...Brian Peacock wrote: ↑Thu Aug 12, 2021 5:54 amAt my school I saw children dragged from their desks by their hair. Objects to hand, like chalk, board rubbers, and once a teacher's lit pipe (teachers smoked in class), were regularly thrown at kids - some teachers had a reputation as a good shot. Other teachers would make you stand on one leg for the rest of the lesson - which I believe is called a 'stress position' today, and amounts to a form of torture - and then you'd probably get the cane. Caning was commonplace. I saw one teacher break up a playground fight between two boys by punching each pugilist in the head, knocking them both to the ground. They were then hauled off on tip toes by the short hairs at their temples to be caned. I guess for most of us this kind of 'discipline' was the same as we got at home. Child protection hadn't been invented then of course.
I remember my first week at school some of the older --in charge-- kids held a "meeting" in order to call out two thieves in the barracks. Of course they just beat the guys. The next time I saw one of them his jaw had been wired shut. That really set the tone.

Yeah, it's been over a decade since a similar, non-terrorist-related mass killing has happened.

Chumocracy carries on:
Warrington council lends billionaire founder of The Hut Group £151m
Warrington council lends billionaire founder of The Hut Group £151m
Blatant corruption.The sum is 10 times the average loan, and was paid to a company indirectly controlled by Matt Moulding
Warrington council lent the billionaire owner of The Hut Group (THG) £151m after the online retailer’s £5bn market listing.
The Cheshire local authority extended a £200m loan facility to a company controlled by Matt Moulding in October, one of the largest council loans on record, from which it has taken three drawdowns totalling more than £151m.
Warrington council’s official documents, prepared last month, revealed the sum was more than 10 times the average loan taken by other local companies, and was paid to a company called Icon 3 Holdco, which is indirectly controlled by Moulding.
It emerged last year that many of THG’s properties had been transferred to Moulding’s personal ownership, meaning he stands to reap an estimated £19m a year in rent from the Manchester-based company.
The entrepreneur and Conservative party donor, who grew up in a house near Burnley in Lancashire with an outside toilet, has amassed an estimated personal paper fortune of £1.9bn through his 25% stake in THG. One of his first forays in business was exploiting a VAT loophole to post CDs to customers from his Guernsey base on behalf of major retailers including Tesco, Asda, WHSmith, Dixons and Best Buy.
THG’s early VAT-free online sales operation has since grown into a digital health and beauty retail giant including Cult Beauty, Lookfantastic.com and the sports nutrition line Myprotein. It also provides e-commerce technology services to firms including Coca-Cola, Nestlé and Unilever.

Re: The state of the UK
Yeah, I just launched a shitstorm on twitland, because, in a discussion about spices, and whether middle age cuisine used them to hide too ripe meat, I stated that in the UK, even if the meat was good, it's the cookery that's rotten.

Re: The state of the UK
A four-year battle to save the life of Geronimo the alpaca has failed.
The news was confirmed by the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
Geronimo twice tested positive for bovine tuberculosis, but the animal’s owner, Helen Macdonald, a veterinary nurse, said the regime was flawed and the eight-year-old alpaca was perfectly healthy.
Macdonald fought the decision in the courts and pleaded with the UK government to allow him to be retested, with more than 130,000 people signing a petition calling for the camelid to be spared and a “human shield” of animal lovers stationing themselves around Geronimo’s pen in south Gloucestershire.
But after a high court judge once again ruled against Macdonald, the government said Geronimo had to be culled.
On Tuesday, police officers arrived at the farm in Wickwar, Gloucestershire that was Geronimo’s home and took the animal away...
