A girl I was dating recently was from Faversham in Kent, and her family lived on the North Kent coast... She was a bit of a lefty but said people in places like margate were also up in arms about ex druggies and the homeless being sent to the coast straight from rehab by the council... Bedsit central and the natives are restless
Yep, and the druggies aren't "ex" either. Classic issue for a protest vote, but noone's going to vote LibDem to protest about too much drug use.
Can an old fashioned Comprehensive be classed as normal?
Moat Mount was an old-fashioned comprehensive near me in Mill Hill. One boy from my primary school, St. paul's, went there. He fell foul of the school bullies, who kidnapped him one lunchtime, took him down to the gym and "tried" him. They sentenced him to death, and proceeded to hang him from a gym rope. Very fortunately, one of the teachers interrupted proceedings.

Were you at Mill Hill School between 1973-75?
No. St. paul's, C of E Primary 1971-78.
Thanks.
I was hoping to discover the true nature of the "incident" which caused the new Headmaster of Mill Hill School to leave unexpectedly early.
It does ring a bell, now you mention it. We were just opposite from Mill Hill School, and a couple of my father's friends were Governors. I'll ask around.

Thanks. He was my old housemaster and much respected. Dead now.
I have never met a man or woman who went to single-sex school and has not been mucked up by it. Anecdotally, there seems to be something about missing interaction with boys or girls of the opposite sex that causes problems with relationships later in life.
This seemed to be much worse in the case of religious schools: single sex schools may get better results, but I wonder if they prepare children properly for relationships?
It leads me to wonder if such abuses (whether of boys or girls) by responsible adults are more common in single-sex or mixed-sex schools?
I await howls of anguish and protest. ;-)
I hear my cue!
I think you have a case concerning boys' boarding schools, away from female company and your parents.
I think your point isn't valid for day schools. Plenty of members of the opposite sex within your own family, church and town.

The Lib Dems are the only party with a plan to control drugs by semi legalising them. This approach seems to have worked in some other countries like Portugal.
Politicians of other parties seem to be aware that semi legalising drugs is the solution but are afraid to adopt the policy for fear of the bigots who don't look at the evidence

You have stumbled into a zombie wasteland.
The only thing you can do, is hit them on the head with an "Irony bar" if you think they are infected.

How much money and influence would it take to have it recorded as an actual suicide rather than murder? (hypothetically of course)
I'll leave us with that case study of repugnant moral relativism to consider as I head off to bed.
