A “white voting bloc” has always been difficult to sustain in Britain because white Britons are not an ethnoreligious community with a single shared moral vision. Class, region, religion, education and culture often shape political instincts more than race alone. 1/2

All of this x 100 …and it’s a lot to do with who runs - and writes for - these papers, the networks they are part of and what they consider important. In addition to @williamnhutton’s point we rarely hear from thousands of pupils ‘rejected’ every year by 11 plus @comp_future

Society still values "A" grades over self-esteem because our perception of success is economic wealth and not relational wealth.
This belief guides so many of our policies and practices. How many people are working against their natural instincts. We need knowledge & confidence.
