Let the people that want to use excuses use them. When it comes to looking for a good job after they graduate, without a final grade they'll miss out on the September intake and find themselves doing menial jobs for the next 12 months. In the long run it will put students who use this BS at a disadvantage, but they are adults and need to learn about life choices. This could help filter out the candidates you don't want

Let’s hope that in the future should anyone need emergency services that firemen or ambulance drivers aren’t off work traumatised by something that happened 5,000 miles away.

First of all the downer on Enid Blyton has been going on for decades. I can remember being 'discouraged' by teachers in Primary school from reading them and there were none in the School Libary. But I still read them and enjoyed them a lot. So nothing new there. In terms of the Globe then their entire reason for existence is Shakspeare. (as a boring aside, did you know they had to get an act of Parliament through to even build it due to objections from the LFB about how the roof was constructed?). They start f***ing with that and they will not last. People go there because they want to see Shakespear performed in the original surroundings. Not some messed up woke version. Strikes me purely as a PR stunt. And Goldsmith college? LOL. Seriously, nobody cares what that institution does. Has been run by utter lunatics ever since the 70's. Full of the scabbiest and most unwashed 'art' students in London, which is saying something. Just looking to maintain its 'wadical' repuation with crap like this.

Let’s see if they’re still doing it next season or will their astonishingly selfless gesture have achieved it’s end and ensured equality for all? It’s inconceivable that footballers kneeling for 8 seconds won’t completely change society. The advances for which they’ve been responsible are literally immeasurable already. Imagine what they could achieve if they knelt for 10 seconds! Word peace at the very least.

If England finally win something and it’s with a bunch of socially conscious knee benders that the ‘patriots’ boo then I don’t think I will stop laughing or stop wearing my England shirt proud for months.

Anyway what has that to do with how England play. If we went out at the first stage I would not blame the Knee Taking but the players being crap. One more point
