Oo, actually on mat leave though, so I guess that makes me a SAHM at the mo. Dont know if I'm able to go back yet either...
PS not English either, not just not living in England

smallwhitecat does anyone take Polly Toynbee seriously?

Solution: don't read the Guardian.

Oh, you already thought of that

smallwhitecat: you've excelled yourself in a quiet but pithy and concise way on this thread. And you do it on others too.

Can you do something. Can you change your name to Smallwhitecat? That way you can get to be royalty and everyone will start to agree with us you. You put things so well.

See like Manatee does, you can be royalty together.

I though only the working classes drove Fiats.

Mine's a Toyota, thanks. In all other respects I fit the stereotype.

As you were ladies.

this is my fave comment below the article -

It's not their fault. 50 years of cultural Marxist infiltration, thanks to Signor Gramsci and the Frankfurt School, means that most people of child bearing age in this country have been well and truly indoctrinated.

Let's hope that UKIP put some reversals into their next manifesto. Sounds like the BNP are in meltdown, so there's some hope that they'll pick up their share of the vote.

I don't think he'll be able to fill it with enough posh children even with the quota of musically gifted. Those who get the music scholarships are probably waiting to hear from private schools and will take their places in them. I think there'll be a good proportion of difficult children who his lovely new head will not have been used to dealing with. I also predict fallings out between the steering group as differences in their philosophies are brought into focus by the actual business of running the school. Am looking forward to it all playing out.

DD1 has a toy rabbit called Gramsci . . . [I blame DH!]

Bramshott: my dd has toy rabbit called Kropotkin. [I blame dp too]. Any more?

at Euphemia's comment on 'taking the Telegraph' (first page.)

Yes, of course we're all harpies who all say and believe exactly the same things. That's why there are never any arguments on here, and it's precisely why we are all unanimous on every issue of the day.

Natch.

having skim read it (doesn't warrant anything more) isn't he accusing mn of what he actually is?

But I would say in terms of multiculturalism I really don't get mn - I feel it really is a bunch of (not upper middle class) white women just winging it and accusing everyone else of racism. Doesn't resonate with my life. But hey who cares.

Are there really that many people who knows someone who went out with Ed Miliband?

We do, of course.

No, really, we do.

Has anyone taken on the username guardianreadingharpy yet?
