James O'Brien on teacher hate

[OxanaVorontsova]

Thought you guys would appreciate this

Thanks. Was a good listen whilst dyeing my hair.

I love J O'B.

You dyed your hair during the SCHOOL DAY! Fiend. Get thee gone. Did you also have gin and put your feet up in the garden??

I almost added ps I’m part time but thought I’d be safe in the staff room

No where is safe...

Thanks for sharing the link OxanaVorontsova I needed to hear that.

He's great, so good at rationally hoisting idiots by their own petard, his book is fab

Detention for @thehoneybadger for hair dying during a working day [tut]

I like his points about gaslighting. That private sector workers have been gaslit into blaming public sector workers for the erosion of their rights.

I like what he was, I think, alluding to about there being a moral element to public service. I think it’s perhaps that element that threatens government and the workers will do what we tell them to ideas of a purely economically driven elite.

They’ve had to undermine us because otherwise we could say this is bad for children and be believed or this puts patients lives in danger and be believed or these police cuts will mean we cannot keep people safe and be believed.

If we were trusted as moral voices with larger ethics than money grabbing it would undermine the government and threaten resistance to slashing public services.

He’s so right about the ‘right wing ghouls’.

J'OB must be a mums netter - he's definitely been reading the posts on here.

I listened to this last night. Very good indeed.
