Labour has appointed Becky Francis, an intersectional feminist, to rewrite the national curriculum, which it will then force all schools to teach. Prepare for even more woke claptrap to be shoehorned into the classroom.

Don't worry about it Foreigners!
You can be brainy too.
* Learn the name of the Irish Attorney General.
* Remind your new found Irish pals as you meet them on holidays eager for a good time : that the "Confirmation" ritual is not just about the brainy extraction of cash from relatives and neighbours - its the Catholic "coming of age".
* Remind everyone that the Irish people didn't really assemble all their abuse victims in every hamlet, village and town to put flowers on the railings.
* Don't forget that there really was no great and unprecendented closing of ranks, rather to the contrary one very brainy man carried the "No!" into the official record, & the establishment being medium to upper intermediate "brainy" has by now learnt that when we want - we can hurt them.
* Remember to remind people in the future that one big word "cunnilingus" wasn't given its first mention in the Irish lower chamber.
* Wear glasses. [Now there's a lot of debate over which type of glasses to wear to really look "brainy", probably bifocals or reading glasses are the way to go, avoid sunglasses just like fake tan, that attempt to seem "brainy" rarely comes off.]
* Grow a beard. & learn how to stroke it. [This really helps regardless of whether your man or a woman, no person with a beard who has learnt how to stroke it can ever really be thought a moron.]
I hope one of the other brainy people will add to the list. Coz its not good enough just thinking yourself brainy - you need peer-support.
They just forgot to count the women.
the usual bullshit, maybe the women apostles were too busy washing and drying
the feet of the men to be counted, or didn't jesus do that himself,
though I am not sure he used his hair, maybe his beard?
A whole lot of nasty beard rash images coming to mind, now,
thus I will stop lest indymedia is accused of blasphemy as well as rampant undiluted
sexism .

Goosey Goosey Gander where shall I wander,
Upstairs, downstairs and in my lady's chamber
There I met an old man who wouldn't say his prayers,
I took him by the left leg and threw him down the stairs.
(popular rhyme)
"Una donna a quindici anni
Dče saper ogni gran moda,
Dove il diavolo ha la coda,
Cosa č bene e mal cos'č.
Dče saper le maliziette"
Mozart - Cosi Fan Tutti.
The poisoned chalice has been passed to the next government, & by now you might as well know, your place in the establishment is just about to dissolve 6 wilt like flowers left on court railings.
Take your strong opinion, shocking language, blasphemous references to historical fact with you and get back to being skangers, spides & plebs for Tuesday morning.
But do note - that the period 23/5/06 - 2/6/06 will prove a test of your braininess within the first 18 months of the next government, if you're still interested in that sort of thing.
