Leave Them Kids Alone! The Alphabetti Spaghetti of Inclusion Sun Feb 08, 2026 13:00 | Dave Summers
Ofsted's latest 'Inclusion' push reduces kids to colour-coded labels on a spreadsheet. It feels more stigmatising than supportive ? why can't they just leave them kids alone? asks Dave Summers.

While we cannot judge that Zack Polanski is a wally just because he permanently wears a parka, we can probably agree he looks grim, says Joanna Gray. It's time for Britain to return to dressing well.

As The Corrupt Trade "2006 rankings"

In the last week this year's "transparency org" world corruption perception report has been published. It's a report which is taken seriously by some, and certainly no country looking for foreign investment wants to be at the bottom of the 163 states ranked this year. (Interestingly the world boasted 158 states for last year's report)

But both the annual list of "corruption perception" and "bribery perception" indices, can not be understood as isolated statistics. Just as Greenspan's biographer assured us he takes stock of over 4000 weekly indicators, we can not consider just one single country or economy when discussing corruption or bribery. Nor can we refuse to draw in other human development indicators, (the UNHDR report) all the usual "facts and figures" and internal data.

where the ruffians and loveable rogues do business & banking is where children are sold, birds have flu, and misery is cheap.

From the launch “Corruption traps millions in poverty,” said Transparency International Chair Huguette Labelle. “Despite a decade of progress in establishing anti-corruption laws and regulations, today’s results indicate that much remains to be done before we see meaningful improvements in the lives of the world’s poorest citizens.”

I particularly liked the image of the 'anti-corruption suggestion box'.

Like the little wooden boxes in parish halls and community centres all over the world.
One wonders whom has the key and if they like making paper airplanes.

It encourages people to anonymity and alas not to stand up and confront
corruption- such as having a suggestion box in the oil conference today,
far better to go along and embarass the feckers and make sure that they
know where you are at....
