Oh god please let this come true

It's not been voted on yet. We could be on the precipice of a general election. Hold firm, my friends!
Wait... did I just agree with you?

Where exactly do we all go after this thread wraps up? I'm new to politics on GAF. I just assumed this thread would... well... last forever.
I mean, the thread continues - it just gets moved to 'Community'. Pretty much ensures that no newcomers ever see it, no passing traffic - just the same old small bunch that gets continually smaller. See: FootyGAF, UK PoliGAF.
IMMIGRATION BILL
"This will be complemented by legislation to ensure that the United Kingdom
makes a success of Brexit, establishing new national policies on immigration"
The purpose of the Bill is to:
• Allow the Government to end the EU's rules on free movement of EU nationals in
the UK and make the migration of EU nationals and their family members subject
to relevant UK law once the UK has left the EU, whilst still allowing the UK to
attract the brightest and the best.
The main benefits of the Bill would be:
• To ensure we have the flexibility to create a fair and sustainable immigration
system that gives us control over the numbers of people who come to the UK
from the EU.
The main elements of the Bill are:
• To allow the Government to repeal EU law on immigration, primarily free
movement, that will be saved and converted into UK law by the Repeal Bill.
• To allow the Government to make the migration of EU nationals and their family
members subject to relevant UK law once the UK has left the EU.
Territorial extent and application
• The Bill would apply to the UK. Immigration is a reserved matter.
Key facts
• The Repeal Bill will save and convert EU law into UK law before we leave the
EU. We are introducing an Immigration Bill that allows us to end free movement
in the UK and bring EU nationals within the UK's immigration system.
Haha I doubt that's a coincidence. In fact, the Queen seemed pretty damn unimpressed with the whole thing in a way I don't recall from previous state openings.
Fair enough. Glad I jumped into the thread when I did then. At least we'll have GE 2017-2 to get things active again.I mean, the thread continues - it just gets moved to 'Community'.

Brexit OT: http://neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=1240288I still vote for a Brexit OT to see how well the UK's proposed bills go down with their competent counterparts in the EU.
Funnily enough between the teachers I know who teach at grammar school and ex-grammar school friends, almost none of them voted Tory.Love seeing Tories get a good kicking
The absolutely ludicrous lie that 'The EU needs us more than we need them', fed right into a lot of peoples Nationalistic delusions about 'Grate Britane'.
Funnily enough between the teachers I know who teach at grammar school and ex-grammar school friends, almost none of them voted Tory.
Not that surprising when you think about it - grammar school alumni are usually well educated, and well educated people are less likely to vote Tory.

The homes are within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea but in the more affluent south end of the borough. They have been purchased by the Corporation of London and will become part of its social housing stock.
"Grenfell Tower families to be rehoused in 68 apartments in luxury development" - Via The Guardian.
Interesting to note:
A big, well-deserved poke in the eye for wankers who love how "exclusive" their posh, expensive housing complex is, although the article does note that it's unclear if Grenfell survivors will get access to the perks of the building private tenants get, like "a 24-hour concierge, swimming pool, sauna and spa and private cinema."
I'm sure they will build a separate entrance to stop the residents having to mix.

oh look Corbyn was right again
Jeremy Corbyn will make anime real.
Anime is already real.Jeremy Corbyn will make anime real.
He's a mad man, his words will never come true and he has no idea what he was talking about!
- but they've just done this what he suggested
He'll never run the country, he's an idiot
- but they've also done this
He has no idea what he's talking about!
- look at how they've done what he suggested for the tower survivors
Look, his socialist ideals have no place in modern society, look at how socialism just leads to dictatorship, he doesn't know what he's doing.
- but
Jeremy Corbyn is a monster.
- I give up.
Also: will ruin economy as he is a Marxist-Leninist hell bent on making a command economy which will be run from his revolutionary abode in Islington.
What have y'all got against grammar schools?

If I'm right in thinking that this Queen's Speech is to last two years worth of operational parliament...
1: The Conservatives expect to pass very little.
2: The Conservatives have only chosen to do things that place Labour in a position to support or otherwise be criticised.
3: Austerity still reigns and nothing will change for the better in any way.

They're put in middle class areas and gamed by middle class parents so their kids don't have to mix with the estate riff-raff.
Every single credible independent report says that grammar schools are a bad idea if you want to raise education standards across the board and narrow the gap between low and high achievers.

This.
It allows the 'haves' to pretend the 'have nots' don't exist. That the strains and social pressures surrounding the schools that the great majority attend don't exist.
I simply don't believe in encouraging a tiered education system in which money buys success. It will to some degree, it probably always will, but the state shouldn't be actively encouraging that.
I don't agree with faith schools or free schools either, regardless of their success. Parents seem to experience false latter day conversions in order to get their offspring in to successful faith schools, I find them problematic ideologically speaking (in a secular society), and as for free schools - I have no opposition to the funding freedoms, it's the lack of regulation (free from LEA oversight) that doesn't sit right with me.
All of these uneven and inequitably distributed models disrupt what would otherwise be a more level playing field.
Corbyn aint taking no shit.
am I right in thinking May is less smug now?
What?
Am I just confused as to what a grammar school is?
