Depends on your area. Through friendship or social media I can get a handle on about 90% of my secondary (high) school year group. From that - about 80 - a couple are dead, couple gay, and I'd say the rest is half and half as to incels or married/have kids. I guess by 'incels' I mean struggling to find a partner, not necessarily never having had one which could also be what a lot of people are doing.

Look at this pussy he doesn't even spend three hours in an oxygen chamber

You know when I typed out my sarcastic comment this was probably the very last conceivable reply I imagined getting, so kudos for that.

Yes, the Chocolate bar did profound damage to the legacy of Emmeline Pankhurts.

The only people that are going to take the actual time to comment are people with a bias either way. The actual answer is that it depends very much on where the school is and the demographic of the children. Sam Fender has spoken out recently in very accurate terms about how 'telling a lad from a pit down up Gateshead he's an aggressor etc' just leads to him being seduced by Tate and cronies, telling him he's worth something. It's exactly how radicalisation works. I don't see this kind of behaviour in Primary, except for the occasional very disturbed child who clearly has others issues or someone feeding them these views. The majority of children are respectful, I teach in an exceptionally run-down area but haven't seen any kind of incel culture, that may be because they have far more important things to worry about. I would imagine it is somewhat prevalent in Secondaries. Family members at Secondary age are aware of Tate and inceldom, but often have a 'tongue-in-cheek' view on it. Ultimately they would know the right way to treat a lady. What surprises me is how dated their humour is, it's more concerning to me that they still use 'gay' as an insult and hold negative connotations against homosexuality. I have no doubt many secondary schools are experiencing frustrated boys who feel like they don't have a voice ganging up without any parental input and throwing their weight around. It's a huge issue that will continue to be ignored or treated in the wrong way. You won't make this go away by telling angry young boys that they're shit. You always won't make it go away by the classic teacher thing of 'sit the naughty boy next to the nice girl'. British society as a whole has got a hell of a lot of work to put in to fix this mess.

New Zealand has famously been one for a very long time, not sure on the other one though.

No problem. Summers can be very tricky, and I'm not sure where you are from but for me a big difference between England and Japan was that Japan actually has air conditioning. So yes, it can be very uncomfortable outside but the second you move indoors, a train, a car that evaporates and you have drinks on every corner to rehydrate. The countryside is so lovely here and the two reasons that i love it is how peaceful it is and the relative lack of people mean even if you don't speak the language well you're free to explore without anyone approaching you. Takayama, Shirakawa-Go, Gunma and Hakone are my reccomendations for beautiful countryside (or more accurately mountainside) areas to visit. Also look into Aomori and Northern Japan (Hokkaido), especially in Spring it can be a beautiful area to visit.

Very true - I live in Takayama in Gifu prefecture. I'm not overly keen in big cities but I never have any trouble if I venture up/down to Kanazawa/Tokyo.

This is complete bollocks I've been in Japan for 5 years and every single day has been a million times more peaceful than living in the UK. It entirely depends on if the issue is you or your environment. For some people, moving will not fix their own grievances with society or problems fitting in/etc. For others, like myself, who were tired of a shambolic quality of living and a vile, self-centered populace they found moved somewhere else and those barriers were removed and they live a happier, more comfortable life.

Good to see Julian Clary back on Reddit

Feed the World. Think it was Mozambique special?

Teacher. Love working with kids but a comment we'll above already pointed out the utter hypocrisy in social standings and behaviours among higher ups. Senior staff treat it like a business and talk down to you consistently and pull you up anytime you raise genuine issues. I'm leaving at the end of the year and can't wait to get out!
