Why collective action is key
ABOUT 6.5 per cent of British children are educated privately, and those pupils need teachers.
But without the automatic protection of the National Agreement on Pay and Conditions of Service — the “Burgundy Book” — those teachers can be especially vulnerable.

Transsexuals like me look on in horror as a whole industry springs up to provide paraphernalia for children ‘identifying’ as the opposite sex. In what sort of world does a parent buy a fake penis for their preschool-age daughter?
