Why do they know the difference between criticism and name calling there?

We don't elect our PMs remember.

The ability to do so needs a certain level of intelligence and mental agility, and perhaps you've heard the term "transferable skills"?

:hehe:

The point you're trying to make is?

cant you remember?


:hehe:

Impressive indeed! :thumbs: Intelligence and the ability to work very hard aren't qualities some people can relate to if they don't have those qualities themselves. Too much effort maybe?

Have no response so resort to personal insults. Not surprised.

I love how the word "idiot" has people clamouring for his qualifications. It takes more than a classics degree to make a leader.

Boris is a very intelligent man but that doesn't mean he isn't going to completely **** the country - he's set for life either way and probably sees it all as "a great bit of sport". I'm not even saying he WANTS to wreck the country... just that he'll be A) reckless and experimental and B) uncaring to those with the least, who will suffer first.

Exactly. Treats it like a sport like the idiot he is.

Not really. Languages are picked up easily by all children. He learned Latin and Greek at Eton.
And went there bc daddy could afford it. Nothing to do with intelligence Ollie

And then he applied the skills he learned, and got a degree. In Oxford.

And then became a hack. And got sacked twice for lying.

Spare me :sleep:

He's a person who's lost some jobs ... Who also happens to have a brilliant degree :)

Why are you trying to take that away from him, plenty of people i don't like are highly educated, who cares :shrug:

I love education. But also know its limitations. Education and intelligence are only loosely connected.

Why you trying to make out he is something he is not :shrug:

I love education

Is there anyone who doesn't?

They're loosely connected when it comes to rubbish like Gender Studies, but not heady stuff like Classics at Oxford.

I'm not trying to make make out he's anything, but to act like his degreeis meaningless is just churlish.

Idk. Ask every human on earth and find out :pat:

Why are you bleating on about his degree anyway?

It's not meaningless, it's a degree :shrug:
Nothing more and nothing less.

I have one and know from experience it means not a lot as an indicator of "intelligence"

Idgi why you're in awe of a degree. Some sort of snobism?

I have a degree too, and what separated the wheat from the chaffe wasn't intelligence but how we fared in the placements. So i agree with you there.

Some of my former colleagues studying medicine are now actual doctors treating people. That thought chills my blood, I can tell you.

Ha! Nearly everyone from my course who i didn't think should be near a classroom gradually disappeared over the years, and none ended up in my chosen speciality (SEN) so I'm not too worried.I

That said, I'm sure one thing we can agree on is how we appear when facing patients or pupils isn't exactly how we are in daily life, so they might be better than we think:)

Indeed; there are people I knew at University who are now doctors and it's just terrifying.

There's also a guy from my high school who now drives tanks and I... I just... I mean... ****.

All this mocking is because he has a great degree, and old Steptoe hasn't got one, even though he was sent to posh grammar schools. He was a university drop out, the lazy sod. You have to laugh. :laugh:
