Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Life Wirral School - Post Panorama Airing (www.lifewirral.com)

Im watching the Panorama airing, decided to check out what this scumbag school had to say for themselves. Their statement is infuriating

An undercover investigator failed in her basic safeguarding duties to report significant concerns and had she have done so on day one there would be no television programme

You have ran this school for years, what the fuck

As a team of highly respected education specialists we see no justification whatsoever allowing such incidents to continue; the safeguarding of the children should have come first rather than a television show

YOU ONLY CARE BECAUSE IT WAS ON A TV SHOW

had it been reported like you say, it would have been brushed under the rug

Shut this school down. Jail these cunts.

And if the school hadn't been run like this for years and it being known it was like this for years there wouldn't have been a TV programme to make. I think you'd have to be pretty gullible to believe their statement.

“BBC Panorama should have told us immediately and not made it public because now it’s really embarrassing for us and it’s going to cost us money, er I mean it will be detrimental to the children; yes that’s it, won’t somebody think of the children? Basically their fault and not ours.

Oh and this was all just a big test, which you failed. Again, definitely not our fault.”
