Politics awareness day
The Rainham School for Girls will play host to a politics awareness day this Friday for Year 13 students. Mumblings of discontent have already been heard amongst students, not looking forward to anything which involves the word “politics”.
Students from nearby Rainham Mark Grammar School and The Howard School will also attend the question and answer session and debate, at which representatives from Medway’s two main parties, and the Liberal Democrats, will attend.
Labour MP Paul Clark will be defending his wafer-thin majority in front of people who, at the time of the next election, may or may not be old eligible to vote in Gillingham and Rainham. The Liberal Candidate Andy Stamp will be fighting the anti-non-renewable energy position.
Brigita Amey, the Chairman of the Gillingham and Rainham Conservatives Association, will be challenging the government’s position on the chosen debate topic: the Kingsnorth Power Station. Students will also be invited to ask pre-submitted questions.
Suffice to say yours truly will be there, and will be asking a question, so be prepared for an article on the exciting day to appear in the afternoon.

This sounds very interesting! Pity I wasn’t invited (though hardly surprising, of course), but I hope it is recorded somehow, or at least reported upon here.
In the other direction, my ward colleagues have expressed an interest in inviting you along to one of our ward meetings, if you’re interested. This is where the three of us get together to review where we are in our ward, discuss issues we are currently handling and anything else that might need to be dealt with. We meet at one or other of our houses.
I just thought I should warn you: it is clear that you are making a positive impact upon not just me(!)
It should be an interesting day, and as I said, I shall be reporting on it on here.
As for the other matter, it is certainly an interesting offer, and one I would certainly be interested in taking up…
It will be awful. It will be dull, irrelevant and probably littered with mistakes (bit like this site!!! Hahaah
)
I think that’s a bit harsh, Rob, tomorrow won’t be that bad
We’ll have to wait and see. Still, it’s a good reason to get angry at Greenpeace peoples or other “any building will destory the world” type people.
I’m with Rob: anything that will “des-Tory” the world has to be fought with every weapon at the Conservatives’ disposal!
Oh, by the way:
I find that the use of censorship in a question session does not promote freedom of speech and shows how authoritative and conformist staff are towards students. Questions that some students may want to ask are being removed from the listings to help the politicians from difficult situations and make the schools look good. This goes agaisnt the promotion of freedom of speech, of which this government and country has signed up to do.
I have to correct you there, Sam. This government has not signed up to promote freedom of speech. It is, in fact, trying to limit the personal freedoms we as individuals are entitled to enjoy as per the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
It is unfortunate that Reh will not be at the politics day today. However I am sure he is learning a lot from being a special observer to the US presidential primaries in Kansas and Missouri this week.

Nice one John! Hahaha
Actually, it wasn’t as abd as I thought it would be. I noticed you enjoyed yourself.
I enjoyed merking the Greenpeace man (“You say it took 17 years to build a Nuclear PS from the beginning of the enquiry to the opening. Surely if you stopped moaning that would be far quicker?”) and the racist UKIP bloke made me luagh with his reference to “them”.
Better than Physics, at any road.
