This is the result so far in the Telegraph poll.
Do you think schools should teach 11-year-old children when it is appropriate to swear?
No, they should not be exposed to such language in the classroom - these words should not appear normal 61.6% (2,039 votes)
Yes, they need to understand what these words mean and when they should be used 38.4% (1,271 votes)
Total Votes: 3,310

AOG.
That is a poll in a right wing conservative newspaper which has a high per centage of elderly readers. It is not representive of what the nation as a whole thinks. If you were to ask the same poll question in the Guardian, you would get completely the opposite result. That is not representative either.

"They say that one has lost the argument, when one retorts to swearing."
Well, yes. But in some contexts outside of arguing - swearing is perfectly acceptable and is a normal part of adult life. There's no reason not to prepare children for it.
"This is the result so far in the Telegraph poll. "
Doesn't surprise me. I don't think it means much for the argument at hand either - I never claimed that the policy was popular. But I do think it's unpopular for very bad reasons. The majority is not always right.

"to a degree i do have a problem with it, depends on what they are doing and why and where. "
Why? It's what they want to do, and how they want to contribute to the world. There's also the issue of how best suited people feel to the particular difficulties at hand - nobody would deny that there are serious problems in the UK, or that there are people that need help. But in terms of how those problems are solved, people might not feel that their efforts are best suited to those solutions and would rather go somewhere where it will make the most difference.
Plus what you're saying only really works if you assume that they ought to consider their own nation more important than others. Personally, I don't see any reason why people are obliged to feel that way. I don't see why people should even feel obliged to identify themselves based on their nationality if they don't want to.

If only Ted Heath had gone off and done something useful rather than be a pain in the backside of the Thatcher Government.
Brown did his best for Education during the 13 years he was in power. He rebuilt thousands of schools (under dodgy pfi arrangements, but that is another story). In 1997 the Labour Government inherited delapidated, crumbling, not fit for purpose schools and Brown helped to change that.

The very same. Unfortunately, the hospitals and schools had been neglected for nearly two decades and were falling down. PFI offered a quick fix but many warned it was a bad deal in the long run.
And NHS Trusts vary enormously. Well managed ones seem to be having no problem paying their PFI commitments, while others are going bankrupt.

This is just a bizarre OP.
Are you suggesting that people can only focus on one issue at a time, to the exclusion of everything else?
Brown has had a long held interest in education for the third world. I see no problem at all with him allocating some of his time to such a role, and I see no reason at all for your initial post- its just, well, nonsense, frankly.

Maybe not literally, but they were in a very poor state. There had been little investment in infrastructure for 18 years.
