I think he means teachers are demonstrating the sexual arts to primary school pupils using bananas and nutella, rather than actually performing it in front of them. Not sure what they use for the ring piece, maybe a pineapple slice?

Since when did the guidance go out to teachers about switching from practical to figurative demonstrations?

Bloody SNP ruining education and turning all our kids into bumbling sexual incompetents :angry:

**Policy Interlude**

A policy I'd like to see implemented is for younger folk to be more fairly treated by the minimum wage - by one or other of the governments topping up the mandatory minimum wage that employers must pay them, to the full 25s-and-over minimum wage amount.

I can see why they allow employers to pay young folk less, because otherwise firms may not take on inexperienced staff and we don't want a wasted generation of unemployed youngsters, but young workers are adults and do face many of the same costs as the rest of us.

Since the living/minimum wage is government policy, it is their responsibility to ensure that it is applied to people fairly.

(Could be a good starter policy for the Lib Dems and Sir Ed.)

I know it was mentioned, but the continued breakdown of Andrew Neil is some viewing. Guy has been blasted on the Glenlivet and rage tweeting for about 2 weeks straight now. 

Also, despite having a Swedish wife he had no clue that Sweden didn't use the Euro.

Do contributors to the Eye's letters page still find the feeblest of excuses to prompt them to print that photo of Andrew Neil that he tried to block?

Yes, I need to just get back to buying it myself, I know.

So, let's see if I've got this right. At a point in time when it is becoming widely accepted that homeworking is going to form part of future working patterns, Douglas Ross's big idea for the Scottish economy is the tired old mantra of massive investment in transport. Not content with the massively expensive punt that is HS2, the Tories still seem to think that big ticket road and rail projects in themselves bring sustainable jobs when the evidence is flimsy at best. Still, I suppose he had to announce something.

The big Pret must stay open.
