Do we actually have details about that whole meeting?
Only from 3rd parties that were around at the time.
Did they get drunk together? I think that Roosevelt was there as well?
So the story goes. The drinking night was a one on one between the two. Roosevelt had turned in for the night.
On another thread a member pointed out that Mr Corbyn had shown wild anti-Semitism by calling some Jews detached from Brit society and unable to understand how Brits use irony. I forget the exact context of all that. But of course our education authorities have been having some difficulties with various religious schools including some Jewish ones for failing to keep to the UK standard curriculum and lesson plan, and even ducking under the educational watchdog's radar in order to do so.
Seems like an odd comment to make if true. It is humour after all.
I heard/read about that problem in schools. Just remove accreditation.
As a result we are tightening up on any educational loose canons at this time, and now require all children who are educated out of the standard school system to be registered, presumably so that they can be visited and monitored. This will include 'learn at home' children.
That is standard here. Homeschooling still follow lessons modular plans and programs provided by the government. Typical a module covers a semester. Grading and tests are handled by the school district.
As one hears about such schools and methods, one can see how many children from certain religious or 'other culture' background have been left unsocialised and estranged from Brit society. Maybe that is exactly what Mr Corbyn was referring to?
I have no idea as the quote is unknown to me outside this thread. I am not too familiar with current UK politics. However taking it at face value it seems like an odd remark as it is targeted while ignoring the elephant in the room.
