TBM ....have teacher friends and know how hard it can be ...... controversial, but I sometimes wonder if, with many in the public services being Labour/Union ....and so many (especially the younger ones) these days seemingly unable to rein in their personal political bias/opinion ... whether media outlets can always find an angry young teacher or junior doctor they can portray as representing the whole profession for a good paper-selling headline to bash the Govt with? ..... guess the days of public servants being expressly prohibited from personal pronouncements to the press are long gone .

I think it's the same with most of our issues - they like to find soundbites that will stir up a bit of controversy - I bet there were hundreds of teachers calling in saying they were happy to do their bit, but they chose the more 'interesting' ones to put on air.
We saw the same with Brexit - again I'm sure there may have been some intelligent people wanting to leave, but they'd only interview some toothless gammon who hated brown people.....
