Parent contacted me today impressed by kindness of our Y6 pupils, playing after school. A 5yo girl was playing with them and when the parent suggested she gave the older children some space, one by one, the Year 6 girls dropped to their knees, saying: "But I'm her size!" #kind
yes, i'll clarify: you're projecting your obsessions onto the UK public. it's a thing people often do as an instinctive response when they hear a politician say more or less everything they think needs to be said. we've all seen your tweets over the years x.com/damcou/status/…
Here's another one who sees the words "would hugely outperform Starmer in a General Election campaign" and responds with: "Let me project my obsessions onto you and call them your obsessions." x.com/thetyronwilson…
