The Conservative Party

[Blue and true]

this is why they FEAR the young

They needn't worry. That firebrand (pun intended) and his like will be staunchly conservative in years to come.

The Socialist Ginger Boris! (could definitely help with the bit of the population who feel happier being led by people who sound more educated than them).

Thousands of students have marched through London to protest against the rising costs of university and further education.

Global climate strike: Greta Thunberg and school students lead climate crisis protest – as it happened

Millions of people from Sydney to Manila, Dhaka to London and New York are marching for urgent action on climate breakdown

Journalism has taken a hit with standards like teaching apparently.

If there's a grammatical hole, you're in it.

In both headlines, "students" is part of the subject.

The students march for freedom. The students' march is for freedom. The student's march is for freedom (if there's only one student).

Next: "between you and I...."

By the look of it, it's a debating society event, where the debaters are simply given a side and asked to make a case.

He probably already is a Tory.

Wasn't there something in the FT a while back suggesting that there is a cohort effect for Millennials that means this might not hold true going forward? The post war social contract that has traditionally underpinned this particular truism has now gone down the crapper so I don't think conservatives can take this historical trend for granted.

Like how Liar Johnson decided which side to be on for the referendum.

I was being sarcastic.

What the fuck are you yapping about? The use of the word "Students" in my sentence was plural as were the headlines I posted.

I admire your persistence Vic but I refuse to be lectured by a poster who has the IQ of a Cat fart.

More than likely. But he's decidedly left of the spectrum on the issue of privatisation.

It wasn't needed, read it again and remember this is a sentence wrote on a message board.

Makes you wonder how you speak to your students the way you go on.

100% it is needed. The desire belongs to the students, ergo, possessive apostrophe is required.
