Now, more than ever…
Grammar Schools. You’ve heard it all before. Policy and evidence – passing like ships in the night. I can’t quite figure out whether the UK government are actually serious, or it’s simply just a commotion smokescreen… This bottom line vision came from a thinkery conversation I had a while back with Graham Brown-Martin.

Any questions?
I’d never really thought about it before, but at school I never asked any questions – I didn’t want to expose the fact I didn’t know something…

Wot we need is more grammar schools
With all the backward-ness around the teaching of grammar at primary school (talk to any primary school teacher, and you’ll see what I mean), and the announcement by the UK Prime Minister that we need more Grammar schools, I had to create this.

All lies and jest…
In order to be a leader, you need to acquire a following. In order to acquire a common following, you need a common enemy. These people have made the EU the common enemy. But the EU can’t be the enemy – as we are part of the EU, and therefore it is what we are…

The trio of entitled tossers
Much to my disappointment, it looks like this book is set to be written after all.
Er… hello?
This is a blog of openly licensed thinkery. They are doodles, thoughts and ideas of Bryan Mathers – little curious tidbits which have emerged from juicy conversations. Also, this is a dumping ground for abandoned artwork. But one man’s dump is another’s treasure trove – amirite?
