"Keir Starmer has brought in absolutely diamond quality people."

We have to acknowledge something our Grandparents understood, but we've forgotten, and that is passing examinations doesn't prepare our young people for life or employment. Dexterity and Visual Thinking are essential for engineering and technology, but we do not promote these talents. We are obsessed with algebra, and the simple truth is that most of the professions we have do not need it. Instead, we need to focus our visual thinking minds on gaining skills and experience and then reward them adequately, and we will make more Alan Turings and Sir Clive Sinclair's again, this is a fact not lost on our competitors in Germany and the Netherlands.

[@Erny_Module]

I'm sorry to have to point this out, but the reason people like Turing and Sinclair were successful and could gain insight into complex problems was because of their understanding of algebra. What on earth do you think the modern world is based on? It's not wood carving and interpretive dance! It's maths, physics, and cold, hard science. Take a look at the equipment and systems you're using to see and respond to this - what do you think underpins it? How did it get here? Who understands how it works?
