мне щас очень лень искать имена депутатов, которые высказали сии гениальные мысли, потому будут просто цитаты без указания авторства, простите xDDD все честно надерганы из обсуждения билля об образовании в 1944 году. гениальные, правда.

A schoolmaster friend of mine explained to me that if it was too academic, my speech would undoubtedly be set by the schools as a subject for prize essays. Therefore, I will come down to the Bill at once and be as practical as I can.© министр образования р.а. батлер

Facinating as children are, they are extremely tiring.

But we have all been educated ourselves – at least I hope so...

totalitarian State which has been in fashion lately <---- это мне тут дебаты про администрацию вспомнились))))

We certainly need such excellent training colleges as that, for example, at Lincoln. <= the speaker is from Lincoln

I am reminded that we really had got to a pretty low ebb for a Christian country when I recollect that "The Times" in a leading article in February, 1940, said that of 31 evacuated children, of the average age of 12 who were asked who was born on the first Christmas day, 19 did not know. What a disgrace.

Mr. Stokes: They all have large families and the State says it wants children.
Viscountess Astor: The Pope says that the State wants children.
Mr. Stokes: It has nothing to do with the Pope. The noble Lady has the Pope on her brain.

Mr. George Griffiths (Hemsworth): This is very interesting, after the Question that was asked about Baptists. Would my hon. Friend also apply this principle where there is a good big Communist interest and they want a school?
Mr. Stokes: I did not understand that Communism was a religion.

Under this scheme the Cowper-Temple Clause is as dead as the Dodo. <---- НИКИ, ВОТ ОНО!! XDDD

It is such a great change to read a Bill which is pleasant to read and easy to understand.

But presently there will be no more Hitler. Even now, there is hardly enough Hitler to go round.

If my hon. Friend has any doubt perhaps he will see me after the Debate and we will try to resolve it. <--- "выйдем поговорим?"

To meet a scientist who really could express himself clearly and well in plain English was an extremely rare thing.

My hon. Friend the Member for Ipswich (Mr. Stokes), as usual, trotted out every hobby horse he has got. We heard about banks and the way some people can lend you money although I, personally, have never found that a very satisfactory way of borrowing money. We also heard about the cost of land and all the rest of it. [An HON. MEMBER: "And tanks."] Well, you can hardly call a tank a hobby horse.
