Teachers need protecting from violence with attacks on rise by children
The Scottish Government's annual crime survey showed 31 per cent of violent crimes are carried by under-16s. No one deserves to be assaulted at their place of work. But for teachers, it's becoming a daily concern in some schools. At a time when violence in society is in long-term decline, one-in-three violent offences in Scotland is now committed by children – with attacks on teachers blamed for the massive rise. A quarter of all violent offences are carried out by children against adults in their place of work – with teacher assaults understood to be the majority of these incidents. It can't be repeated too many times that the majority of pupils are hard-working, polite and want to enjoy their time at school. But there remains a minority who seem to revel in the fact that discipline in some classrooms – such as the threat of exclusion – has been removed almost entirely. Many parents will be left scratching their heads over a policy which allows regular troublemakers to avoid consequences. For many years, well-meaning government ministers and local council education chiefs were tied to the mantra of 'inclusiveness'. This misguided policy made it almost impossible to exclude the worst-behaved children. On paper this might have sounded like a good idea. But in the real world it gave a free pass for bad behaviour. It is teachers and well-behaved pupils who are left to deal with the inevitable breakdown in school discipline. If some pupils are repeatedly violent, they must be removed from the classroom for the benefit of others. Classrooms can't be run for the benefit of the worst behaved. Teachers and parents understand. So why doesn't the government? Poverty gamble Gordon Brown's record as chancellor in cutting poverty was second to none. Children and pensioner incomes were boosted and lives were transformed under the last Labour government. But much of that good work was undone by heartless Tory administrations from 2010 onwards. More than 4.5million children are living in poverty in the UK and the numbers are projected to go up. Keir Starmer wants to cut child poverty but he is hamstrung by a lack of money.

Brown's suggestion today that the Government take kids out of poverty by tackling the obscene profits of the gambling industry is positive. Many people like a flutter but gambling firm profits are also based on misery. Oil and gas firms pay a super tax in recognition of the damage done by their industry. Taxing gambling firms more to scrap the two child tax is a cause everyone should back.

Scot loses both legs after motorbike 'hit and run' crash in Thailand
A Scottish man has had both his legs amputated after being involved in a 'hit and run' with a lorry in Thailand. Willie Braid was riding his motorbike when he was involved in the 'catastrophic' crash in Bangkok on Sunday, July 27. The 54-year-old, from Angus, was taken to hospital while the driver of the other vehicle involved allegedly fled the scene. His sister, June, flew to Thailand to be by his bedside. She was told by nurses upon her arrival that her brother wouldn't 'survive the night'. 'The initial shock of hearing about it was big enough', she told STV News. 'But seeing the injuries up close was devastating. 'We heard he was going to be amputated but didn't realise it would be above the knee. It was shocking. 'The nurse initially said that he would not survive the first night of the accident. 'They are shocked at how strong he is.' June Braid via Supplied June has flown to Bangkok to be at her brother's bedside. June Braid via Supplied Due to the severity of his injuries, Willie was placed in an induced coma. After suffering kidney failure, both his legs were amputated below the knee. June confirmed that he has since woken up, but doesn't know where he is or anything about the accident. 'He has no idea he's in hospital or what has happened', she added. 'He doesn't know yet that his legs have been amputated. 'I don't know how anybody deals with that. He's going to need 24/7 care. 'He's been in Thailand for five years, but just moved to Bangkok last month. So it's just so unfortunate. 'We are praying for the best, and hoping every day to see some improvements.' More than £4,000 has been raised since a collection to help pay for his rehabilitation and medical bills was launched by June. The UK Foreign Office and authorities in Thailand have been contacted for comment.
