Maxwell Martin said she expected #Labour government “to understand that #fining vulnerable parents is #cruel, #idiotic, & they don’t.
The actor said compassion was leaching out of #schools
There’s no point in banging on about #behaviour & behaviour tsars. You can’t #teach #children to behave better by making them feel shit. It doesn’t work
We need to meet their needs. We need to make them feel they have worth.”
When is a #bin not for #rubbish?
When you're in #StokeOnTrent.
What can be placed in an outside #bin?
Eg. If you took your #mail & #read it on a #parkbench whilst eating a #picnic #lunch is there anything you could put in the #public #litterbin? #Stoke-on-Trent #council are over complicating & #fining #responsible #people as #flytippers are hard to catch.

Not are, but can be. Fining agents generally have specific uses. Bentonite for example is mostly used to remove proteins from wines that can cause haze, especially in white wines. Many higher quality wines aren't fined at all. Often these will say "unfined and unfiltered" on the label.

I believe bentonite and activated charcoal cannot substitute for proteins because they bind to different things. Happily, there are vegetable-derived protein fining agents coming to market. #WineMaking #fining #vegan #wine
