SCHOOLS

1.CanSpeccy said about SCHOOLS:



"Lack of motivation must be a factor.



"When youth unemployment among black Americans is 50%, WTF use is a high school diploma...



"Best to start selling drugs right away and forget school altogether.



"The same sort of destructive thought processes must afflict many children in almost any Western society where work has been offshored and outsourced, to beef up corporate profits, which have rarely been higher.



"In the meantime, workforce skills are wasting away.



"What is the reward for the hard work necessary to obtain a good education? LOL



"They have plenty of good brains in India and China, so who's gonna rush to employ a math wiz. or programming geek who expects to earn a decent salary and who, in any case, is not permitted by law to work for less than than a minimum wage that a fresh graduate in India would die for."

Japan is no better



"Students’ academic ability is in free-fall, writes Okabe.



"Simple logical thinking is beyond them.



"Their vocabulary is childish, their grasp of mathematics feeble, their curiosity nowhere in evidence.



"The latter is doubly surprising, he points out, in view of the young generation’s easy familiarity with the Internet — but the Net apparently appeals to them more as a playground than as a research venue.

DISCIPLINE IN SCHOOLS

Website for this image

In the UK, on 7 April 2011, teachers at Darwen Vale High School, near Blackburn Lancashire, are to stage a walk-out.

The teachers are protesting at the lack of support they have received from the head teacher.

"They say pupils frequently challenge teachers to fights, push and shove them in the corridors and classrooms and are constantly swearing and insulting them." (Strike-hit school governor blames pupil anarchy... on wind and rain‎)

The teachers say that when they take the matters to the head teacher she often sides with the pupils instead of staff.

Americans are worried that their education system is no longer producing enough inventors like Thomas Edison. Thomas Edison invented the light bulb. "Nearly all his childhood learning took place at home."

So, how should schools be organised?

1. Give pupils a choice of schools.

This means there must be lots of small schools of different types.

All schools should be tiny.

The big schools should be broken up.

2. Give headmasters and teachers the right to exclude pupils who are disruptive.

3. Set up special schools that give intensive care (very expensive) to the disruptive children.

4. Set up top quality schools that cater for the less academic kids.

There are parents and children who want such schools - so long as they are well run, and do not become dumping grounds for the disruptive children.

5. Lower the school leaving age and shorten the school day.

This will mean children will learn more.

That is the paradox.

6. Sack the bureaucrats.

According to an article about UK schools in Scotland on Sunday, 9 September 2007, (Alexander attacks 'bloated' education authorities) one in every four pounds of education funding never makes it to schools.

Studies show that of the average £5,160 spent on a child's education annually, £1,700 is swallowed up by local government.

It is time to close down the "bloated" education authorities. Get rid of the government bureaucrats, both local and national. Sack the education chiefs. It is these folks who have helped to ruin British schools.

KIDS WHO DON'T KNOW THEIR OWN NAMES; 8 MILLION DEATHS

The military has murdered innocent people. In 1972, for example, 14 civilians were killed.



Where is this?



1. At the age of five, some children do not know their own name.



Some do not know how to open a book.



Some don't understand the word 'stop'.



Some cannot hold a crayon.



Some cannot dress themselves.



The children who are so neglected that at the age of five they do not even know their own name.

2. In 2006 it was reported that life expectancy in one area was 56, lower than in Bangladesh.

If you are born here, you can expect to die at 54.

3. 600 soldiers are on 24-hour standby.

Spies and special forces are to land in the east.



'on 24-hour standby' to intervene if crisis worsens



Happy Tripoli children

Happy Libyan children by CharlesFred.



SO, in the UK, some five-year-old children are so neglected that they do not even know their own name.



And in one part of the UK life expectancy has been measured as 54.



AND, the UK is planning to send some of its military thugs to Libya, to help wreck that country.



It might be better if Gaddafi was to come and rescue Britain.

1972 in the UK. Website for this image. "According to new research, Britain bears 'significant responsibility' since 1945 for the direct or indirect deaths of 8.6 million to 13.5 million people throughout the world from military interventions and at the hands of regimes strongly supported by Britain."



When Gaddafi took over in 1969, "over half of Libya’s ...population...lived in hovels, shacks and make-shift lean-to housing.



"Illiteracy, poverty and almost total lack of health-care or education was the lot of virtually the entire population.



"Since then, the situation has been reversed.



"All are housed and education is now free for all through the university level, a situation which compares favorably to the indebtedness forced on U.S. college students by the American Banking/Government extortion ring.



"Social services and medical attention were made available to the Libyans and the prosperity derived from petroleum and gas became a source of happiness and contentment for a people which had been forced to endure abject misery." - FOR GADDAFI, AGAINST IMPERIALISM



The British are to intervene in Libya?



The British military has a long history of acting like Nazis.

Baha Mousa



Private Stuart Mackenzie was in Iraq in 2003 ( Diary of a squaddie: Sunburn, sore feet and three more Ali Babas ... ) He was attached to the Queen's Lancashire Regiment which ran the detention centre in which Iraqi hotel worker Baha Mousa was held before dying from the 93 injuries he sustained.



Mackenzie kept a diary and extracts were produced at the court martial of the seven soldiers who were acquitted of abusing prisoners.



Mackenzie wrote:



Leg and a winged (threw) Ali Baba into Shat al Arab (canal) for stealing wood.

Piss funny....



On 4 hour patrol - ... found anti-aircraft gun ... Horse bit me.

Found 3 Ali Babas at WTP7.

Beat them up with sticks and filmed it - good day so far...



House raid, for hours, nothing found.

Caught 3 Ali Babas - beat fuck out of them in back of Saxon.

One had a punctured lung + broken ribs + fingers.

One had a dislocated shoulder + broken fingers...



The British military have a growing reputation for behaving like Nazis.



According to some historians, Britain bears “significant responsibility” since 1945 for the direct or indirect deaths of 8.6 million to 13.5 million people throughout the world from military interventions and at the hands of regimes strongly supported by Britain.

Harry Farr



During World War I, Britain executed 306 of its own soldiers, some as young as 14 years of age. (http://www.wsws.org/articles/1999/nov1999/shot-n16.shtml)



From an article by Harvey Thompson at WSWS 16 November 1999:



A typical case is that of Harry Farr, who joined the British Expeditionary Force in 1914 and fought in the trenches.



His position was repeatedly shelled, and in May 1915 he collapsed with strong convulsions.



In hospital, his wife Gertrude—who was denied a widow's pension after the war—recalled, “he shook all the time.



He couldn't stand the noise of the guns.



We got a letter from him, but it was in a stranger's handwriting.



He could write perfectly well, but couldn't hold the pen because his hand was shaking.”



It is now thought that Farr was possibly suffering from hypacusis, which occurs when the eardrums are so damaged that the auditory nerve becomes exposed, making loud noises physically unbearable.



Despite this, Farr was sent back to the front and fought at the Somme.



After several months of fighting, he requested to see a medical orderly but was refused.



In Farr's Court Martial papers, the Sergeant Major is quoted as saying “If you don't go up to the f*****g front, I'm going to f*****g blow your brains out” to which Farr simply replied “I just can't go on.”



The Court Martial was over in 20 minutes.



Harry Farr had to defend himself.



General Haig signed his death warrant and he was shot at dawn on October 16, 1916.



Prior to World War II, elements of the British military were fans of Hitler.



According to Admiral Sir Barry Domville, a pre-war head of UK Naval Intelligence, Hitler was "absolutely terrific."



Wing Commander Frederick Winterbottom, a pre-war head of MI6's air section, reportedly hoped Britain and Germany would unite against Stalin's Russia. (Hackitectura Advance - [History of M15)



Photo: British concentration camp.



Giles MacDonogh has written After the Reich: The Brutal History of the Allied Occupation. (A hellish peace)



According to MacDonogh's evidence, at the end of World War II, the British military and its allies went in for rape, torture and murder.



Ian Cobain, in The Guardian 17 December 2005 wrote about the secret torture centres set up by the British military after World War II - The interrogation camp that turned prisoners into living skeletons ...




One of the British torture centres was at Bad Nenndorf, near Hanover.



372 men and 44 women passed through the Bad Nenndorf torture centre during the 22 months it operated before its closure in July 1947.



A Scotland Yard detective, Inspector Tom Hayward, investigated Bad Nenndorf.



He describes how prisoners were systematically beaten and exposed to extreme cold; some were starved to death and, allegedly, tortured with instruments that his fellow countrymen had recovered from a Gestapo prison in Hamburg.



Many of the prisoners were simply German leftists.



Others were Germans living in the Russian zone who had crossed the line, offered to spy on the Russians, and were tortured to establish whether they were genuine defectors.



Published in The Guardian: archive pictures of German prisoners held by the British following the second world war. Photographs: Martin Argles. The postwar photographs that British authorities tried to keep ...



One of the men who was starved to death, Walter Bergmann, had offered to spy for the British, and fell under suspicion because he spoke Russian.



Another man who starved to death, Franz Osterreicher, had been arrested while attempting to enter the British zone in search of his gay lover.



Ingrid Groth, then a seven-year-old, said locals claimed that if you crept up to the barbed wire at night, you could hear the prisoners' screams.



The commanding officer was Robin "Tin Eye" Stephens of MI5.



The inmates were starved, woken during the night, and forced to walk up and down their cells from early morning until late at night. When moving about the prison they were expected to run, while soldiers kicked them.



Prisoners could be stripped and repeatedly doused in water. This punishment could continue for weeks, even in sub-zero temperatures.



Naked prisoners were handcuffed back-to-back and forced to stand before open windows in midwinter. Frostbite became common.



One victim of the cold cell punishment was Buttlar...an anti-Nazi, he had spent two years as a prisoner of the Gestapo.



"I never in all those two years had undergone such treatments," he said.


Reportedly, the British military also got into bed with the Nazis.



After the war, "British authorities called off the hunt for the man who organised the Nazi Holocaust just 17 months after the end of World War II, files have revealed.



"The files relating to Adolf Eichmann were released by The National Archives. They show that at the time the decision was made, Eichmann was hiding in the British-controlled zone of Germany.



"He went to Argentina in 1950." - Eichmann search was ended early



Horst Kopkow, one of Hitler’s top spies, who ordered the murders of more than 100 British secret agents in concentration camps, was spared execution as a war criminal and went to work for MI6. Evidence emerged in the 1980s that Britain had become a refuge for suspected war criminals. - http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-1611185,00.html



Historian Mark Curtis has written: 1. 'Unpeople: Britain’s Secret Human Rights Abuses' (2004) 2. 'Web of Deceit: Britain’s Real Role in the World' (2003) Published by Vintage.



Paul Cochrane, at Worldpress.org , 6 January 2005, (Unpeople, Dirty Wars and a Web of Deceit – Britain’s Foreign ...) reviewed Curtis's books.



He wrote:



According to new research, Britain bears “significant responsibility” since 1945 for the direct or indirect deaths of 8.6 million to 13.5 million people throughout the world from military interventions and at the hands of regimes strongly supported by Britain.



Curtis said he came up with the term “Unpeople” because he thought it adequately described the British government’s attitude towards people who are expendable in Britain’s pursuit of economic and political goals.



“Last year,” Curtis said in a phone interview, “there was a British army officer who was quoted in Iraq as saying the Americans view the Iraqis only as Untermenschen, the Nazi concept of subhuman. In a way, the British have no real different regard for Iraqis than Americans."



Mark Curtis says that in 1971 an official British investigation found that the British army's torture techniques "played an important part in counter-insurgency operations in Palestine, Malaya, Kenya, Cyprus and the British Cameroons (1960-1), Brunei (1963), British Guiana (1964), Aden (1964-7), Borneo/Malaysia (1965-6), the Persian Gulf (1970-1) and in Northern Ireland (1971)".



Kenyans under the British.



In KENYA, the British used beatings, sexual humiliation, hooding, sleep deprivation, and bombarding with white noise.



32 Whites were killed by the Mau Mau during the five-year state of emergency.

More whites died in traffic accidents in the capital city, Nairobi.



Kenyans were forced into concentration camps and routinely tortured.

Some 150,000 Africans died as a direct result of the British policy.



There was a "constant stream of reports of brutalities by police, military and home guards", wrote Canon Bewes, a British missionary.

"Some of the people had been using castration instruments and two men had died under castration."



Other brutalities included slicing off ears, boring holes in eardrums, flogging people to death, pouring paraffin over suspects and setting them alight and burning eardrums with cigarettes.



A British district officer admitted, "There was outright abuse of power and some of the crimes committed were horrific.

One day six Mau Mau suspects were brought into a police station in the neighbouring district to mine.

The British police inspector in charge lined them up against a wall and shot them."



A mobile gallows travelled the country.

Over 1,000 were hanged, their bodies displayed at crossroads and market places.

The British bombing Malaya.



MALAYSIA



The British used terror in Malaya.



This involved aerial bombing, massacres of villagers, dictatorial police measures and the "resettlement" of hundreds of thousands of people.

CYPRUS

During the state of emergency, from 1952 to 1957, the British army used torture.



Cypriot Nicos Koshies:



"They took me to the Special Branch and they started beating me.

"They took off all my clothes, they tied my hands and feet.

"They asked somebody to come in.

"He was taking a stick to put up my bottom, he was putting cloths in water and putting them on my face so I could not breathe, he threw me down and danced on my stomach when he was wearing boots.

"After 12 days I could not recognise myself."



James Callaghan in the House of Commons:



"On 29 June 1957 an inquest was held into the death of Nicos Georghiou.

"Dr Clearkin said in evidence that bruises in the head were sufficiently severe to have caused the injuries to the brain, perhaps bumping the head against a hard object."



IRAN



In 1953 a coup organised by the British and the USA overthrew Mossadeq and gave power to the Shah.



British SAS forces trained the Shah's Savak secret police.



SAS officers helped train the Iranian army in special operations against the Kurds.



The Shah's regime used torture until it was overthrown in 1979.



ADEN/SOUTH YEMEN



In Aden, later known as South Yemen, SAS squads used terror against local villages.



An official investigation found that from 1964 to 1967 detainees at a British interrogation centre were routinely tortured.

Their eardrums were burst.



Others were forced to lean against walls with their fingertips for day and subjected to white noise for hours.



BAHRAIN



Former detainees in Bahrain have described being beaten, electrocuted, whipped, tied in excruciating positions for days on end, kept awake, starved and having their toenails torn out.



NORTHERN IRELAND



The Compton official inquiry acknowledged that the army hooded suspects, fed them on just bread and water and blasted them with noise.



An Amnesty International report said, "It is because we regard the deliberate destruction of a man's ability to control his own mind with revulsion that we reserve a special place in our catalogue of moral crimes for techniques of thought control and brainwashing. Any interrogation procedure which has the purpose or effect of causing a malfunction or breakdown of a man's mental processes constitutes as grave an assault on the inherent dignity of the human person as more traditional techniques of physical torture."



A European human rights report found that British army techniques amounted to "inhuman and degrading treatment" causing "at least intense physical and mental suffering".

BRAINWASHED KIDS


The kids at the bottom end of society are pretty useless at resisting the brainwashing by the rich elite and the rich elite's corrupt friends in the media.

If the media churns out gangster films and music, little Wayne and little Stacey will soon be dressing and behaving like gangsters.

If the government promotes the idea that the poor are useless citizens, and have to accept third world conditions, little Wayne and little Stacey will likely accept this.

Little Wayne and little Stacey will attend schools where the teachers are not allowed to keep discipline; they will live on streets where the police appear to turn a blind eye to drugs and excessive consumption of alcohol.

The kids with good families, living is good neighbourhoods, are better able to resist the brainwashing.


The Diary of a despairing teacher tells us more about people like Wayne and Stacey.

Extracts from the blog To Miss With Love, by Katharine Birbalsingh:

The gambling den

So I ... find a bunch of boys half way down the stairs, sitting on chairs, gambling with paper money and cards. We are in the middle of lesson time...

I have no clout in this school. So I know I cannot inspire fear...

The boys look up at me, almost growling. As we approach, one of them puts his foot up on the chair, on top of the money, and blocks our way. I step over his leg. "Thank you boys!" I smile...

As we continue now on the other side, moving down the stairs, I call back up, grinning.

"Boys ... I'm sure you're not meant to be doing that right now! Better watch someone doesn't catch you!"

A stabbing in the playground

I watch Gangster, an older pupil, go into the head's office with his mum for a meeting, because on the last day of school in July he stabbed another boy in the playground with a knife.

Why?

The other boy pushed him.

But the madness does not stop there. Last academic year, three boys were "excluded" for stabbing a boy from another school. At the time, certain paperwork was not filled out. Oh well. So what? What does it matter if there's a missing piece of paper?

Oh well indeed. The consequence is that the powers that be can now force us to take these three back. Three gruesome, terrifying, influential boys who terrorise everyone around them are coming back to our school and there is nothing we can do about it.

Teenage mothers

Another teacher shows me a list of students as long as my arm and begins to talk about each kid.

One got stabbed in June, this one was stabbed in April, another one stabbed another one in May.

This girl had her head pushed through the glass window of a nearby house by another two girls who dragged her out of the playground. Once her head was through the window of what so happened to be the kitchen, she grabbed a knife on the counter, turned around and stabbed the two other girls.

The teacher sighs, continuing. This one is pregnant, this other one had a baby last month, this is the boy who fathered that particular baby, this other boy is freaked about being a father, this one's mother is a drug addict so no one is looking after the baby, this one is OK because her mother is able to look after the baby ... And on it goes.

When the teacher leaves, I look out the window and catch sight of the year 7s.

How is it possible that those children who just about believe in the Tooth Fairy in three years' time will be packing knives and getting girls pregnant? What kind of a world have we created for these children?

Getting through to the hoodies

After school I go chasing after a boy who has walked out of his detention in an effort to persuade him to come back. He doesn't...

The disaffected girl

Miserable is in detention and is angry...

I start to explain that she is a sophisticated young lady, that even when angry, she should try to hold onto a sense of grace and posture. She rolls her eyes and acts as if she isn't listening to me...

Miserable draws her eyes together. "YEAH? Well you don't know nuffin' about me! You don't know what I've been through! You don't know what my life's like!"

I wince. "True. I don't know anything about you. But however hard your life has been, I don't see why that would force you to be negative."

Miserable makes a face at me, kissing her teeth. "Yeah, well I like being negative. That's what I'm like. I like it. I'm NEGATIVE. I have a right to be negative. I've had a hard life."

~~

"The weakening of the family unit has been a big part of the plans to weaken our society as a whole.

"As the family is broken down, it allows the government to slip in and fill roles that traditionally had been filled by family or close neighbors.

"Now we don't even know our neighbors, the family unit has broken down, and instead of banding together for or against something as people once did not so long ago, we are allowing this creeping quasi-fascist globalist outlook to change our laws and our communities, because our basic cohesive unit, the family, has been made ineffective and somehow old fashioned."

CHAOS IN UK SCHOOLS

Birbalsingh

In the UK, Katharine Birbalsingh, is a top schoolteacher.

She is the daughter of immigrant parents from the Caribbean.

She has recently said that bad behaviour and lack of discipline in UK schools is stopping teachers from getting on with teaching. (Deputy head who dared attack the State school system is sent home)

Birbalsingh, who teaches French, wrote about her experiences anonymously – in a blog that will be turned into a book, To Miss with Love.

She said (head wants to axe bad teachers and drive out the unions):

‘In schools and in society, we need high expectations, of everyone, even if you’re black, or live on a council estate...

‘We need to instil competition amongst the kids and help build their motivation by ensuring they’re not given everything and that they are held to account for what they do.

‘We have a situation where standards have been so dumbed down that even the children know it.

‘When I give them past exam papers to do from 1998, they groan and beg for a 2005 or 6 paper, because they know it’ll be easier.’

‘Exclusion quotas bind our headteachers, league tables have all of us pursuing targets and grades. Instead of teaching properly ... the ordinary child … is lost in a sea of bureaucracy handed down from the well meaning.’

Ranking children by ability was viewed as poisonous by teachers, she said, which meant that pupils ‘live in darkness, without any idea of how they compare to those around them, let alone to those who are educated in the private sector’.

She added: ‘Black underachievement is due in part to the chaos of our classrooms, and in part, to the accusation of racism.

‘If you keep telling teachers that they’re racist for trying to discipline black boys, and if you keep telling heads that they’re racist for trying to exclude black boys, in the end, the schools stop reprimanding these children.

‘Black children underachieve because of what the well-meaning liberal does to him.’

Miss Birbalsingh said the biggest problem in the system was the destruction of behavioural and academic standards.

‘I don’t think ordinary parents have any idea about what goes on in their schools. But it is totally and utterly chaotic. Teachers spend most of their time telling children to sit down or stop disrupting the class rather than teaching.’

Miss Birbalsingh said there was a conspiracy of silence in staffrooms because teachers were too afraid of being branded as failures if they admitted how bad the true picture was.

‘League tables tell you nothing about how good a school really is, just how good the school is at playing the system and picking the easier exams,’ she said.

‘I’d like to see bad teachers getting fired and heads given the powers to discipline children.’

KIDS AND NARCOTICS AND VIOLENCE

Glasgow Boys by Patrick Mackie

On 6 September 2010, we read that in one class in a UK school:

21 out of 24 kids were found to have families with big social problems, including drugs dependency, alcoholism and serious violence.

Revealed: Stark reality of frontline teaching.

According to The Herald: A new report by Glasgow City Council refers to a 'horrendous catalogue of social issues ... in schools serving large swathes of the city plagued by poverty.'

Glasgow means: the UK Labour Party (the party of Tony Blair), drugs barons, and poverty.

The churchgoing teenager who went to a private school. (dailymail.co.uk/z) - see below

According to the Glasgow report: some of kids were coping with the recent deaths of close relatives through drug abuse; four had parents with drug or alcohol addictions; some had been exposed to domestic violence; one child's mother had recently attempted suicide; one kid had moved out of the family home after being assaulted by her mother; another was suffering nightmares after being attacked by his brother.

Most of class had difficulties with reading and writing.

glasgowfamilyalbum.com/photo/4467294333/

Aangirfan was once introduced to a group of young teenagers in a certain large, chaotic Glasgow school.

All the children were white and 'Christian'.

We remember:

Robert, some of whose family had been in court on a murder charge.

Robert could not sit still; he rocked back and forward in his seat.

Robert could barely write his name.

We felt that Robert should have been getting intensive care in some sort of mental institution.

John, who was, a few months later, to get an 8 year jail sentence for killing another boy.

John had a certain innocent charm, but he spent his leisure time with gangs who carried knives and got drunk.

We felt that John, from an early age, should have been getting intensive care in some sort of small friendly school.

And, he should have been given a mentor who would have got him involved with playing football in the evenings.

Thomas A, who had been a house burglar since the age of 8.

He was due to return to court within weeks.

We felt that Thomas needed to be in a small school, and he needed a mentor.

Glasgow by :DavidMcKenzie

Danny, who was soon to get a long sentence for stabbing to death another kid.

Danny had a certain charisma, but he looked as if he was high on drugs and drink.

We felt that Danny should have been in some sort of small friendly boarding school, far away from drugs gangs.

Peter, a small thin boy, who had recently been thrown down some school stairs by the bullies.

Peter needed to be in a small friendly school.

Charles, a round shaped boy, who was also subjected to constant bullying.

Charles should have been in a small friendly school.

Andrew, a small thin boy, who was soon to be locked up after raping a small girl.

Andrew should have been in a small friendly boarding school.

Thomas B, who was one of the few well behaved kids. He could barely read.

Thomas later joined the army and, the last time he was seen, he was thoroughly drunk and noisy on a train travelling south.

Thomas should have been in a small friendly school.

Glasgow Harbour by Thomas Nugent

Sorting out the problems of Glasgow would involve the following:

Booting out the Labour party.

Closing down the Glasgow Education Department which runs the schools.

Providing deprived kids with intensive care in small classes in small independently run schools.

Breaking up the large schools and the large housing estates and large tower blocks.

Providing all deprived kids, and their families, with mentors.

Kicking out all the corrupt police, and getting masses of honest police onto foot patrols at night.

Legalising drugs.

And, most important, changing the culture of the country.

Certain countries, such as Denmark, Switzerland and Singapore, have fewer problems than Britain.

Glasgow need to copy those countries.

Jennifer Thompson, a churchgoing, private school girl.

The sleazy culture of the UK needs to change.

Jennifer Thompson was a churchgoing teenager who attended a private school.

"Now, at the age of 21, she advertises herself as 'Juicy Jeni', the £1,200-a-time hooker whose charms Wayne Rooney apparently found so irresistible" (dailymail.N)

Jennifer Thompson was born in Aberdeen.

She attended a Catholic secondary, Thornleigh Salesian College and then the Lord's Independent School.

According to 'friends', by 15, Jennifer was a 'wild child', constantly out on the town getting drunk. (Jennifer Thompson.)

Jennifer's father worked abroad and was rarely at home.

Jennifer became "a party animal and was regularly in hospital getting her stomach pumped after drinking too much."

Reportedly, she was introduced to drugs at the age of 16.

"By her final year at school, Jennifer was a fully fledged prostitute."

She was best friends with Amy Leigh Barnes.

Amy became a model and Hollyoaks actress before she was murdered at the age of 19.

Jennifer's parents Hamish and Danuta, who are on holiday in Portugal, are said to have disowned her. (What turned Jennifer Thompson into Wayne Rooney's £1200-a-night ...)

Jennifer Thompson 'an upmarket version of Kate Middleton'.
