Is this the Blandest and most Non-Imaginative man in Milton Keynes?

I have had a good chuckle today (I will latter whip myself for penance) Reading the Guardian Articles by David Cameron on Progressive Conservatism – I thought at the very least he was a political researcher and might have some gravity on the ‘policy thing’, well I am comforted to find that ‘Progressive Conservatism’ has about as much whack as…

Yes plenty of sound bites in Mr Cameron’s speech; looks like we can expect ‘Massive Redistributions of Power’ as politicians and Whitehall officials are going to be whipped into place for the honest British public; And I thought he wanted to be elected into Government, but he might be running for editor chief at the Tory Telegraph? Hmm, I wonder if Mr Cameron has been watching the re-runs of ‘Yes Minister’ on TV Gold, because he sounds like Jim Hacker at the Ministry of Administrative Affairs, bloated and farcical.

And yes, we can also expect the ‘End of the State Monopoly on Education’ Ohh Goody Goody Gum drops! Obviously it is the mad neurotic parents obsessed with league tables who have a clear understanding on the issues involved in education and ergo should be making all of the important decisions, not some pragmatic and objective local government educationalist who might have both knowledge and many years of experience in these matters – am I going mad? Surely it is reasonable to any sane person (i.e. not parents obsessed with school league Tables)

Most parents actually don’t have a clue about education! In fact, Local Government should educating Parents how to be Parents; because Half of all cohabiting and married different sex couples (only have kids) because the other half of all cohabiting and married different sex couples are having kids! And they don’t want to feel missed out (its pathetic! and I do feel really sorry for kids today... how do they deal with parenting egos?) – well at least in the Victorian days…they sent them out to work ;)

Then (he) goes on to say… ‘ Any parent who isn't happy with the education their child is receiving can send their child to a new school ‘ – So Pushy Parents can knock their kids piller to post whilst they dabble with their fancy about what constitutes education? Excuse me, has anyone stopped to think how the kids might feel before they are ripped from their friends and peers and displaced into “any suitably qualified organization” what? like a Ronald McDonalds School Mr Cameron?

Viva La Reviotion!! Dark days ahead...

Back to the Planet Blog!

Reader! Has it really been a year since our last love affair? I have Given Paul of Medway a new Face and colour coordinated shoes to dance; I hope the appearance is pleasant to the eye and the dialog tuneful to the mind.

I Have been a studious law student for the last 12 months, hacking away in the library and clocking in the 12 hour Night shifts at the local District General Hospital – Alas, absolutely no time for living and certainly no time for Bloging either. But as my days grow lighter and my academic study becomes shorter, I now find that I may have some extra time on my hands…

Instead of doing something really usefull and positive like reinvigortae my twice dead social life or start up a sanctuary for poorly hedgehogs with tunnel vision and vertigo – I thought I would coil up back into my warm hole of a Blog, and then vent some merry spleen onto the crule world, in which we are all born... violently, bloody and clueless.

Paul of Medway also has a new agenda, it looks like the UK might be (done in) for a real Tory Government (the last decade of Neo Labour has been a mere warm up) the gates of Mordor are finally about to open – all good creatures must take up arms against the dark towers of Notting Hill – lets Do some Class War!

A few good bargains were struck to get Neo Labour into power – one of which was the minimum wage; Arch Tories have not so easily forgotten that bitter blow! And the subsequent unfruitful lies about UK plc becoming dysfunctional have not come about since a red line was drawn under exploitation. But the chess pieces have now began to start moving on the board again…

The introduction of the Employment Opportunities Bill by Tory Christopher Chopes reveals the draconian wheels that will always turn in the Tory party mindset – this vile legislation would seek to undermine the minimum wage under the guise of some liberal pretence about offering flexibility and choice to employers during the economic down turn! The Private members bill was defeated on the second reading on the 17th of May, but it is still disheartening that the legislation even got this close to the statute book. The ball will start rolling again, this was only the first round.

I still remember the early 1990s, leaving school with worthless qualifications and entering into a melted down industrial employment market, to work for money grabbing agencies in factories and warehouses, earning below £3.00 per hour! Go on Tories, pass your crappy legislation and polarize this generation, in the next ten years when we have you on your knees again, it will be the guillotine for the old relics of the Twentieth Century.
