the extra money for schools, promised and much hyped by the government, has failed to materialise and heads are now having to cut their spending on essentials like books, computers, teachers, things like that, but they still have to implement hugely costly and pointless testing of the kiddies' abilities.



surprise, fucking surprise.



typically, rather than accept that there's anything wrong and fucking do something about it, the clown who runs education these days, some witless bastard called charles clarke, accuses his critics of 'antics' and insists there's nothing wrong.



blair needs to sack the bastard now, because he's making the government look even more stupid than they looked before.



when will we have a popular uprising and get rid of these fucking useless, self-serving, lying bastards?



update clarke has now 'hinted' he may give schools more money to stop then going into debt.



what bollocks.



if he'd given the schools the money his predecessor said they'd be getting, they wouldn't be going into debt because they'd be able to budget properly based on the money they were promised. shifting the blame onto the local authorities does nothing to cover-up his department's appalling lying in this case and does nothing to dignify his arguments.



he should either give them more money or not - not 'hint' that he might. we all know that politicians' 'hints' are a way of making themselves look good to the hard-of-thinking when we know that the reality is that they intend to do absolutely fuck-all.



the man's a dishonest little cunt who should be sacked immediately.
