Where now

   I have just been for a run and was horrified to see a school open. I think the unions should do a name and shame list. All those schools that have kept open, the school was Angel Road Primary, probably technically junior & infants, but let us not be pedantic. Yoy can tell it is a really up to date school, I just checked their website and this is the opening announcement
"Please note school is closed to pupils on Thursday 30th June & Friday 1st July 2011 for Professional Development days"


  Don't the people who run these schools realise that they are just playing into the hands of the Tories. It has always been quite simple, the Tories are about keeping the rich rich and if possible richer. What happens to everyone else is irrelevant, if they get poorer why worry. The serious question is why they persuade so many people to vote for them. It has seemed to me that they are either stupid or greedy. Stupid is clear but greedy, well they think they will become rich if the Tories are in power.

  We see them operating in this way, they have just given Mr Branson £400 million pounds. He really needs it. What will happen to that money, it will end up salted away in Mr Branson's off-shore accounts, which I think is appropriately in British Virgin Islands Of course this doesn't just mean his profits but when many of his companies go bust no one gets paid and he just salts away on money he has taken out of the company.

 So why do people like the head of some schools want to support a right wing government which is trying to screw him, and it is a him, and most of the parent in his school?
