! This post hasn't been updated in over a year. A lot can change in a year including my opinion and the amount of naughty words I use. There's a good chance that there's something in what's written below that someone will find objectionable. That's fine, if I tried to please everybody all of the time then I'd be a Lib Dem (remember them?) and I'm certainly not one of those. The point is, I'm not the kind of person to try and alter history in case I said something in the past that someone can use against me in the future but just remember that the person I was then isn't the person I am now nor the person I'll be in a year's time.
Jack McConnell, First Minister of North Britain, has promised to give Scotland the best education system in the world by 2020.
He plans to open specialist centres of excellence to push bright pupils and to make it compulsary for all 16 and 17 year olds to be in education, training or a job.
There’s no mention of how he’s going to pay for it though. North Britain currently has an £11.3bn budget deficit which will rise again next year as the Scottish Executive continues to spend, spend, spend and the Chancellor continues to give, give, give. How will it be paid for? By more English taxes of course!
They are obviously going to get the best education english money can buy.
Centres of excellence? Could this be anything to do with that twerp ‘Brown’ banging on about excellence, excellence, excellence during his BBC interview Sunday morning?
