Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

School marked down by Ofsted for being 'too white'

Parents angered after Lincolnshire primary school marked down by inspectors for not having enough black or Asian children

Ofsted was accused of “political correctness” after downgrading a top rural primary school for effectively being too English.


The education watchdog faced a backlash from MPs and parents following the decision to penalise Middle Rasen primary in Lincolnshire for not having enough back or Asian pupils.


In a report, inspectors said the school was “not yet outstanding” because pupils’ cultural development was limited by a “lack of first-hand experience of the diverse make up of modern British society”.


The move followed a shake-up of Ofsted inspections introduced in the wake of the “Trojan Horse” plot in Birmingham to impose hard-line Muslim values in state schools.


Schools are now told to place fundamental British values at the heart of the timetable including mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs.


But the reforms have already been criticised for having a knock-on effect on faith schools and those dominated by pupils of a particular ethnic group.

Last month, it was claimed that a small Christian school in the Home Counties had been penalised after failing to other invite faith leaders, such as imams, in to lead assemblies.

Commenting on the latest case, Sir Edward Leigh, the Conservative MP for Gainsborough, said he had written to Nicky Morgan, the Education Secretary, “objecting strenuously to the new so-called 'equality' regulations she is implementing in schools”.

He added: “This is political correctness gone mad. Middle Rasen primary school is an outstanding school by any standards.

AND MONEY.

I missed this one:

Where's Haystack?

Haze is very quiet.

I wonder if he has popped down to Party CQ for spiel to crow over after the results at Rochester.

Or is still looking at the repeats on TV.

In Rochester doing the rounds with other Tory thugs trying to put Ukippers off.

It seems an awfully long time ago when one could have respect for the Torrid party and its leading lights.

Over the last 30 years, possibly starting from Maggie and Tebbit they have become the party of thugs and under the present lot, some may consider it the party of smear and corruption. Politically moving further to the right than the UKIPPERS and into the BNP.

David Cameron risks losing UK seat to UKIP


I read this headline and hoped it was referring to his own seat.

You couldn't make it up if you tried....



Outrage as greedy EU demands MORE of your cash

FURY erupted last night over a shock demand for £5.4billion from the European Union.

The surprise claim is likely to further boost Ukip in today’s by-election in Kent. The poll already looks certain to give the party another spectacular victory.

Members of the European ­Parliament demanded the cash – including £680million from British taxpayers – to settle unpaid bills. Anti-Brussels campaign groups were outraged last night about the sudden cash demand.Ukip MEP Jonathan Arnott, the party’s spokesman on the EU budget, said: “It is clear that the EU is beyond reform.

“The only way for Britain to avoid being at the sharp end of more EU bills is to withdraw altogether.” And Jonathan Isaby, of the Tax- Payers’ Alliance, said: “The European Union has gone over-budget, and now wants British taxpayers to help pay the bills. It’s totally unacceptable and the Prime Minister must stand up to these demands.We must get a better deal from Brussels.”

MrT - 50811 - thoroughly agree and that is so right across the board regardless of political hue or even the country involved ...... ditto union leaders and the like

Mr T just needs to start using capital letters and punctuation. (and a new brain)

Conservatives lead at 1

Latest YouGov / The Sun results 19th November -

Con 34%, Lab 33%, LD 7%, UKIP 14%;

Rather out of the blue there was also a Survation constituency poll of Stockton South earlier today – a Conservative held ultra-marginal, currently represented by James Wharton. The poll had topline figures of CON 39%(nc), LAB 37%(-1), LDEM 3%(-12), UKIP 18%(+15). Changes are from the general election and technically represent a tiny swing from Labour to the Conservatives.

heading for a hung parliament
shame we're not heading for hanging politicians too ...... heads on spikes on london bridge wouldn't be a bad idea either!
