Old School Ties

With unseemly haste little snot Gove has been handed the keys to the school gates by the Lib Dims. The Bliar virus to which this coalition seems to have no immunity is at the heart of the Public Schools By Any Other Name measures read out by Liz 2 at yesterday's parliamentary panto. And why not? Fettes alumna Bliar will see his damaging Academy policy coming safely to full implementation by the Eton and Westminster boys at the heart of the 'new' government. Goodbye Universal State Education, hello Selection, Triple Tiering and Class. And shame on you 'Labour' opposition if you don't shout it down at every turn. The signs, including Balls on yesterday's Newsnight, are not encouraging.
