³ÉÈËÂÛ̳

I thought that not all that time ago, the Prime Minister was saying he wasn't going to be cutting anything, and certainly not the public sector finances.

... afghan mission vital to uk....

why do the govt feel the need to keep repeating it? because the public do not think it is vital? or winnable?

afghanistan brought to you by the same people who gave you iraq, credit crisis and carbon trading.

public cuts

i hope people do not refer to it as 'the public debt' rather than the bankers debt. i bet they do. if they did then the bankers would be reminded they have a duty to pay it back.

given the MOD has to make cuts [during a war] lets hope people do not end up dying through shortages because of what the bankers have done?

Smarter Govt...yeah, we've all been waiting for this announcement for years. Somebody missed the irony at Labour central when they thunk that one up. The ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳s 'The Thick Of It' is more realistic the more I watch it.

another cortege through Wootton Bassett, another life wasted, more crockadile tears from spineless politicians...when will ever learn that nobody wins in Afghanistan

BUT IS IT EDUCATION OR INSTITUTIONALISING SCHOOLING?

School is a gathering-together. Any gathering of size, requires discipline - this perforce diminishes individuality, sponteneity, free expression. In a word, it INSTITUTIONALISES (like prison). The institutionalised do not make optimum citizens. (Might this even be why we are so vulnerable to advertising and lying politicians?)

Until we ask the question WHAT, IN TOTAL, DOES SCHOOL DO FOR (TO?) THE THE YOUNG, to discuss what MORE we might have it do, is misapplied effort.

It is orders of magnitude more vital that each new beig learns to BE before they learn to DO. Being is not easy in the Age of Bombardment by crafty forces. But if Being is mastered FIRST (and I doubt school is the place for this) then acquiring Doing skills is more focused, and the easier thereby.

Of course, competent individuals, self motivated and coercion-proof, are bad news for Westminster style democracy, so dumbucation X 3 will continue indefinitely.

HE LIED MIM (#1)

And now that Mr Hyde and Alastair Campbell have Wee Jimmie Brown utterly stitched up, you can expect WORSE. Jekyll is dead - buried with the Manse Myth and with the Acme Moral Compass that never worked, even for Wile E Coyote.

The Machiavellian pair will whisper wickedness in Brown's ear, right up till they dump him in an ignominious heap.

Perhaps it should be taken further for the sake of journalistic accuracy.

Every time cuts have to be undertaken- health care for the elderly, schools etc. It should be made mandatory for the phrase "in order to subsidise the bankers cuts will have to be made in.....

you're still full of it, aren"t you, ape? Machiavelli's going down with Brown. Ape's fate's not made, contrary to what ape might think, ape's fate'll never be pink.

The whisper's long finished, 'my dears', it's now more globally than clear.

Sigh.......When will the curse of mimpromptu be lifted from the NN blogs?

It looks like mimpromptu is actually being taken note of by the big wild world with more and more people coming round to what she stands for and what she is about so I don't see a problem.

Those who've tried but failed to engage with her are. Invited to give up.

And what does mimpromptu stand for?

Dumbing down the NN blogs

Re: ice skating

I not so much stand but glide and twirl with people with actual class coming up to me to talk, including more and more ice skating instructors and Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean

I've had a few great comments from English people themselves about my ditties

I stand for basic humanity racially and background equal

Accusing someone of paranoia only because of being rejected for vile behaviour speaks volumes of the ridicule as displayed by the accusers

Are my comments about last night's programme so stupid, irrelevant and lacking in quality that even a suggestion of a ban could possibly be justified?

In my view the accusers are very bad loosers who themselves have been living under the delusion of either 'winning' me back or 'winning' me over.

If the accusers don"t like what I write, they are invited to skip through my posts
