No, he's a Methodist.

So Al Jazeera English cannot be full of "wogs" then, can it?

In fact non of the London News Presenters - Felicity Barr, Nick Clark,
Stephen Cole, Hamish MacDonald, or Barbara Serra could be put in that
category.

They are all caucasian, and for the most part, they all look
stereotypically Anglo-Saxon.

The left has always been famous for its po-faced inability to see

It's now on freeview.
Is it?

If not, someone is pulling off a neat impersonation. *:-)

Oh, so it is! It's odd really because for the lst two days I've been
working in a place with a wide assortment of foreigners in it, and
they have Freeview there but no satellite (strangely). I noticed that
a lot were using the various foreign TV and radio stations, but I
didn't see Al Jazeera. About twenty of the tellys were new so they
must have it tuned in.

Freeview has "Al Jazeera English" which is a service that is in
competition internationally with BBC News CNN, etc. It isn't "foreign"
in the way that perhaps the company's Arabic service might be.

Your attempt at humor could have been forgive if the comment had been made
in relation to CCTV-9, since wily oriental gentlemen do indeed present the
news on that station.

In the context of Al Jazeera English other stereotypical racist
terms, as used for example by the Daily Express, would have been in context.

And if you must do racist humor, it should be with a cockney accent a la
Alf Garnet, or Mancunian a la Eddie Booth, unless you really mean it,
again with a Mancunian accent, but in the style of Bernard Manning.

I don't dislike the BBC, I love it, and that's why I'm concerned that
it has innate left wing liberal bias. I just think that they should
try to be a bit more balanced. The news and current affairs programmes
are usually quite OK; it's the light entertainment that annoys me. All
this politically correct lefty liberal greeny ********, yet they take
the **** out of people for being old on a regular basis. The BBC
pushes onto us the values of the metropolitan middle class young
professional, ignoring the values that many of us elderly bucolic
working class horny handed sons of toil despise.

I suggest you watch Ajazeera instead.
Not bloody likely, it's full of wogs.

Golly!
After reading this, I've got a mental image of a cage-full of gorillas called
"The Aljazeera Wogs". They live in a zoo with "Political Correctness" the zebra,
"Double Standards" the lion, a termite colony known as "The Silent Majority" and
a lonely, overfed walrus called "Indigenous Accidental Cock Haemorrhage".

LOL! Poor Bill...

Humour? You're the only joke round here mate.

So what you are saying is that rather than carry out repairs to school
buildings, the policy is to let them deteriorate until funding can be
found to rebuild them.

This does happen. However a lot of schools can work within this
framework if they keep on top of the maintance, particularly if the
buildings are not old. Repairs can sometimes be taken out of a
different budget if they are needed for H&S reasons but this is also
limited. It looks like this budget will be further reduced next year,
but I don't yet know.

What a brilliant policy

It stinks. Particularly since the government is going to finance new
school builds without proving there is a need for them. Yet repairs
to existing schools will be neglected.

OK, show me one photograph of a politician opening a
Re-roofing/Re-wiring/replacement window fitting project for the
council office/school/community centre etc

I would suggest that organisations would not ask a politician to such
an event, because repairs do not really have an "opening" as such. The
buildings are probably in use during the works.

Our MP has visited local schools on receipt of awards, opening of new
classrooms, ICT suites etc.

But I agree. The government is looking for headline grabbing, vote
winning projects and not real improvement.

I suggest you will be hard pressed to find one - and this isn't a
political point - any flavour of politician will do.

On another non-political point - just how much did the last government
spend on the maintenance of schools? No more I would suggest than the
last Tory government did.

I don't have the figures. However the current government have
completed scrapped the last governments "BSF" project and not replaced
it with anything. Many schools were relying on this money and had
already done a lot of work in preparation.

Now schools have to join the Tory exclusive "Academy" club to get
money and no-one, AFAIK, really knows the details of this scheme.
It seems to me like a rehash of the Grant Maintained School status of
the last Tory mob.

The politician gets his moment of glory at the opening ceremony of the
new school, and that's it. Nothiing more will be heard from him until
the roff leaks and the windows start to fall out

There are a small number of politicians that do not fit into the
category.
