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.

we've just had a county politician open a reconstructed railway bridge -
closed for 9 months.

Last night the BBC TV news had an item about the cuts in the education
budget. The story was that the government had decided to cut millions
of pounds from the last government's proposed education budget, but no
mention was made of the fiscal reasons

The *alleged* fiscal reasons.

That we need billions of pounds of cuts is just a political view.
To say that's why they were necessary would be buying the Tories'
line. The truth is that they are taking advantage of the recession
to pretend that the country has to balance its books as if it were
an individual, and excuse the cuts in services that they couldn't
get away with otherwise. Unfortunately the BBC is so right wing
that it doesn't tell us that.

Wow. The BBC is simultaenously accused of left AND right wing bias
in the same report.

I guess that means the coverage was balanced?

Until Murdoch buys them

No, from their point of view they are cutting the *right* things.

Norman Tebbutt said "get on your bike and find work", Cameron is
saying "get in your wheelchair and find work" while simultaneously
putting millions on the dole and ensuring there is even less work. And
less dole.

Is She still alive? It can't be much longer now before we can hand her
corpse over to the scotts who have promised to take care of the funeral
arrangements which includes digging a deep enough grave so they can
personally hand her over to Satan.

Norman Tebbitt actually said

"I grew up in the 1930s with an unemployed father.
He did not riot. He got on his bike and looked for work ..."


PS I am no fan of Norman Tebbitt, but claiming that people
said one thing when they actually said something else is
if done knowingly and wilfully is just propagating lies.

correctness, authoritarian, man of the white people, Nick Griffin

Perhaps my memory is at fault here. However I don't think he stopped
speaking entirely at that ellipsis...

I'd agree that it was a challenge for her to get even madder than her
behaviour when governing. sic

Is She still alive?

First define "alive" in the context. Are the undead "alive"?... 8-]

Do you seriously think he'd accept her and put up with the competition? :-)
