Silence of the Pink ‘Un IV
The FT‘s education correspondent Chris Cook has inexplicably missed out on yet another great story. An A-level maths exam due to be sat next week has been scrapped after a major security breach – it turns out the exam board, Edexcel, accidentally delivered a batch of papers to a British school in Egypt. The news was picked up by all the main news outlets, yet somehow the FT missed it, again:
- Telegraph: A-level exam axed following major security breach
- BBC: Maths A-level exam paper scrapped
- Mail: Thousands of A-level exam papers pulped after security error
- Press Association: Maths exam sent to schools in error
It’s not like the FT and Edexcel are owned by the same company or anything…
What a “Cook-up”
Yawn!
has cameron resigned yet?
Today, I will be cooking McBrains Faggots on Ready Steady Cock.
The fact Becky with a ” K” lives in a country pile next door to my own country pile does not at all automatically imply that I invite her to our drum for marinated swan casserole every single weekend .
In fact I do not speak to my next door neighbours as the nearest lives about ten miles away from my nearest electric fence.
Who Is this Becky with a ” K” antyway?
1 and 3 equals 6 no wonder the exam was scrapped. Try doing this sum 6 plus6 times 6 equals 144. You have now passed th exam with flying colours.
No conflict of interest; nothing to hinder comment.
Mr. Cook’s editorial omissions being something of a pervasive meme across many a media estate, for various reasons (financial to ideological) these days.
Luckily, like most (not all, uniquely), the FT is a source of news one can opt out of paying for and/or even using to inform and educate oneself.

Education ( third time lucky !!)
I actually buy the FT using vouchers in advance payment .
I got the Year 1 deal for £1 a copy — not bad .
Year 2 they want to increase it to £1.50 !!
Think I’ll go to the library and read the scrunched up copy in future ( well.. I DO pay Council Tax !!)

This was the way nursing education was undertaken until the ill fated project 2000. Training and experience gained on the wards, with a few hours a week at the in house nursing school. Result competent nurses, with a teriffic work ethic, and clean well run hospitals.
Now all nurse training is university based. Result incompetent nurses, questionable work ethic, dirty, badly run hospitals.
Gove is a true reformist, and surely the only competent minister in Goverment at the present.
I am so disappointed. Once you could rely on Guido. In this case Edexel (a truly crap board) for once got it right. They correctly delivered the papers to the British Council – who then, by mistake, distributed them in a set of old papers. Seems odd Guido did not go after the real culprits.
And the qualifying answer is:
________ b ± √-b² -4ac x = ――――――――――――― 2aYou went to all that trouble and got it wrong!
Yawn. Isn’t the more plausible explanation that this story is really boring?
Christ, Guido. Fire the tea-boy who wrote this bollocks.
