I watched this yesterday
Were you in the Babylon Zoo video?
Government should charge a nominal amount from parents for schooling. £1,000 a year will be a start.
Who will pay this for my bairns?
Cut taxes to pay for fees. It will end up improving schools as people only pay for goods and services they need and will complain it its poor standard.
Abolish income tax and pay directly for services – health, education, etc. Then we would see some quite dramatic improvements and savings.
I think we already pay much more than that.
I think the actual figure government currently charges is £9,000.
That’s the cost that taxpayers pay. Of course, “THE RICH” those horrible, evil people, are also paying for all the people who don’t earn enough to pay that sort of tax.
And they are probably not even sending their kids to a state school, so are paying twice for their own kids. And taxpayers with no kids are also paying.
If UK is spending £9,000 a year per child’s education you can see waste in lorry loads.
That (k is an old labour era figure too. Its probably more like £14k
Government should be responsible for basic education extras should be paid. There could be grants for skills that are needed but in short supply.
Basic education is the ability to read, write and count.
… not drink, smoke, work out the cross-double odds on the 2.30, and swear? My, times have changed….
You can catch up with all the Vatican fun on iPrayer.

Its ‘Father Ed’
Father Ed Milly is trying get old ‘Father JocK’ to attend at least one Mass a year. Father ‘Jock’ refuses to leave his worm-ridden, slimy chair and just shouts “Tractors! Tax! Spend!” and hurls Nokias at anyone within range.

@OwenJones84 breadline? is that a technical term? The propagandist tries to stimulate others to accept without challenge his own assertions.

Jones doesn’t appear to like a ‘conversation”
I watched it 5 light years ago.
Is it on on Fiday?
the commies are going to chop your big black cock off and make you eat it you stupid fucking spastic.
.. like (as the saying goes) a Lam to the slaughter?
I have had no bin collection today.
Are you sure? Maybe you have a bin collection but you just can’t remember ?
As a Lib Dem loon he should be mulching all his garbage. Starting with his policies.
Definitely not had a collection, or can you not recall a collection today? Have you checked your diaries?
My mate down the pub insisted he’d told me last year that Shearer was a class apart from Gascoigne. However, on consulting my diary entry for the conversation I find he actually favoured Lineker.
What did he say about the Olympics?
I am to star in a new TV production of the Galloping Gormless
Just have a look….oh, he said don’t go for a piss in bladerunner’s house…
Very perceptive.
So if there are no lights in the bog, is that a shot in the dark?
How long does it take the CPS to change a light-bulb?
About the same time it takes them to arrest an Elm House ” name”.
How many officers does it take to break a light bulb?
21
1 to break the bulb, and the other 20 to swear under oath that the light bulb started it.
Privatise the police

If you are going to link to pages containing pictures of Tubby Lammy, please be kind enough to give us a warning.
Let’s privatise the police
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/jimmy-savile-investigator-offers-to-help-round-up-1980s-paedophile-ring-8531705.html
Privatise them? Many of us thought they already had been.
I hoped someone is going to ask him about that school in Oldham and the land .
My very good friend Theresa has asked me to come on here and rubbish Michael Gove but I am worried it will break my bail conditions.
warming up -
Is this Michael “when I worked for a living (well, worked for newspaper) I went on strike, but now strikes are evil and ideological” Gove?
Are you implying hypocrisy??
If some journo in the private sector goes on strike for more pay, no one cares, they should just go an get a better salary somewhere else, but when the strikers are in the public sector and they’re not striking for more money but are instead having the usual leftie moan about performance-related pay, then yes, they are being ideological.
Gove made mincemeat of the two Labour committee members there.
What a pair of tossers!
I am still waiting as promised for a full explanation about how horse meat got into my beef burgers and why my country has impregnated the European food chain with bute .
I think we should insist that the Government sort out one mess at a time.
It is far too easy for them to sweep things under the carpet by changing the subject .
And have those foster kids been returned to the UKIP foster parents? And has the stupid bitch who had the kids taken away been sacked yet?
Oh, and that ex-communist who runs the NHS Deathcamps and oversaw the slaughter of thousands of people – has Cameron done a U-turn and sacked him yet? Along with his newly-appointed assistant Dame Whatshername? And are the police looking into corporate manslaughter charges?
The government might hope we forget about theses things, but we don’t, and they keep piling, day after day.
I’m still waiting on expense-fiddling MPs being dealt with properly.
One pound fish?

In my day Sole Colbert was deep fried. Brown,crisp with maitre d’ hotel butter for lubrication.
I would eat that
Tastes just like the real thing
Singalong now: A finger of fish is just enough to give a guy a treat….
Sarah Wollaston MP said on Twitter at the weekend that the prime minister should open up his inner circle.
Thought he had done that already with gay marriage…
Only after it had been ring-fenced tho.
Fortunately the eclestiastical memberes gathering in the Cistern Chapel are concerned with making the correct choice and saving R souls.
If only they would let me free with that ceiling.

“Half of British children will be ‘below breadline’ by 2015″
Maybe, but somehow most will be obese.
Poverty is measured by in PS3s and Smatphones these days and not food, clothes and a roof.
According to the report its measured by overseas holidays.
Now all the middle class are below the breadline because the weak pound means no Florida Disneyland this year!
oh, the humanity!
Other good measure of ‘poverty’ as defined by Labour would be size and number of plasma TVs in the household, number of subscription satellite channels received, broadband speed and of course the type of iPads in the household (iPad 2 being more an indication of poverty than an iPad 3, for example).
I’ve got an IPad2.
I have been feeling particularly deprived of late.
Dear Bill
What you really need is an iPad with the retina screen. A steal at only an expense claim of only £70 more than your current model. You could do with the latest version so you don’t feel deprived. Go on you know you are worth it.
IPSA
Below the breadline you say .
Just give them cake I say.
Good idea. Cake shaped as bread.
Now why didn’t I think of that.
Would have saved my neck.
Probably because they ate the “breadline”, 13 years of Liebour and billions pissed over this childrens breadline by Broon and it’s still with us, it’s become like illegal drugs, a bloody good employer of uncivil servants chasing or pretending to sort the problem ou, must be somewhere where taxpayers money is drying up, hence the usual shout of help the “poor”.
Oh you all want to moan moan moan but what the hell about all the Indian gun boats that are below the water line huh?
WHAT ABOUT THAT?
No thought not
And their parents will still have fags, piercings and tattoos.
Poverty should be measured by the number of tattoos on foreskins
what?
But at least one lot of piercings is out of view because the iPhone 5 on the 24 month / £33 per month contract is permanently affixed to one ear. Usually while calling taxi companies to come and pick them (and their beer) up from Asda or Aldi.
Do I detect a little bit of the ‘politics of envy’ here? I mean, one of life’s failures grasping around to try and find someone he can feel superior to. Pathetic.
Envy? My other car is a Ford 8…
I feel pretty,
Oh, so pretty,
I feel pretty and witty and bright!
And I pity
Any girl who isn’t me tonight!
I feel charming,
Oh, so charming
It’s alarming how charming I feel!
And so pretty
That I hardly can believe I’m real!
“What mirror? Where?”
This one
Straight outta Streatham
Crazy motherfucker named Chuka
From the party whose voters are suckers

Squeeze the trigger
And bodies are hauled off
You too boy if you fuck with me

Mix ‘em and cook ‘em in a pot like gumbo
Goin’ off on a motherfucker like that
With a gat
That’s pointed at your ass
So give it up smooth
Ain’t no tellin when I’m down for a jack move
Here’s a murder rap to keep you dancin’
With a crime record like Peter Mandelson
Early Day Motion is the tool
Don’t make me act the motherfuckin fool
Me you can go toe to toe, no maybe
I’m knockin voters out the box, daily
Yo weekly, monthly and yearly
Until them dumb motherfuckers see clearly
That I’m down with the capital N-U-T
Boy you can’t fuck with me
So when I’m in your neighborhood
You better duck
Coz Chuka Umunna is crazy as fuck
As I leave, believe I’m stompin
But when I come back, boy
I’m comin straight outta Streatham
More like NWO than NWA though
Somebody above was muttering about the current state of ejermakashun.
Gove has a mountain to climb!
Back in the box Govey.
Gove ith thuch a thilly puppet, ithn’t he?
Oh yeth!
Just a thought if the conclave of the cardinals in the Vatican cannot reach a majority decision will they form a coalition
A circle more like. All up each others bums
Nope, they’ll have a “last man standing” punch up a la Smackdown.
Faites vos jeux (ooh, am I allowed to use that word on here?)
I am a self appointed economist
I speculate in commodities
The Bank of England should print more money so commodity prices in the UK EXPLODE
The people pay and I win

The market has failed
Is capitalsm finished?
The government basically targeting stock market indexes and staging massive interventions in order to look after their banker friends and ‘advisors’ is not ‘Capitalism’.
You are suggesting that the massive market distorting effect of Socialism by the back door will be solved by letting Socialism drive a coach and horses through the front door.
Back to true market price discovery I say!
In short, f*ck you. You are insidiously wrong.
Gove: a face that asks to be punched.
I hope your kids/grandkids/nieces/nephews really really ‘benefit’ from attending a black culture worship centre (AKA ‘school’).
Gove is one of the few bright spots in this turgid, Guardian-reader-appeasing government.
