Teaching our Children.
The newspapers and all the media tell us on a Wednesday that the UK teachers are not up to scratch, they can hardly teach our children the basics of reading and arithmatic, they said. The very same media one day later announce, The exam boards have had record passes in all grades by UK students. Both of these statements can't be correct?

The Rise And Fall Of The Banks.
Headlines in the media until a few months ago were telling us, the profits that the banks were making was obscene. Then like a bolt out the blue the banks are skint, jump in the UK labour Government and bail them out to the tune of billions with tax payers money. Lo and behold a few short months down the road, the banks are back in profit making billions. As a tax payer, problem sorted, wrong we have still to loose countless jobs and pay more and more tax. The main rise in VAT has still to come in next January. Are the British really so gutless we are going to sit back and watch these *ankers dishing out our money between themselves and call it bonuses? it would appear so.
