Title: Pupils promised 'quality culture'
Post by: Barman on February 14, 2008, 01:12:06 PM
Quote from: BBC Web Shite
Schoolchildren in England are being promised high-quality cultural activities in and out of school and the chance to pursue creative careers.

The Department for Children, Schools and Families says each child will have access to "at least five hours of high-quality culture per week".

Source (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/education/7241460.stm)

Firstly, what a complete load of fanciful cack – where will they squeeze five extra hours from with all the political correctness, sexual awareness, obeseness avoidance, cookery classes, money management and all the other ridiculous ‘skills’ training that Labour have introduced…

Secondly, why isn’t the media screaming “You’ve been in power for ten farking years you useless bunch of tossers, how dare you come out with comments like this: -“

Quote from: ”Ed Balls”
"I want all young people to have the chance to experience and take part in creative activities to help them learn and develop."

No gentleman ever wore turnups on his trousers until a photograph of the then Prince of Wales (The one who invented the Windsor Knot and later abdicated) appeared in the press. He had turned up the bottom of his trouser legs to keep them from getting muddy on one of his interminable walk abouts. The great British public saw the photograph and the fashion was born.

Bet you are fascinated by that bit of sartorial history   tunble:
