    All about the money. Doean't matter how it will effect childrens education. Then in a few years time cost even more money when it is seen as a failure.

    Short termism disease yet again, coupled with f***** it up last time around and it's about time we f***** it up again. Don't be accused of only doing half a job.

    Conservative Britain. People actually voted for this stuff.

    The thing is, we are always being told that the Tories control the money better than Labour who "always overspend", but is it any wonder when they have to put right the underfunding of Conservatism?

    This is what passes for representative democracy in our benighted country.

    I'd rather they just vote for it and show a general consensus of those in parliament, than rolling over and letting the Tories steamroller policy.

    I'm not *quite* sure why that is, but the whole abstention really grates on me.

    Totally defeats the point of them being there, to not even turn out and vote.

    Sadly, I have very little faith in this Labour administration.

    Expected win for Trump - polls had him between 15-20 points ahead for the last few weeks. Kasich will win Ohio, but Cruz is the only person that can stop him being the nominee. God help us if either wins.

    You closet Tory you. Don't let them off so lightly.

    How we have allowed the education of the next generation to be taken away from local control staggers me. We seem to sleep walk into disasters. Legal Aid cuts; Privatisation of Health and Education; anti-trade union legislation that allows workers to be exploited; "devolving" powers to give us a new target for our frustrations - Northern Powerhouse crap for example. And don't get me started on the destruction of heavy industry and the rise of the "we-do-bugger-all-but-make-ourselves-rich" industry.

    But that nice Mr Osborne will give us all a bit of a tax cut, so all's well with the world.

    What passses for opposition is a BBC media which exposes the things which otherwise go hidden, and latterly a social media which actually has a conscience through petition.

    Marco Rubio has suspended his campaign for President. Things certainly go quickly.

    I truly despair when a Country that has over 300,000,000 people will choose either Hilary Clinton or Donald Trump as their leader. Just shows how uneducated the average American is and how money can buy anything.

    Depressing news. By Rubio is pretty right-wing by European standards, but compared to Cruz and Trump he was the face of moderate Republicanism.
