So "Prescott Revolts Over School Plan" we are told by the Sunday Times.

At two cabinet meetings last week the deputy prime minister clashed with Tony Blair over a white paper that will wrestle control of secondary schools away from local education authorities (LEAs).

Given the track record of the Honourable Tub of Lard, Gorse Fox would think that this a clear endorsement that the white paper is on the right track.

“Prescott thinks the white paper will create elite schools at the expense of others,” a cabinet source said yesterday.

Err, let's anlayse this.

1. "Prescott thinks" clearly shoddy journalism. There has never been any proof or even indication that he has reached an evolutionary level that renders him capable of rational thought.


2. Is it wrong to "create elite schools". Clearly NOT, every parent wishes their child to strive for excellence.
3. "at the expense of others". STOP. The Gorse Fox can only read so much b*ll*cks this time of the morning. Every fibre of the Tub-of-Lard's being has been dedicated to doing things at the expense of others. This is totalitarian hypocrisy.
• Comprehensives schools exist "at the expense" of Grammars.
• Regional grants for the North exist "at the expense" of the South.
• Regional Authorities exist "at the expense" of democracy.
• Indeed the Labour Party govern "at the expense" of the English voter.

Apparently David Cameron's comment on this was a perspicacious:

“It shows the extent of Labour’s failing and wasted opportunity that nearly eight years after abolishing grant-maintained schools they are effectively reintroducing them,"
