Schools are a law unto themselves, and no better demonstration of this came in today's news that a 14-year-old girl was sent home from a Leicester school because her trousers were too tight. Fucking preposterous, and the self-righteous twat in charge defended her decision even though it was pathetic, and the worst sort of example to send to a teenager about decision making.
The headteacher (Liz Logie) needs to wake up and act sensibly. If the schoolgirl had turned up dressed like her mother, then I would have some slight sympathy for the non-compliance. Schools are so often too big for their boots (not that boots are allowable footwear) and this state of affairs was only encouraged by the stupid switch of many secondary schools to 'academies'. The result has been that most have sought to elevate their standing, and claim to be better than they are - whilst introducing a new and expensive uniform. Listen up, CIC: it is about the pupils and their education, not your fucking vanity and your status.as a 'supplier'. Concentrate on your jobs and get real.
Universities
Universities are even worse at bigging themselves up. There seems to be an impression amongst those running universities that they are entitled to grow, year on year, and extend their power, reach and presence irrespective of the economic climate or the demand from students. It is NOT the right of every university to expand and pat itself on the back for being wonderful. Charging £9,000 per year for every place is now the norm, and it smacks of cuntism in many cases. This "business" is so out of sync with the whole concept of education and learning, and these institutions are riddled with stupid views that they are entitled to march towards ever-greater levels of domination. It is also the case that degrees are worth less than they used to be worth, are easier to come by, and are dished out in a range of subjects that is far too diverse to have proper relevance to today's society, needs or the jobs market. With some issues now in recruiting fee-payers in the UK, the international students are all the more sought after, to help these bloated entities keep going and growing. What an out-of-control bandwagon.
Gordon Taylor
So, the union leader who has the cushiest job going with a salary of £1,000,000 per year has been exposed as someone with a rather severe gambling habit. Owing over £100,000 through gambling debts is both inconvenient and rather embarrassing considering his past comments about gambling being the scourge of the football world. His position does seem untenable considering that as the leader of the players' union, he needs to command respect. The 12-man committee has supported Mr Taylor, so it's apparently okay to gamble with such severe consequences whilst representing players who he's told that gambling is evil. Hmmmm. I reckon he hasn't got far to go to emulate Sepp Blatter in terms of trying (and failing) to portray himself in a good light. I think the real reason he's hanging on to his position is that he needs his salary to have a chance of paying off the debt.
Ed Miliband
I have nothing much to say about this toad, other than to confirm he is too big for his boots and hasn't a shred of credibility. Anyone who thinks a vote for Labour whilst he is in charge is anything other than stupid is stupid himself or herself. The sooner he pisses off the better.
