Treating People Just Like Pawns in Chess

The recent Gove cock-up over education, giving Ed 'my mother should have drank gallons of meths-infused gin and have repeatedly and vehemently rammed an ebola-coated knitting needle up her cunny whilst pregnant with me' Balls a chance to go for the coalitions throat, kind of highlights how - no matter who is in charge of the nation - it's all something of a game to them.

Education is an importing thing. Very important as it provides the best tools for social mobility, to improve your lot in life and to provide for you and yours. Any silly fucker can clean toilets for a living, and frequently it is the silly fuckers who end up doing so, the cleverer ones realizing that higher-wages come with Knowing Stuff and Having Qualifications.

When Labour were in power, education was less about helping people and more about providing tractor stats, and now they're out they're using it as a weapon against the Coalition. It's not really helped than Gove comes across as fucking useless, that maybe they'd have been better employing a squeaky toy in the role.

No one seems to really give a fuck about those who'll actually be effected by it all, poor widdle kids are great to drag out when you're a weaselling little twat with all the mores of a bottom-feeding ambulance chaser or a minister with all the charm of an infected toenail.

So really, same shit, different government - we have a group of elected shits insulated from the nation at large moving vast sums of our current and future taxation like a bunch of Hollywood starlets playing Risk for real, with another bunch of elected shits acting like the peanut gallery.

One of the biggest arguments I've heard against PR is the erosion of the constituency link, and when I look at this gurning pricks who earn multiples of their constituents average salaries, I think we lost that link a long time ago. Now a politicians main goal is to keep in with Party Central, as if they do lose a seat if they've brown-nosed enough there will always be opportunities to be parachuted into safe seats or the Lords.

More of a ramble than a post this, but oh well....
