A Portillo moment WOULD be wonderful wouldn’t it, and televised too, OMG wouldn’t that be SWEET?! But no later return to parliament and NO career as a TV presenter! {shudders}

This document actually gives me tremendous hope. It is SO bad, SO evil that it cannot be hard for HEers to contact their MPs saying “there is no funding. There are no guarantees that the DCSF will use these huge powers wisely”. This has to help us kill the bill.

Plus, if the worst case scenario goes ahead, I would say many HEers are a whisker away from finding alternatives. e.g. simply opting out of statute law, although that requires some serious courage, the ability to remain completely cool under pressure in court, and very careful research about the way one can interact with the giant scam of the statute machine while denying its power over one.

They have created a little subculture of very articulate, very networked dissidents. Our existence makes the totalitarian dream harder to achieve.

Oh, and a post or two back, you are absolutely wrong about Balls. His future lies, not in an inglorious future on labour’s back benches, but in a full-on Portillo moment. I am envisioning this with more energy than his rent-seeker lackeys are envisioning my subjugation. Oh, I’m also envisioning massive budget cuts at the DCSF

The funny thing is that the sentence that made me most angry was “This means that home educated children and their families continue to have a wide discretion to determine the education of their child.”
They think this ‘discretion’ is theirs to generously give!
Who’s child is it? Who do they work for? Remind me …. I think they need a big, fat reminder! Totalitarian shit.
Thanks for great fisking. I shall be keeping it handy in my links.
