There was GOOD news today
Today Michael Gove did a live Q&A on the TimesOnline site.
Naomi:
Home educators have no faith in government , after being treated so badly by Labour. How can that be rectified?Michael Gove:
Dear NaomiI think home educators do a wonderful job - they give up time and sacrifice so much for their children - Government should support them and we won’t allow the current Government’s plans to stigmatise home educators to get through
Naomi:
Thank you ,but can you promise us that clause 26/27 of csf bill will never be
law?Michael Gove:
Dear Naomiyes
One little word. Three lowercase letters. Lovely aren’t they? “can you promise us that clause 26/27 of csf bill will never be law?” “yes”.
The DCSF will no doubt use every dirty trick at their disposal, including lying about poor little Khyra, to try to make him break this promise, so the battle isn’t over, but let’s allow ourselves to seriously consider that we will make it to Polling Day without compulsory licensing on the books.

Bubble: I had a letter from a conservative lord who said (I paraphrase) “good gracious, what a bunch of hogwash that entire bill is. We’ll be holding it up in the Lords until kingdom come, have no fear” and then “mutter mutter ed balls mutter mutter”
As I say, I paraphrase…
