MORE Government Hypocrisy

Most recently it was local hospital department closures being defended by the very same people who were pushing through the closures, now, yet again, it is one standard for the general population and another for the "elite".

THE child of a cabinet minister, who used to be a key part of Tony Blair’s education team, is to be sent to a £15,000-a-year private school.
The child, who is understood to have dyslexia and could not be named for legal reasons, is going to the home counties school because it is understood the child’s parents feel that their youngster’s needs cannot be adequately dealt with within the state sector.


During the minister’s time spent working in the education team, the government was criticised for closing a number of special needs schools, arguing that such children’s needs could be adequately met in regular state schools.

Of course it is only right that any caring parent should do the very best for their child, but these are the same people who are telling everyone else that the service provided is totally acceptable, just not for them.

What message does this send to the parents of other children with special needs who have not got £15000 a year to spend?

What is the difference between a Dictatorship,in which the favoured few have access to the very best whilst the rest of the population are forced to put up with ever diminishing and failing services, and the present Government of this country?

No it's not a joke, really, what is the difference?

Privacy cloak for minister who sends child to fee school
