"Suppose you are also in favour of a return to making them clean chimneys!!!"

Michael Gove moots expansion of state boarding school provision for the most vulnerable children
Michael Gove is making a speech tonight to Barnardo's in which he variously describes the current distribution of educational opportunity in Britain as a "scandal" and "indefensibly unequal", adding that "tackling it head on is a central mission for the Conservative Party." He then sets out a ...
And regarding the cartoon, the "Get Stabbed" slogan is not too far from the truth. It is time people woke up and realised that knife crime at current levels is something that has only been allowed to spread under a Labour government, where police are predominantly desk based and operate on a responsive basis, rather than on a preventative basis.
Vote Labour and, yes, you might just get stabbed. Who by? Who knows?
Can the Conservatives turn that damage around overnight? I doubt it but the first step will be getting police back on the street and letting these misguided youths know that the fun time is over.
'Vote Conservative or get stabbed by people who may well be black'
This Steve Bell cartoon appeared in Tuesday's Guardian: It reveals a lot more about the prejudices of Mr Bell than it does of the Conservatives. There is no basis for suggesting that tough and necessary statements from David Cameron on knife crime had any racist content but Mr Bell just couldn...
"Anyway, Cameron has been detatched from society by his upbringing and education. He's not exceptionally intelligent (unlike Brown...) and doesn't understand what it's like to be poor."

Af, you don't need to be exceptionally intelligent to be PM, nor to do most jobs actually (outside of employment based on extensive studying ie. doctors, lawyers etc.)
The role of PM is one of proper delegation and people management, whilst retaining the executive decision making responsibility. Therefore it is a job best done by a person with a feel for who is the best person to fulfil their respective roles within the cabinet, coupled with an abundance of common sense and vision of what we used to call GREAT Britain.
So pop back to Whitehall and see if the "ever-intelligent" Brown can get his head around that propsect....so far, so very, very misunderstood of the job in hand.
And you really should refrain from such stereotyping. It is so 1970s.
