Coka Cola Christmas.
And here’s me thinking it was about peace and goodwill.
Hope Coka Cola make plenty of money.

Rant directed at the commercialisation of Christmas greed, not at fellow posters

She also wants to scrap classroom assistants helping children who cannot speak English
My sons girlfriend is a primary school teacher…. she has a class of 27 children 11 of whom are “Special Needs” kids ..
Special needs is a child who has special education needs and has significantly greater difficulty in learning than the majority of children the same age… or a child who has a disability that hinders them from making full use of educational facilities.
As you can imagine the needs are many and varied but mainly language skills or lack of them….additionally some of the kids are in the “At Risk” category…. all this for a young teacher hardly more than a girl herself…. with one part time teaching assistant!
Now I’m all for integration into mainstream education …..but as she says her job is impossible… the area the school is in has very little parental involvement with a high percentage of English as a second language households….. I would like to see the baroness explain to my sons girlfriend how its possible her lose her teaching assistant? I fear for all the kids in this class… its a nightmare really. Where will it end!!!!
It’s OK, calm down.
The millionaire David Cameron says we are all in it together.
Perhaps she will be rescued by the big society.
Let’s spend less on pesky luxuries like children’s education so that the fittest can survive. Oh and who will those be? That’s right the ones who are already rich or can force their way through regardless.
Don’t worry. Those who can pay will still get a quality education and health service. It’s just those scroungers who wont.
And ol’ Davie says the class war is so passé. Everyone is just one big happy society. But yet the class war is still alive and being fought between those at the lower end of the income scale – between those who have a little and those who have nothing. Those who have a little see the ones with nothing as scroungers who will take their little away from them, while the commercial rich stand back, watch and take the profits.
We are also seeing the commercial rich turning on the middle class professionals who (surprise surprise) tend to vote Labour. Burn the BBC. Sack as many senior public servants as possible. Make everyone frightened. No no, this isn’t a war.
There aren’t enough rich people to vote the Tories in, but there are plenty of frightened people who have a little, who will vote for them. And this, despite the fact that the Tories are strangling their ability to ever have more, by dismantling education and health – the most powerful tools we have to create a level playing field.
I would never have thought it. I really thought for a while that Fukuyama might be right, and that the old style left/right, rich/poor, capitalist/socialist stuff from the 19th and 20th centuries had passed. I almost believed that we shared a different type of conviction about making capitalism work for everyone; that Labour and the Tories differed on the tactics but not on their aspirations for a just society.
I was wrong. We have a government for the rich and a terrified population blaming each other for problems caused not by scroungers, but by the failures of the current version of capitalism. We are all suffering as capitalism is reborn. And the haves will make sure they are still the haves once the crisis has passed.
Bye bye fairness. Bye bye social justice. Bye bye any chance at social mobility. Hello dog eat dog world.
At least we’ll be leaner, fitter and wiser.
What a world for our children.

Does my tartan picnic blanket count as a kilt? I’m feeling kinda left out here.
Fasten it wi’ a big nappy pin and yer there!
That’s pretty much it. In them olden days like, a kilt was just a big bit of plaid with a couple of pins, wrapped round your nether regions (and your uppers if cold) in exactly the way you fancied.
Job’s a goodun.

Where is elsewhere and why am I missing the fun?

Not me of course, I’m always spotlessly clean!
