Most of the school sports fields (think its about 230 in total) were sold off during the period of Labour government. Schools are now only allowed to sell up to half an acre without Ministerial approval. Astro Turf areas used to be assessed as part of pupil play area, however research has proven that children do not play in the same way on sterile surfaces.
I was involved in some of this research and I have yet to meet a single person who agreed with raising money in this way… still it happened even though in Labours manifesto they vowed it would not.
Teapot
It started under the Tories back in the 1980s and you cannot say that most were sold off under Labour. In fact, Labour introduced legislation:
“Section 77 of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 was introduced on 1 October 1998 to stop the indiscriminate sale of school playing fields that occurred in the 1980s and early to mid 1990s. There are no central records of how many school playing fields were sold before October 1998.”

Of course I wouldn’t want children to be taught in bad conditions Panda. But it just goes to show what certain establishments are made to sacrifice just to get by. I was quite shocked.
I agree with you kent – I think it’s out of order as well.
But it’s nothing new – my school in the late 1980s started selling off their playing fields for housing.
But we live in a divided society – the haves and the have nots.
I can’t see Eton ever having to sell of their lands to raise funds.
Is the BNP still going?
I thought Marmite was suing them to the point of financial ruin?
Well, here’s hoping anyway!
Still, after the last election results, the BNP is dying out anyway – only do well in local elections and in europe but when it comes to the General Election – the one that matters, well they don’t do very well do they?
As for Officer status in the BNP is that akin to being a Milk Monitor?

Was talking to a plumber friend the other day. He was telling me about a job they are doing at the moment. Plumbing for flats in Islington London.
A school in Islington has sold off a huge chunk of their playground to raise funds. On the sold off land…surprise surprise social housing goes up.
I was gobsmacked just at the thought of a school having to sell off land. But then again it’s better than it closing down isn’t it? But if it’s such dire need of money how long will it last before the next time?
The thing that got me was my friend describing play times. He said when its playtime and the kids go out to play in the tiny space they have there is hardly room to move, let alone run around.
When we were kids we loved playtimes. Running skipping playing on the apparatus. Lots of these kids who live in London probably live in flats and don’t have the luxury of gardens to play in anyway.
I’m thinking in years to come will there be loads of stupid compensation claims for restriction of play space while the kids were in the care of the local schools?It’s nothing new. School playing fields were sold off to raise funds.
It’s all wrong but when this govt has slashed the school building money what else can schools do?
Teach kids in run down, damp and unsafe buildings?

Hmmm. I think you’ll find Mr Enfield was indulging in satire.
He was taking the pish out of sexists in much the same way the creators of Alf Garnett were taking the pish out of racists. :roll:

basicaly she ran out of any thing constuctive to say
i usually leave people feeling that way
she will sit around now for a week thinking of some clever answers
or read the papers some more
lets face it the most of what she said was quoted from the media :roll:LOL – least what I said was constructive. I don’t think I have ever seen you type anything constructive on here at all.
Never mind thin, perhaps cosy will come back and you can spend your time thinking of ways to wind him up.

I still think they were sh.it on they were only saying what a lot of other people were thinking and saying
It appears that’s not the case because if it was, Gray and Keys would be lauded for their comments.
Instead, they are both unemployed.
Thats rubbish and you know it.
Opps! I’ve hit a raw note!
Lol not at all it was just more polite than me saying youre talking sh.it at times :wink:
Nah. I hit a raw note.
If you say so but i dont see anything in what you said that could be considered to have hit a raw note
The raw note was in your own response.
