Dementia epidemic at Conservative HQ

Having forgotten to mention the dreaded E-word in their first press release of the day, the Tories have now forgotten to mention England in the next two.

A major review of the curriculum for England's primary schools suggests that six broad "areas of learning" could replace individual subjects.

Michael Gove is a prime example of education gone bad. He has poor reading skills, an inability to communicate ideas, he doesn't know his geography and he doesn't listen.

The E word makes life difficult for non English MP's, it also makes life difficult for non English English MP's.

Tally hits the nail on the head. No Englishman or woman can feel confident that a Scot can represent his or her interests.

It's not hard to see how the land lies with the Tories - Northern Ireland and the Union are more important than the poor suckers who vote for them in England.
