Men fight and lose the battle, and the thing that they fought for comes about in spite of their defeat, and when it comes turns out not to be what they meant, and other men have to fight for what they meant under another name. (William Morris - A Dream of John Ball)

Only guilty of undermining our education system...

It must be good news for Des Smith that he won’t face charges under the “cash for honours” probe – no doubt others closer to Blair hope for the same outcome. It’s just a shame there is no law against recruiting private sponsors to run Academy schools and undermine comprehensive education, contrary to UNISON policy.

Because as far as that goes Mr Smith, and New Labour, are bang to rights.

Do you not think that as long as you get the right sponsors then academies can be a positive way to raise standards in tough areas?

Thats the way they were sold to Manchester Labour anyway.
