It was in New York, which is where the Tories went on a 'fact finding' visit before drawing up their proposals. What happens is that the schools are given an operating licence for up to five years, have to follow all state statutes and curriculum guidelines, and if they fail to perform at least in line with the average of the state system, the state takes the school over.

He didn't know that at the time, maybe she was a MILF. ( And remember, in some parts of the country that's only a 13 year age gap ).

Bennies ( Shortly after the 1982 Falklands Conflict between Britain and Argentina British soldiers garrisoning the islands were ordered to stop referring to the islander community as "Bennies" (a reference to the fashion of Crossroads character Benny Hawkins). Shortly after this the soldiers began referring to the islanders as "Stills" to avoid the restriction (i.e. "Still Bennies") )

But if sufficient of the other unsecured debt is imaginary and discounted from the total, the HMRC share can get back to over 25%, at which point the CVA will need to be 100% as HMRC can block it otherwise.

I blame the NHS - without cures for ricketts, TB, measles, & cholera, natural selection would have pruned back this particularly branch of human evolution. 8 kids may have been born, but only 1 or 2 would survive beyond the first 4 years of life.

JB, FYI I have not yet made up my mind who to vote for - but I have decided on a few that I WON'T be voting for, ( including the Tories ). As you have no doubt read & understood my posting, you will appreciate that the point I was making is that any such scheme will almost inevitably lead to the same old type of self-promoting, "I know what's best", arrogance taking the fore. It is a rant against anybody seeking to gain a little more personal power and influence, rather than demonstrating an altruistic desire to better society as a whole; a microcosm of exactly what is going wrong at the national level. This manifesto pledge is aimed squarely and simply at lower middle-class swing voters, the type that Bremner Bird & Fortune lampoon in their dinner party sketches.

Which parents do you think will put themselves forward to run things ? It's bad enough with some of the Parent Governers currently in post under the current system; they are just as self-serving and egotistical as those in elected office in regional and national authorities. This may be 'local democracy in action', but it's also another step onto the gravy train, and opportunity for those who are arrogant enough to think they know how things have to be run to start building their personal power base.
