Skools on both sides of the Atlantic continue to replace the hard subjects with touchy-feely one's.  Our Brit cousins are studying a new survey which continues down this slippery slope by suggesting that children's personal skills are more important than the traditional three R's history & geography.  Also the survey suggests that children should not be enrolled in skool prior to 6 years old & that test scores be eliminated as they place too much pressure on the tykes.  There are skool districts in the U.S. that have similar curiculums right now so we are both together on this new thinking.  But have no fear as the Indians & Chinese are still teaching the "hard" subjects & will surely carry us into the future.

Our secret weapon is that your Indian and Chinese colonising masters must learn the hard way because otherwise they will not pass the Obama Civil service exams. 
 
All ours have to do is vote Labour.
 
But Mark and The Major nipped up to Manchester today and got the road pricing scheme abolished. That would never happen in California, home of the Prius.
