I was searching for the first instance of the use of the TM after Religion of Peace, wikipedia led me to this site
and this video

More experts®
Reports of possible kidnap of British Muslim soldier as breaking news
Old news regarding reluctance of muslims to join the army, and our Experts® spend £90million trying to recruit them because, presumably, it seemed a good idea to them; fucking hell I would have 'flagged up' a problem like this for £90 if anyone had asked.
More thoughts;
"The campaign, which included activity days and promoted the use of headscarves for female Muslim soldiers, hoped to target 1,200 new recruits by April 2007."
£90,000,000 /1,200 recruits = £75,000 per sign up ! .... how much was body armour per soldier? Brave men dying because the money was spent on fucking nonsense like headscarves for muslim women soldiers, just who's fucking stupid fucking idea was this.... and why is the stupid cunt still in a job. Who the fuck authorises the spending of our fucking money on such multicult fucking nonsense and likewise why is that cunt still in a job?

UKIP, work to be done.
I have mentioned UKIP before, this morning on my wanderings through the blogs I read every day I left a comment at the Kitchen, as follows;
" My mission in life is to "work a few fucks" into those that need a few fucks worked into them; without fear or favour. I joined UKIP two weeks ago and what did I get, welcome note? nope, membership card? nope, receipt for money paid? nope, acknowlegement? nope, request to be a party activist in my area? nope. I have just phoned the regional office and have been told it is due to pressure of new membership applications. I have suggested they put a note to that effect on the (piss poor) website and make a plus of it instead of the minus of seeming to ignore new recruits.
I wonder how long that will take."
I have got answers back straight away from DK and Trixy on DK's site and have had comments left on my previous posting,.... thankyou all..... but the problem is general and not specific to me. UKIP really must get that website sorted, we live in interesting times and I suspect an election is not too far off. This little interchange has shown how effective blogging and the associated comments can be. If UKIP, especially Westbury Constituency, needs any help with campaigning or day to day work that I can help with then leave a comment on this blog, I'll make a post 'Sticky' to stay at the top of the page.
I get totally pissed off with politicians and experts as regular readers may have spotted.
I maybe a cynical old bastard but I am a cynical old bastard with a vote, and I hope, the ability to attract more to the cause of decent government than those I will put off by my more robust way of expressing myself. I am also a cynical old bastard who is willing to do some work to change things rather than sit on my arse moaning.
I have mentioned my political hero Cobbett, in a previous post, he was willing to get off his arse, or to get his arse onto a horse and go and see what the people wanted.
Today, any party that tries to give the mass of the population what they want is immediately decried by the fucking chattering classes as being 'populist'; look you cunts, democracy is about what the majority want not what you fuckers think they should make do with... populism should not be an insult to hurl around to protect your fucking twee little idealised world.
Democracy is the counting of heads irrespective of contents, If the majority of the electorate want out of europe, then out we should go; If the majority want no more mass immigration then it should be stopped. The chattering classes may twitter about the economy, but the common man on the street might say fuck 'the economy' it is all based on debt and house prices anyway... I want my country back, and if I'm going to be poorer then ,fine,.. I'll be poor....but poor and independent,... poor and free, poor and free in my own country that will stay recognisably as my country, ..poor and able to express an opinion without the fucking state supported thought police terrorists bursting through the door if I'm silly enough to remark that I'm not too struck with the idea of a bloke being up some other bloke's arse, or to suggest that different races exist and that some races have different characteristics.
Let's get moving, the whole edifice of Nulab is about to tumble because its foundation was built on lies, bullshit, mire and corruption ;Cameron is using airy fairy rubbish for his foundations, BNP are saying a lot that needs to be brought out into the arena for discussion.
Let us get a party that speaks for the ordinary Englishman and will let an ordinary Englishman speak and let us do it quickly.

Global Warming Bollocks pt1
I popped into the Kitchen and see that Newmania raises a few questions about global warming, one of which I want to comment on.
"Why is the fact that the doomsday predictions of climatologists are often disproved ignored. For example James Hansen in 1988 told the US Congress in 1988 that the sea would rise several feet by 2000. It rose one inch ?"
A good question, I spend quite a bit of time near the sea and need to know about tides to plan my fishing trips. I know a little bit about the sea. It is a fucking huge big blue wobbly thing that goes up and down. You have tides that make the level go up and down 7.4 metres at one place I might fish today and 1.1 metres at another. Waves make the sea go up and down and you have the wind that may or may not add to the tide by blowing in one direction or another, you have atmospheric pressure which varies across the globe which pushes down on the sea surface to a greater or larger extent. You have the density/volume change of the water depending on temperature and/or salinity and you have the 'hydraulic jump' effect in fast flowing rip tides. Evaporation is taking place, it is raining at places all around the globe, ice is melting or forming at other places . Rivers are pouring water, mud and silt into the sea and dust is falling into it. The land is moving under the sea as tectonic plates move, water or lava is extruded or faults open up. I read somewhere that sea level is much higher on one end of the Panama Canal than it is at the other though I can't be arsed to find the link now. I think I can say that sea level is a very complex idea.... yet some cunt of an expert can say that sea level has risen ONE INCH ! for fuck's sake how fucking stupid do you think we are. So Mr Expert you can measure the surface level of all of this sea, all over the world, make allowance for all of the variables and tell me it has moved one fucking inch! Total bollocks Sir, I don't fucking believe you. You, I think, are a silly cunt more suited to be a politician than a scientist.

Slave conditions in rural Wiltshire.
Pythouse Wiltshire.Tony Blair recently apologised for my ancestor's involvement in slavery, if the ignorant fucker had known any history of England, he might have known which side of slavery my ancestors were on and apologised to me, but of course only black people have ever been ill-used.
Aug. 28th to 30th, 1826: Down the valley of the Avon in Wiltshire. In taking my leave of this beautiful vale, I have to express my deep shame, as an Englishman, at beholding the general extreme poverty of those who cause this vale to produce such quantities of food and raiment. This is, I verily believe it, the worst used labouring people upon the face of the earth . Dogs and hogs and horses are treated with more civility; and as to food and lodging, how gladly would the labourers change with them! This state of things never can continue many years! By some means or other there must be an end to it; and my firm belief is that that end will be dreadful. In the meanwhile I see, and I see it with pleasure, that the common people know that they are ill used; and that they cordially, most cordially, hate those who ill-treat them
.*William Cobbett, Rural Rides
Agricultural workers in South Wilts and Dorset were earning seven shillings a week, half that when laid off work in the winter. There was little or no other work to do.The 'poor' mill workers of Lancashire were earning twelve to fourteen shillings a week About four years later, in 1830, labourers rose up in the 'Swing Riots': Disaffected workers, who saw farm mechanisation taking what little work there was away from them,roamed the countryside smashing machines and fought a pitched battle with Hindon Yeomanry Cavalry at Pythouse, Benett (owner of the estate) was knocked unconscious, one rioter was shot dead and another 29 taken prisoner and conveyed to Fisherton Gaol. Benett rode behind them and wouldn't let them stop for water. A farm labourer who witnessed their journey later wrote:
"We had to get our farm horses and wagons and take them to Salisbury - and the blood did trickle out of the wagons the whole way to Salisbury. When we got to Blackhorse at Chilmark they did cry out for summat to drink, poor fellows, but the cavalry wouldn't let them have nothing. It was awful cold night and they were most shramm'd with the frost and some on `em couldn't wag a bit. When we got to Salisbury we took one load to 'firmary and t'others to jail."
William Cobbett was a bit of a rarity for a politician, he actually conversed with ordinary working people; pity that never caught on.
PS. Beyond the shed in the right middle ground of the picture, in front of the trees on the skyline, for a while in the 1950's, was a rabbit hole containing socialist propaganda.

Bugger, I should have cleaned the place up.
You know what it's like, you're slumming about , dirty coffee cups scattered about, old newspapers crumbs and suchlike all over the carpet and you have a visitor ! Oh dear, the embarassment..... if I had known he would be calling I would have hastily collected up all the fucks and bundled them under the nearest cushion and furtively kicked all the cunting and cunts under the setee where they could not be seen.
I am sorry Your Grace, I did not think you visited the dwellings of humble peasants, may I say in mitigation that The Lord Jesus was a carpenter ( and in those times a carpenter was what we would call a builder today) and would have been fluent in building site language. As further mitigation; I go fishing, and going fishing with His mates was one of His recorded leisuretime activities.
His Grace might muse upon the following,as a Christian of the more 'robust' sort shall we say, I have never been much persuaded by the "gentle Jesus meek and mild" school of thought that has us in such a twitter about our culture being taken over by the Mohammedans.
I recall the story of the moneylenders in the temple ( we used to learn that sort of thing at school ) and cannot conjure up a vision of the "gentle Jesus meek and mild" being very effective in the matter. I can however envisage a builder "kicking ass" ( as people in our American colonies so quaintly express it ) and chucking them all out very effectively, probably with accompanying builders type soundtrack (but this is not recorded)... there is also no record of the moneylenders returning after their asskicking.

Government Experts®
Back in late 1999 there was all sorts of fucking nonsense spouted by Government Experts® about the calamity about to befall us because of the Millenium bug, remember this ?
What a load of fucking nonsense from a bunch of stupid fuckwitted cunts masquerading as experts, ......'washing machines will fail'...... for fuck's sake my washing machine doesn't give a toss whether it's Friday afternoon or a week next fucking Tuesday: it is a washing machine not a fucking calender ! These fuckers, an unholy alliance of politicians and experts® managed to spend £400million plus of our fucking money for fuck all. Any computer nerd/12 year old boy would have been able to give better advice.... if they had been asked.
Laymans language , don't be fucking daft it doesn't matter you daft cunts. Cost Zero
Experts language.... consider the implications of
factor in research costs of shitloads of taxpayers money and pretending to be busy for fucking ages, crossing fingers behind back, fuck me this is really serious but we reckon £400million plus should about cover it.
Millenium Dome, Government Experts® predicted value for money and a great experience.... for fuck's sake a fucking tent in some fucking skanky part of a fucking skanky city. Total fucking waste of our money, must be about £1,000 million by now. Now going to be a casino because some yank has greased a few palms (and maybe other bits, after all politicians are involved ).
Diana Memorial, a bargain at only £3.6million, sorted by experts®, what a fucking fiasco; mind you a dirty fucking concrete ditch is a fitting reminder of that thick slapper; don't get me wrong, I'm sorry she died... it was surely getting to be my turn to shag her, everyone else was: People's Princess..fuck off, posh blokes' bike more like.
Now we have more fucking Government Experts® hawking their Stern Report shite,
fuck right off, yes now ! you useless, lying, scheming, thieving, taxwasting cunts,we don't believe you, not one fucking word.

Curriculum review.
I have just downloaded the pdf document, Diversity and Citizenship Curriculum Review, 126 pages to plough through before I can swear fully at this Britishness thing;
but....page 2 sets the scene.... remember we are talking Britishness here, to be taught in English schools... the review group members are ;
Sir Keith Ajegbo.
Dr Dina Kiwan
and Seema Sharma.
Let's check the surnames against the British Surname Profiler
for 1881..............Hmmmmm, well I'm buggered, just as I thought, these are just the people to talk of our culture and tradition.
I'd complain to the Commission for Racial Equality but that would be a bit of a fucking waste of time because I see a slight problem there too, 7 out of 15 of dusky hue to represent, what's the current guess, 8 percent (?) of the population, yep that's about as equal as the Race Relations Industry likes it.
What have these NuLab cunts done to our England... and why did, and why do, we let the fuckers do it ?

Information relating to a haddock
The haddock courting noises start as slow knocks and turn into a quicker hum that sounds similar to a small motorcycle revving its engine.
Not these days, I'm now like the collie that chases cars, instinct tells you that you have to chase but you do wonder what the fuck to do with it if you do manage to catch one.

Tolerance
My family have lived in this area for many, many generations, forgive me if I think of it as my country. This is a view from Win Green, near Ludwell in the very south west of Wiltshire, standing about 900 feet (277 metres) above sea level, looking north. Most of my ancestors lived in the area overlooked from here to the horizon and were agricultural labourers, carters, shepherds, woodland workers and blacksmiths, all of them working close to the land. In about 1815, one chap went off and married a lass from Yorkshire, my great,great,great,great,great grandmother, but we try to keep this quiet. Apart from her and a couple of others born out of county, to Wiltshire folk who had moved across the border into Hampshire and who later returned, all of my ancestors that I have traced so far are from Wiltshire.
I think I have a right to voice an opinion on what happens to my village, my county and my country. I have a right to be asked what I want when decisions are taken that affect my country. I shall resist any attempt to make it someone elses country with their religion, their culture and their customs.
This sets the scene for what I have to say in my next post which is like to be a tad sweary..

tolerance
From the BBC
"Mr Johnson said: "The current debate over Big Brother has highlighted the need to make sure our schools focus on the core British values of justice and tolerance."
These core values used to be taught......we used to call it religious education.... and we were all taught the core beliefs of a Christian country.
In other news I read that a muslim woman police officer will not shake hands with a male.... I doubt she will want to be a dog handler either. Her attitude cannot be said to be very tolerant of our customs and traditions.
As you may imagine, I have more to say on the subject but fuck it for now; the sun is shining and I'm off to the coast for a few hours fishing.

Feeling mellow
I've just been out for a little drive around, what a beautiful county I live in.Perhaps you can understand why I don't want politicians to spoil it or give it away.

Poll re. Question Time
Theo Spark has a poll on his site,
"There are those who are underate the power of blogs, I have therefore launched a poll of those people who would like to see a blogger on 'Question Time'. Please vote my ego needs it!!!"
I would like to see several bloggers on the panel, including perhaps DK and Mr E and a hundred other bloggers there instead of the hand picked lefties they usually pack the audience with. Now that would be fun.

Asylum ? we live in one.
Iain Dale draws attention to this case mentioned by the Boris person in the Telegraph;
where a man of British descent must go back to possible, or should we say probable, murder by a racist lunatic's gang of thugs or 'veterans'
compare and contrast with this from the Mail
whereas a foreign piece of shit probably must stay because of his fucking 'rights'
Fucking outrageous, for fucks sake let Jade run the Home Office, she might be marginally more clever than the useless cunts who come and go in that post!

Lifeboats
please have a look at this site ,
the blogger says he is "a Yorkshire man to the bones (like a Scotsman but with the streak of generosity removed)".
A site that shows more sensitivity than one would expect from someone brave enough to endure seas like we saw yesterday..... and to face those dangers through choice and a sense of duty.
Gentlemen and ladies of the RNLI; I take my hat off to you
Why do civil servants and political wasters get honours and not these guys and lasses?

wind energy,a waste of breath
On my daily jaunt past the castle (pausing briefly to tug my forelock, being a more humble chap myself) I note that the occupant mentions wind power. Now that is another load of bollocks that I could get cross about. Why are engineers and technicians never asked about things ? Today the wind is blowing fit to take the turf off the roof of my rude abode, wind energy produced in the UK today ? probably four fifths of fuckall; wrong sort of wind you know..... meanwhile all around us the sea is piling up in fucking humungus lumps of energy that is not tapped.
Ask an engineer and he will tell you that when you see grain and feed milling companies rushing out to build windmills then that's the time to follow suit.
There is a lot of confusion about science and engineering, people say that science got man to the moon; well yes, but Newton had the science back in the 17th century, in fact rocket science is one of the easier sciences, rocket engineering, now that can be a right bugger to sort out. Wind energy is fickle, wind turbines an offence to the eye and a desecration of our countryside; the decision makers love them but there are probably no engineers among them.
This country needs nuclear energy, lots of it, then research into other sources of energy for vehicles, research into oil/gas from coal and shales then tell the arabs to keep their fucking oil and medieval ways to themselves. Objections will be fucking deafening; the way to go forward ?... tell them all to shut up and fuck off, we have listened to the tree huggers, the nimby cunts, the greenpiece fucking fraudsters, friends of the earth charlatans and all their ragbag following, but from now on we will listen to people who know what they are fucking talking about.

sticks and stones
I have just been watching what passes for news on news24, what a fucking load of tosh over Big Brother., and just the sort of thing these vaccuous shitstirring fuckers at the BBC relish. I am now hoping that this fucking milksop government have seen sense and sent that young chap DK over as an ambassador to sort things out as a bit of straight talking is needed.
When I was young there was a traditional response to anyone whingeing that someone had called them a name, and "sticks and stones may break your bones but names will never hurt you" was that response. In other words get over it and get on with your life and be thankful that you suffered no physical hurt.
I'm just fucking well fed up by reports of total cunts being so fucking upset by things. Racial hatred ? what about racial 'not really fucking bothered although I'd rather be with people like me', racial bit miffed, racial a bit cross really when I think of it, but no, any comment viewed as racist must be hatred. 'Fury' erupts over display of gollywog, oh dear oh fucking dear; I can see a 'cabbage patch kid' doll that vaguely resembles a white child without going into paroxysms of fucking foaming rage that it is stereotyping a race. Even that ugly fucking minger on big brother hasn't complained and they were modelled on her.
Bollywood minor fucking celebrity agrees to be shut up in a house for ages with other fucking nonentities and gets upset by a fat fucking fuckwit of a model for a famous Viz cartoon strip, the fact that this slapper cannot make any consonant sounds in her slackjawed approach to English is no fucking barrier to people taking umbrage about the 'offensive' remarks heard. Grow up the fucking lot of you, especially the sad cunts that watch such fucking rubbish.
Why is it that spontaneous displays of fury by these soft skinned fuckers have all the props to hand? for example the danish cartoon incident and the burning of flags, where the fuck would you get a danish flag in a spontaneous manner; I live in a first world country (well Wiltshire which is nearly civilised) but would be fucking hard pressed to find a danish flag except on-line and waiting a week for delivery. When the begging bowl comes round these buggers are said to be earning fuckall a fortnight and are starving yet they can afford to waste money on burning flags (£7.50 +delivery). The bit I saw on the news had people burning effigies and displaying posters, now I would have to drive 10 miles (but probably 25) to buy large sheets of yellow card and large felt tip markers to make a sign like that.... do all these third world countries have local shops for this eventuality?.....with a big sign on the side saying "this is a Local Shop for Local Rioters".
UPDATE
I have just been reading about the caste system of Hindus in India, bugger me, and these people are calling others racist.
So DK if you are reading this.... get it sorted, there's a good chap; it just needs a few words from you....... you know which words.

I've had enough of Cameron's bloody nonsense.
My Dad was a socialist when I was a lad, a card carrying Labour man.(Although being staunch labour he hated and despised miners, "only buggers to strike in both world wars the selfish greedy bastards."). We went to labour party parties which confused me at that age. My first political memories are of being sent out with my big brother to deliver leaflets around the village and outlying area. I was 5 years old, my brother 7; we delivered to those houses nearby but, boys being boys, we found other things to interest us and as light faded the leaflets were tightly rolled and pushed down a rabbit hole. If anyone wants to know why Churchill returned to power in October 1951 and why there are socialist rabbits in South Wiltshire, it was me am I'm not sorry.
As a student in the 60's I cheered as Wilson grabbed power and looked forward to his famous first 100 days.... 101 days later I grew up.
In the 70's I voted Conservative (remember them ?) and voted against the Common Market. In the last Euro election I voted UKIP but have voted Conservative in local and general elections ever since the Wilson fiasco. I used to admire that chap who used to be William Hague, in spite of him being yorkshire ( Dad used to refer to yorkshiremen as duckeggs .....in that you occasionally find a good'un ); the chap who used to be William Hague was pleasantly eurosceptic and put the boot into Blair in a very satisfying manner.
Later in his life, Dad was forced to admit his admiration for Margaret Thatcher over the Falklands and the miners strike, I think he was pleased to find someone who shared his views on miners.
The years since that chap who used to be William Hague bottled out after his defeat have been a disaster, I've been waiting for a real leader and what do we get... a load of bloody wet silly pretend leaders. The latest.... well I just can't be bothered to lay about him now,it would be like kicking a puppy, anyway he makes himself look a bigger prat than anything I could write here.
The latest bloody nonsense about fat licences/trading which I saw over on DK was the final straw; so bad luck UKIP, you now have me as a member, signed up and paid up.

At last, perhaps they read blogs
From the UKIP site;
"A major redesign of this website is being undertaken. We recognise the importance of the site for its presentation of the party and the new site will have an improved appearance and easier navigation. The new site should be in operation during March 2007".
Hoo-bloody-ray, about time too.

Education Part Three. Advisory warning, read after 9:00pm watershed
I once saw an old fellow on television talking about his self-taught skill of carving animals from driftwood: When asked how he managed to carve such realistic animals, he said that to carve, say, an otter was easy; all you had to do was cut away all the bits that didn't look like an otter.
What I have tried to do in previous posts is to hack away at the fucking rubbish and dross that has attached itself to educating our children. There is a bit more basic axe work to be done before we can see what is left inside.
Let us have a look at "In Service Training" or inset. These were/are days put aside for boring the arse off of sentient beings, a vehicle for promoting the latest fucking wierd ideas from the twats at Cunty Hall or House of Common Fuckwits.
I once had to endure an afternoon being lectured at by a rabid fucking illiterate ginger fair skinned pikey on diversity and the travelling community; what a wanker, a fucking mick of the 'got a bit of tarmac left over' persuasion claiming to be a Romany and to have a culture, for fucks sake. I suppose him being there all afternoon meant that he was kept off the streets for the duration and for that we should be grateful. I did question him on his genetic makeup having known a few genuine (and decent) traditional romany and diddycoy kids during my childhood where and when they were accepted as just other local people,(though admittedly a bit odd) . It was a bit like a Bateman Cartoon scenario "the man who" with all the fucking knitted stocking and handwoven shawl brigade of trendy teachers having fits of the vapours and twittering among themselves. Even some of the 'never married' brigade of male teachers waved limp wrists and looked close to swooning. Fuck them, truth is truth, if he wants to follow the Romany way of life then fuck off and whittle some clothes pegs or something else honourable, not peddle bullshit to supposedly intelligent people who should be back at their schools teaching.
I have already mentioned the 'Industrial experience' fiasco, on the same scale of cuntishness we had a visit from a 'Stress Consultant', In those days even smokers were considered part of society and smoking was permitted, by popular vote, in the common room; this haridan of an adviser came in and immediately demanded that we all stop smoking because she was newly pregnant and that.... you know... the poor fucking sprog will be born deformed etc etc..... we thought it was a wind-up as part of a sodding role-play timewaste but no, fuck me, she was serious.... stress management, for fuck's sake.
For anyone needing a quiet couple of days if able to endure the mind-numbing tedium, there was the two day course on something like 'a whole school approach to special needs' where the most boring of teachers in the Local Authority area were sent to present views and arrange 'workshops' for those poor fuckers who had got the wrong side of a deputy head or were looking to build up a CV to escape from their current school in the hope of greener grass elsewhere. I remember latin lessons that had the same effect, the drone of a voice, random sounds from the world outside the window, distant shouts from the cricket field and the certain drowsy knowledge that you were falling asleep, retribution would follow but you just do not care.... ahhhh sleep. At the end of the 'course' it was your duty to file a report and put it in a box labelled reports where it would be seen only by the unfortunate filing the next report. Waste of fucking time.
Workshops ! now that's the stuff; collect a dozen people, pay some cunt from another planet to come and entertain by role play by which you will generate ideas, find your inner self, etc etc; you won't, you will just be another fucking unfortunate caught up in the training industry. These fuckers that call themselves trainers are paid good money that could be spent on proper workshops. The best thing to do is this situation is to say, look, I'm a fucking grown up, I will learn nothing by building a fucking castle out of balloons and cardboard, I will learn nothing from that bunch of career handwringing cunts that you have put me with and thrive on this sort of fucking fuckwitity, so I'm off out to have a fag and calm down. It is not the best thing to do regarding your career prospects.
Workshops, you bunch of fucking trendies, is where work is done, real work with real tools by real people producing real wealth for a nation. Fucking playacting talking-shop timewasting wishful thinking fucking limpwristed treehugging do-gooding collections of looser cunts guided by fucking wierdos is not a workshop, it is akin to the House of Commons , a waste of fucking time.
Many schools had workshops that were kitted out for metal casting, forging, metal and wood machining, vehicle maintenence; there were rooms where dressmaking was taught, real flats within the schools where real life housekeeping skills were taught, kitchens where generations of people learned to cook. Nearly all gone, ripped out to cater for trendy Technology teaching, pure fucking wickedness and waste. Teachers who knew what the equipment was... nearly all gone, what a fucking stupid fucking thing we have allowed to happen.
Teaching in a real workshop highlights the problems of integration of special needs pupils into normal class groups; you have a 16 year old hulk of a fucking feral loony sitting at a workbench stabbing the bench with a large sharp chisel and has large mallets and hammers close to hand and is ignoring everything you say to him, you remonstrate with him... all the time in the back of your mind you have the theory that a paper cut is the worst thing... no it is fucking well not, where did that fucking stupid idea come from ?
Design and Technology, what a wasted opportunity. The simple minded cunts that put the curriculum together think of design as in 'designer label' and think that all children can do it, fucking crap nonsense. Children off wasting time doing 'surveys' as part of the 'market research' phase of design... little girls near to tears because they want to make perhaps a fluffy toy lion but their 'research' indicates that the bear idea is more popular, I found that my placing a host of ticks in the lion box restored a cheery smile and the child's faith in the inherrent sanity of the real world. They valued my research input and I used to have queues of them as word got around. The first action of the teacher charged with 'enabling a whole school approach to technology teaching' was to issue each teacher with a nice new class set of little 'safe' scissors, fucking brilliant just the sort of technology we needed. He was as much use as a fucking one-legged man in an arse kicking contest.
My introduction to a computer was back in the mid-eighties, I first sat in front of one during teacher's training, the Professor of Education said "boot it up", for fuck's sake what did that mean, where in the English language does this word boot occur ? I had no idea what he was talking about and said so, believing that to teach effectively one should judge the level at which to pitch your language and teaching. This fucker just looked blankly and could not understand that I did not know what he meant and tried to make me look foolish. The cunt, there are a lot like him in educational training/teaching, lazy workshy fuckers who delivered only about 60 percent of timetabled lectures, dishonest lazy cunts, I don't suppose anyone handed back the 40 percent of their salary that he did not earn.
'We haven't got the resources' what fucking nonsense, fucking silly nonsense. You keep wasting money, it is shovelled in in wholesale fucking job-lot quantities, the technical term being fucking shitloads. Ministers talk of investment in education, a small amount is invested and produces a return; much is just fucking waste. Kids used to be taught in front of blackboards, the teacher used chalk and teaching skills. Now you have fucking humungous plasma fucking screens, electronic whiteboards fucking great whizzytech things costing a fucking fortune. Broken windows, can't afford to repair them; damp classroom, can't do anything... you fucking well will when the damp ruins your expensive toy or some chav comes through the broken windows to steal it. Get some fucking chalk at pence per packet and spend your money on things that matter not things to impress you dopey fuckwits.
Get rid of the department budget, you have to spend it all by the end of the year or your money will be cut next year.... what a fucking way to go on, needless stuff bought and not used so that if you need something important next year you will have the money; carry the unspent money forward a year... not a fucking hope, we don't do it that way. Bunch of silly fuckers.
The biggest money waste of all, early retirement on 'health grounds', what a fucking scam. I tried earning a living doing supply teaching, you get regular work at a school which then dries up, Ms A has retired early as cannot possibly teach any more, health don'tcha know, nerves shot away.... and fuck me she was back teaching at the start of the next term taking my supply work ... early retirement,fucking thieving by another name, gaining money by deception .... and we try to teach morals to our kids.
Nearly done with the axe work now, just another session on what is taught and then some sanding down and finishing touches to what is appearing out of the lump that I've been hacking away at.
Just one little story to finish with.
When doing my teachers training course, one particlarly strident feminist and all around bossy-britches-know-it-all was always late for lectures and would burst in partway through interupting everything and annoying us all. One day she announced loudly upon entering that a big black man was hammering dementedly at her bedroom door and consequently she was late, my suggestion that she should have let him out and come to the lecture on time did nothing for our already strained relationship.

Mrs Gadd, hypocrite
Mrs Gadd akaRuth Kelly has said that she wants the best education for her son; she was charged as a Minister to make sure everyone's son and daughter had the best education. She failed and should apologise and resign.
I have mixed feelings about dyslexia, (for people who can't read very well it is a very silly word, even I have trouble spelling it); I go along with Thora Hird in an Alan Bennett monologue in which which, I think, she said .....'of course we didn't have dyslexia in those days, they were called remedial and they sat at the back doing raffia-work.'
I used to know someone who failed English Language GCE 14 times, and that was when I last saw him about 40 years ago, getting the pass was a condition of acceptance to his ONC course in Engineering, also HND and Masters Degree, all of which he had passed: I do hope he passes it one day it will go nicely with his Masters. In those days of course there was no one/nothing to blame, you just had to get on with life and deal with your problems yourself.

Education Part Two, Advisory warning, read after 9:00pm watershed
From his castle the occupant, a certain Englishman, lobs this into the melee concerning education of our little ankle-biters.
Personalised education 'is way forward for schools'
Alexandra Frean, Education Editor
"Pupils would be able to choose what they study, ask each other for help in answering questions, mark their own work and grade their teachers’ performance under ambitious government plans to tailor education to the needs of individual children and young people."
To quote another blogger, sorry I cannot remember who but it has a hint of DK about it
"Like a blind lesbian in a fishmonger, it's difficult to know where to start."
Do people write this fucking nonsense just to wind me up ? Are the rest of you in on the joke and are you now shaking with laughter, rolling about clutching your sides thinking.. Oh fucking hell Haddock is going to go fucking ballistic on this one." Did Alexandra Frean not think to herself, as she wrote the piece, oh bollocks I'm going to get a proper job if I have to trot out this trite horseshit just once more.
Traditional grades or marks would go, to be replaced by “feedback”, where the teacher would suggest what steps a pupil could take to improve performance. Pupils would be entered for exams as soon as they were ready to take them, rather than wait until they reached a certain age.
When I was at school in the 50's we had feedback where teachers would suggest "what steps a pupil could take to improve performance".... they also were very clear that a good clout, rap on the knuckles, a kick up the arse or a few swipes of a cane would ensue if said improved performance did not materialise depending on the level of improvement that was being negotiated.. I took and passed a couple of GCEs in the 4th form or year 10 as it is now known( for you younger readers they were the Capstan Full Strength of the exam world not like the girly fucking Silk Cut Mild of todays GCSE). What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.(Ecclesiastes 1:9-14 NIV) I suppose if marks and grades have become so degraded by the everyonemustwin cunts they may as well go like anything else 'Traditional' under this bunch of tossers
Catch-up classes for those who trail behind and extra tuition for the brightest pupils are also recommended in a review of personalised learning published today.
As usual, the mass of ordinary normal kids in the middle will get fuck all; while people fall over themselves to help the divs, the disabled, the sporty types and the clever; your normal middle of the road, uncomplaining but hardworking kid will get by with fuck all help from the teacher, just as they do now. It used to make me mad as fuck that I seldom had time for them as my time was taken up by scrotes who should have been drowned perhaps at birth probably by the time they got their first sovereign ring and certainly before they get their first Burberry cap/child.
The review, written by Christine Gilbert before her recent appointment as head of Ofsted, sets out the Government’s vision for schooling by 2020. It aims to stop some children falling behind by replacing a “one size fits all” approach to teaching with one designed to fit the needs of each child.
You may be wondering who is this genius, it's OK, don't panic Christine Gilbert was appointed solely on merit, no mumblings about another fucking nulab minister's wife getting the old snout further into the trough, don't be so fucking cynical, anyway this one doesn't look as much of a fucking minger as many do.
At the centre is a relentless focus on “keeping up”, through regular assessments and individual target-setting. This could involve grouping children according to attainment, not age. There would also be surveys of pupil and parental satisfaction to ensure a shared understanding of each pupil’s goals.
Sorry, fuck me... have I missed something here ? Just which particular bunch of cunts relentlesly focuses on assessments and targets......? Oh I remember, it's the nulab bunch of cunts, one of which is Mrs Tony McNulty's husband.( no cronyism to see here, move along now nothing to see) When I was teaching you could get a quick fag in the metals store room by sending your little thugs/pupils/stars out "to do a survey" as required by the national curriculum; some teachers used to send them off to town for hours at a time on the same mission. One pupil ended up with a Certificate to say that he understood the principles of town planning on the basis of these shoplifting jaunts; he was one of a twin and was so fucking stupid that he used to forget which one he was, he couldn't count his balls and get a consistent answer. So let's have a few surveys, it is not as if we all know fucking well what our kids need to learn is it ? I said on another Blog that Hazel Blears needed a fucking good hoofing up the cleft; add this dozy bitch to the list.
Alan Johnson, the Education Secretary, emphasised that personalised learning did not involve teaching each child differently. It meant involving each child in its own learning.
Alright Alan, got that, personal does not mean for each individual.... don't be such a fuckwit ! such a comment is fuckwittedly stupid even for a master fuckwit with a fuckingfuckwit diploma. I won't even bother to comment on It meant involving each child in its own learning. For fuck's sake did you really mean to say that? My brain hurts.
He said: “Many disadvantaged pupils are bright and talented but lose interest or motivation. We need to make sure that no one is left behind at any point - from the most gifted and talented children at the top of the class to the uninterested child at the back.”
It's what we in the trade called total fucking bollicking waffle, Do they honestly think that all this fucking nonsense will improve matters ? total fucking wankers the lot of them.
Jim Knight, the Schools Minister, said that the personalised classroom would look very different. “[It] might involve ‘traffic-light cards’ to show if they are confident they understand - and asking those who show ‘green’ to explain to those who show ‘red’,” he said.
How many more of these cunts are there!!? I think that they have they got Terry Pratchet in as an advisor and fail to understand his sense of humour.
Personalised learning has long been an objective, and one that has become more urgent with the widening of the gap between pupils who perform best and worst. Yet the focus on standards, national testing and the perceived inflexibility of the national curriculum have made it difficult to achieve.
I would advise personal learning for any child, keep your child at home and educate him/her yourself , be assured that if years of state education cannot blight all children sufficiently to render them unemployable, your efforts will be just fine.
Today’s report notes that “many pupils still report that their experience of school is marked by long periods of time listening to teachers or copying from the board or a book”.
Oh dear Oh dear ! That is how people have learned for years/decades/millenia. I learned writing using a little blackboard and chalk.... but I did have good teachers,,, and they did have a good system and they were allowed to get on and teach without interference from fucking mongs from Whitehall.
It suggests “learning conversations” with teachers so that pupils get into the habit of thinking about their learning and how to make progress. It also suggests that all pupils be allocated a “learning guide” - a teacher or classroom assistant to monitor their progress.
Oh just fuck off and stop being fucking silly, what do you think good teachers do now ?
Teaching unions gave the report a guarded welcome.
Go On out, Off you fuck! and stop being fucking silly while you are about it.
Personalised education 'is way forward for schools'
Alexandra Frean, Education Editor
"Pupils would be able to choose what they study, ask each other for help in answering questions, mark their own work and grade their teachers’ performance under ambitious government plans to tailor education to the needs of individual children and young people."
To quote another blogger, sorry I cannot remember who but it has a hint of DK about it
"Like a blind lesbian in a fishmonger, it's difficult to know where to start."
Do people write this fucking nonsense just to wind me up ? Are the rest of you in on the joke and are you now shaking with laughter, rolling about clutching your sides thinking.. Oh fucking hell Haddock is going to go fucking ballistic on this one." Did Alexandra Frean not think to herself, as she wrote the piece, oh bollocks I'm going to get a proper job if I have to trot out this trite horseshit just once more.
Traditional grades or marks would go, to be replaced by “feedback”, where the teacher would suggest what steps a pupil could take to improve performance. Pupils would be entered for exams as soon as they were ready to take them, rather than wait until they reached a certain age.
When I was at school in the 50's we had feedback where teachers would suggest "what steps a pupil could take to improve performance".... they also were very clear that a good clout, rap on the knuckles, a kick up the arse or a few swipes of a cane would ensue if said improved performance did not materialise depending on the level of improvement that was being negotiated.. I took and passed a couple of GCEs in the 4th form or year 10 as it is now known( for you younger readers they were the Capstan Full Strength of the exam world not like the girly fucking Silk Cut Mild of todays GCSE). What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.(Ecclesiastes 1:9-14 NIV) I suppose if marks and grades have become so degraded by the everyonemustwin cunts they may as well go like anything else 'Traditional' under this bunch of tossers

Education Part One. Advisory warning, read after 9:00pm watershed
I've been reading an essay on education over at the Englishman's castle
which has reminded me of why I wanted to be a teacher in the first place and secondly why I am not a teacher now. The education system is run by fuckwits, at Government level, Local Authority level and at school level. Why is it that every fucking government since the sixties has decided to throw away years of tradition and experience and replace it with wishy-washy trendy 'initiatives' proposed by dopey Guardian reading twats who have but a tenuous grasp of reality. People of centuries past were no less clever than us, less well informed perhaps but no less able to think. Let us have a look at a few tenets of education today.......
*Lessons must engage, entertain and amuse the pupil *..... fuck off, life is not like that; sometimes you have to grit your teeth and get on with some hard work which is not amusing or entertaining in the least. Try some real life, they may as well get used to it while they are young..
*Learning by rote is boring/bad/oldfashioned* Total bollocks, have you heard girls in the playground with their skipping/clapping songs? They will remember minutes of dialogue, with actions, in very little time; boys will be able to tell you the team makeup of many football teams with masses of other detail thrown in.... kids can't learn lists... total horseshit. Years ago I watched a child for hours playing a video game, the sequence of actions/events to be memorised to gain the next level was staggering in learning terms but not at all difficult in gameplaying terms.
*You must negotiate with them* Oh just be fucking sensible, they are children; they don't have these skills that's why they are at school..... duhhh !
*11/12 is the best age to transfer to upper school* I did a lot of research on this, it is a complete fallacy. The relevant Act that brought in secondary education stipulated that age because that was the age at which children previously left school. There is no evidence to suggest it is the best age, quite the contrary there is plenty of evidence to show that learning stalls/slides backwards when children are in year 7. In this area there was a middle school sytsem which worked very well but the dozy cunts have abandoned it, for ideological/cost reasons.
*non academic children will be good with their hands" No they fucking well won't ! A fuckwit is a fuckwit is a fuckwit, with a pen or a chisel. If anyone cared to do some research they would find that those doing well in the 'academic' lessons are most often the ones doing well in what used to be called CDT; the link is so strong I suggest that subjects like that could be used as a diagnostic.... someone doing well in craft/vocational subjects should be doing well in academic strands, if not reasons should be sought as to why not. Following on from this we have.....
*I can't put up a shelf myself tee hee hee* This is said by the right on trendy academic types that gravitate into teaching because the silly, handwringing fucking wasters can't think of anything else to do or are such stupid vapid cunts that they couldn't find employment elsewhere. If you are too fucking stupid to read simple instructions, read a fucking spirit level that doesn't even have any numbers on it to confuse you, mark with a pencil and can't use simple hand tools then a) stop fucking boasting about it b) stop trying to denigrate those who can by putting on this cunting silly charade that you are far too clever to do anything as mundane as putting up a shelf and saying by implication that anyoneone who can put up a shelf is a total mong, not fit to read the Guardian: I have known headmasters in this category, stupid fuckers. c) get out of teaching, you are just too fucking stupid even for teaching.
*we will make a collegiate decision* this is said by headteachers who want teaching staff to work out strategies for teaching/running new initiatives/making the school work. You can make yourself a tad unpopular with one bumptious arrogant shit of a head if you suggest that he is paid a lot of money to do this himself, gets on and earns his shitloads of money so that we don't have to stay on at these boring after-school meetings and can fuck off to the pub. That cunt said he couldn't put up a shelf as well.
*we must get more people into Uni* One simple test... if you say 'yooni' you should not be at one you should stay at home and watch Neighbours which is probably where you picked up this affectation. If you can't pronounce such a long word or can't spell university then fuck off and become a hairdresser or sell stuff in PCWorld. It used to be said that to benefit from university an IQ of 125 was needed; now this government wants more than half of school leavers to go to university. FOR FUCKS SAKE ! it is an indisputable fact that half the population is below average intelligence... THAT'S HOW AVERAGES ARE WORKED OUT. No wonder we have people quite incapable of forming cursive script, (that's joined up writin' if you have a media studies degree) or unable to perform simple arithmetic, whinging that they have a degree but can't find a job. Leading on to...
*we must keep up with developments* NO NO NO! A simple example of this is the cross stroke that now appears on sevens written by the trendy teacher and is passed on to their pupils. They have no fucking clue why they do it, it just 'looks good', it does not you stupid fucking uni-goer it looks fucking stupid. If you were a fucking european type johny foreigner who is not as clever as an Englishman you would write your one to look like an inverted vee with a long upstroke and a slightly longer downstroke, this of course fine as far as it goes and it goes as far as seven where you think 'Oh Merde' I have been a stupid fucker and made my one look like a seven so I shall put zee cross thingy though the downstroke to make it look less like a one. How I wish I was clever like zee English and make a one look like a one and a seven look like a seven.The same vapid cunts are all for modernisation and updating of standards...NO NO NO. A standard is a standard because it is standard.... unchanging ...that's why it's called a standard for fucks sake. Leave standards alone. Think about why you are changing established practice.
*teaching relevance in the real world* Some teachers are such twats, I was told I must attend, on an in-service training day, a factory for a day in order to get an understanding of industry in the 'real world'. I pointed out to this fucking pillock of a deputy head that I had just entered teaching after 24 years in industry and that I had marking to catch up on. I was forced to go on the awayday, I wonder what real world that silly fucker was in, it wasn't the one I inhabit.
Teachers are on a hiding to nothing. Legislation has now produced a generation of untouchables, immune to discipline; it the predictible result of the Anonymity for juveniles, the rise of chav culture, the anti-smacking anti shouting trendies. It is not universally accepted that you should not discipline a child..... an anectdote to illustrate.
Some years ago I stopped to replenish supplies of cigs/chocolate at a motorway service area, a three or four year old child was having a screaming tantrum on the floor whilst the handwringing guardian reading mother tried negotiating with the brat. The queue was a long one and people were a bit pissed off with all the noise, the girl in front of me asked if I would hold her place in the queue while she went to get something she had forgotten, I said fine as long as you hold my place while I go and slap that child..... About twenty people in front of me said,,, 'you can come in here mate' one voice said he'd come with me. Anyway the woman, who was one of those scruffy hippy type that look as if they roll their own tampons, grabbed the child and disappeared - much to everyone's relief.
Teaching can be an absolute joy and the most rewarding thing you can do but has been made next to impossible by government legislation and political correctness.
Perhaps I should stay out of teaching, I'm glad I'm not going to be forced to teach boys that bumming your mate is perfectly acceptable and is, in fact, desirable/compulsory.
Part Two to follow sometime.
