Here
in the UK we pride ourselves on being a civilised country yet our
elected millionaire representatives are creating an education system
that is tiered according to you place in the class system, a class
system that they rigorously adhere to, it is built into the way they
think. Since this bunch of millionaire parasites came to power, this
country by 2014/15 will have seen, in real terms, a 13% cut in public
spending on education. What this does is create a very high level of
education for those super rich friends of the millionaire cabal in
charge, a second, and lower level of expensive education for the
lower caste, (middle class) and the lowest level of poorly funded
sticking plaster education for the peasants, the “untouchables”,
in this class ridden society that we tolerate.
Dr Bousted, who heads the most moderate of the three teachers'
unions stated: "This Coalition Government's attack on poor
children is a blight upon our conception of ourselves as a
civilised society. They remind me of a former Prime Minister
who said there was no such thing as society." She also
stated that among cuts that had affected the poor were:
A 22 per cent cut in grants to Sure Start centres designed to give the under-fives a good start in life. This has led to the closure of 124 centres;The removal of the ring-fence on funding for school meals at a time when the number of children entitled to free food at school has risen by 110,000;Cuts in local authority funding which have led to one in five councils axing the supply of library books to primary and secondary schools;The withdrawal of education maintenance allowances of up to £30 a week which encouraged poorer students to stay on in post-16 education;A real-terms cut of 13 per cent in public spending on education by 2014-15.
What we should never lose sight of is fact, that
this “deficit reduction” is all to save the bankers and bond
holders from losing any of their ill gotten gains. So on who side does
that put our elected millionaires? Just whose benefit are they
working for, those that they throw into the dustbin of society
through unemployment, decimated health care, underfunded education,
or their millionaire friends the bankers and bond holders who get all
that public money?
Since they believe in, and work at perpetuating a class system, then we have no alternative but to recognise that fact and to engage in earnest in class war.
