I never did round to reading the NAO report...must do that at some point. Way behind with my reading.Ministers spent five times the going rate on sites for four new free schools in London, the Evening Standard reveals today. Official figures obtained under Freedom of Information show that £120 million was splurged on just four old buildings to be turned into new schools.
The purchases — which were old university buildings, office blocks and a former Thames Water site — cost over five times the average price of a school site which is £4.9 million.
Is that the proposed building for your Free School?tinyclanger2 wrote:

The critical question will be what is Toshiba's cash pile and their burn rate.
Presumably that is the classroom, centered in 30 acres of prime public land gifted to TC by Michael Gove for said free school.RogerOThornhill wrote:Is that the proposed building for your Free School?tinyclanger2 wrote:

Part of why it has been so powerful – in addition to the other factors which contributed to Brexit, such as inequality and a general sense of economic hopelessness in many parts of the country – is because of its emotional appeal. As Ukip donor Arron Banks admitted, "facts don't work". It plays upon an existing and strong sense of national pride.

The reason we see a drift to the far left and the far right and a rejection of rationalism is that people want to believe that there is an easy solution to their problems. The reality that the world is changing, and not necessarily for the better; and that the nation state is rather limited in what it can do to mitigate that isn't something people want to hear.tinyclanger2 wrote:which is different from any kind of national pride I might have had, because all I feel now is appalled.http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/bre ... 77276.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Anti-fascist liberals are committing arson and beating one another, bigots are openly assaulting Muslims at work, schools are getting shot up and hate crimes have skyrocketed. This sort of stuff is becoming so commonplace that it’s difficult to feign surprise or disgust anymore. It’s become completely entangled in America’s psyche, and no one seems to care.
Like it or not, we’re living in Donald Trump’s America now – and if we want to live in a society where you don’t need to be worried about getting beaten to a pulp just for going on holiday, it looks like we’ve got a whole lot of work to do.
