WHAT THE PAPERS WON'T SAY - PART 1 - 'ONE TENTACLE FROM THE OCTOPUS' CONTROLS WEST SUSSEX

'ONE TENTACLE FROM THE OCTOPUS' CONTROLLED THE FOLLOWING DECISIONS :

1. To axe hot school meals to 64,000 children in 242 state primary schools in West Sussex, without proper Consultation and in defiance of Government Guidelines; which resulted in the ripping out of nearly 242 school kitchens, and 550 'dinner lady' redundancies.

2. To sell off state school playing fields in West Sussex to the 'highest bidder' (eg property developers).

3. To orchestrate the removal of the present Crawley MP from office, during the last General Election in West Sussex.

4. The list is as long as my arm...PFI, Fastway, National Park etc.

Comments:
The people who appear the most sane are often the most insane; and the people who appear the most insane are often the most sane.
 
Is there anyone brave enough out there to challenge Jose ?
 
No, but I could teach him how to put a link into a comment so that a web address does not get truncated and therefore useless :-)
 
Channel 4's "Dispatches" might be of interest tonight (8pm-9pm) - called "Public Service - Private Profit". It's all about PFI in hospitals - eg "Dispatches found on hospital charged £333 by the firm running it, to change a lightbulb" (Argus, "Warning that hospitals may be forced to close/TV Listings", Monday August 14).

So, if we want to know where some, if not all, those missing NHS millions went, watch the programme.

Which brings me neatly on to the NES - National Education Service - in Crawley...or more specifically 'Commander' Forsyth's 'Crawley Schools PFI Project'...

How much is this costing us, the taxpayer ? Please remind me, County Hall...oh, I forgot, you never told me !
 
Well done, Jose. When you can do it, could you tell me. I haven't a clue!
 
Thanks Jose - I'll give it a try, but on first reading it's made my brain hurt !
 
I knew you would get it in the end - well done! Things you learn yourself through trial and error tend to be remembered better, but seriously if you do ever get stuck on questions of HTML just e-mail me. I am always happy to help as I remember getting such help myself in the past.

Long URLs in a comment used to throw out the whole layout of my own blog before I found out how to suppress them.

Now I have to start leaning on Richard to get him to use shorter titles so they don't overflow on the comments page and obscure the first comment...
 
Skuds is quite a nice chap, Jose, unless you talk longer than you should at Crawley Planning Meetings :)
