I think you probably do.<br /><br />Even that is now falling apart. Many 'Academies' are struggling because all the cash has been dissipated or pillaged, new school buildings are standing half empty because of a failure to understand and forecast likely demographics etc etc. And Balls and Brown pissing ever more of our money away on damn fool exercises like that saying that they are 'investing' in education. <br /><br />What has this led to? A 40% overproduction of graduates. Where are all these highly qualified people going to end up? MacDonald's flipping burgers? Call centres?
