Last year, if you remember, the sharp idea was that teachers (or people claiming to be teachers) would just heave up at the nearest school and offer their services teaching/grooming the kids there.

BBC Scotland has been peddling that line all week.
Their other assumed fact in the discussion is that schools exist solely to provide childcare for busy working parents.

Later we'll be shocked to discover how few teacher's nearest school is in Easterhouse, Drumchapel, Pollok, Calton, Maryhill.
But since these are likely to be failing schools, they don't matter eh?

It may have brought the country to a standstill, but on the other hand, I left a bottle of white out on the balcony an hour ago and it's beautifully chilled now.

Our bins haven't been emptied in over a week as the lorry can't get to us. It's a disgrace. No wonder we're the laughing stock of the world. Third-world Britain and no mistake.

No, hang on. It's mildly irritating when I notice it. Then I get over it.

Another lot came down today, landing on top of the first lot so for the first time the roads are actually a bit treacherous in places.

This isn't helped by the fact that the inhabitants of the local "executive developments" and gated communities
(We have a couple, I presume one for Celtic and one for Rangers players) have decided to move their prestige motors out of the side streets
and line them up along the nearby A roads (Some kind of easy access thing no doubt).

I was barely able to squeeze last a Porsche 911 that had been thoughtfully abandoned on a roundabout today.

I'm posting here because.
* I'm pissed off in a totally "politics of envy" way.
* It would be an absolute tragedy if an organised car ringing outfit found out.
* It wasn't me whose kids were having fun with keys and sledges on the way to school tomorrow.

Here's what needs to be done:

1 Gritters, snow ploughs and track de-icers should be working during the night, not just during daylight hours.

2 School kids should be advised to walk to school, rather than rely on their parents driving them.

3 Individuals should be responsible for clearing their own pathways (and those of their elderly infirm neighbours) of snow (this is the law in other countries, eg Poland).

4 The Meteorological Office should be fined when they screw up their forecasts.

5 It should be mandatory for everyone (on cold days such as this) to have a bowl of porridge fortified with a tot of whisky or rum for breakfast.

1: They do
2: They are
3: They are
4: What?
5: Yay, let's get pissed!

There's an entire site like this.....seriously!

All that has to be done is for a few water cannon to be brought along to the next student riot. The water cannon should be filled with petrol (gas if you are in the USA), not water, and the crowd sprayed liberally with the petrol.

A senior polcie officer should then address the crowd and inform them, for their own "health and safety", that if they are not off the streets in five minutes he will be dropping a lighted match within their vicinity.

Problem solved!

Spot in, can't see any drawbacks to that (like for instance a discarded cigarette end on the street).

Hmm...so the police not only kill all the students but also create what is in effect a mobile bomb right in the centre of London. Nope, can't see any problems with that whatsoever. Not one.

I know it's not actually from the Mail, but if the DM came to life and wrote a blog....

The sort of people who would be happy with murdering a few hundred protestors would also probably want London destroyed - afetr all, it's the epicentre of multi-culturalist PC Broken Britain.

Not to mention that petrol is pretty toxic anyhow, with or without a lighted match...

Big freeze returns tonight with 8in of snow and temperatures of -10C on the way - and forecasters say it could last until MID-FEBRUARY

Why the capitals?

Quote:

The forecast has prompted fears that, with this weather front following close on the heels of the recent problems, the country is on course for a winter even colder than the notoriously treacherous 1962-63.

That's a tabloid favourite. Any year it snows "it's going to be worse than 62/3".
