The sad faces of wronged Mail readers

According to the article they went on honeymoon 5 weeks after getting married. So it's hardly the special once in a life time trip the bride tries to make out it was. If you take away the money spent on taxis to the airport etc the luxury week away came in at about £400 each, given tat even the cheapest flights these days come in at around £200 once all the taxes have been paid I think expecting a 5 star luxury for what they spent was asking a bit much.

Those are some really despair-filled expressions the honeymooners putting on - to look at them you'd think they'd just witnessed their entire families being brutally murdered in front of them.

So why the DM sadface story?

Being a Grandfather he probably fought in the war and thus is never guilty of anything ever.

More sympathy than a lot of the commenters show, of course.

Yep. Some of the comments are horrible. And the article is moderated too.

I bet Gove won't be as sympathetic though.

The Mail has helpfully shown the child's house no. and street name in the photo, then provided the name of the village in the article. They really don't give a shit do they?

Perhaps this is why so much money over the last decade was ear-marked and spent on refurbishment of schools, hospitals and other public buildings. With the cuts, problems and urgent works like this will be ignored and allowed to build up leaving even more public spending to be undertake by future administrations. No doubt prompting another massive catch up as was done in 1997.

And meantime Gove is throwing millions at Conservative cronies who want to start Free Schools. Great sense of priorities.

and a few strange people who think that the building and maintenance of state schools should be just like a barn-raising in 'Little House on the Prairie' :roll:

Quote:

What's wrong with the parents organising a working party to sort the school out? It has 800 pupils so if everyone put in £10.00 and let's face it; that's not much! It could at least be dried out and maybe someone could fix the roof.. and the peeling walls would need a bit of work; but how many times have you heard someone say ' They ought to do something about that!" A stitch in time I say!

That'd be... £8000. No, that's not much.

Remind me again what happened to the Buliding Schools for the Future programme? And the replacement that Gove said would publish it plans a year ago - and still hasn't.

The comments show exactly why Tories need the likes of The Mail. They destroy the Building Schools for the Future programme and the blame lies with? Poor foreign children. H&S. I expect immigrants are in there somewhere too.

Plus - Gove is purposely starving schools of funds with the intention of getting them to convert to Academies, owned by either a church or one of his corporate mates.

DfE have a target list of these schools, they send HMIs around for a 'chat' at very short notice.

As Pob himself would say, it creates a 'chilling atmosphere'.
