This is an ‘html-only’ version of Scribblings with no database behind it. This means it is not possible to search it. I am working on a new version with which I am hoping to eventually put back into the main site. The new version is here but please note that there is no link directly back to the main site.

Barmy Tories before bedtime
I’m off to bed now (it’s been a long day and half a night) but before I do I thought I’d have a look at the news headlines on the BBC’s news site.
The Tory party has come up with another of its please-the-rich policies on education. Tim Yeo is proposing that schools should no longer be permitted to give admission priority to kids who live nearby.
The reason he appears to be giving for this seems to be that parents find it too expensive to move house in order to be close to ‘good’ schools. Of course, he dresses this up by saying that poorer people will be allowed to bus their kids to schools in ‘better’ neighbourhoods but when it comes down to it what he’s really trying to do is keep the rich happy.
Good night!
An apology
Since moving the site to a new server Scribblings is not as easy to find your way around as it used to be. It used to depend on a script and a database on the server but is currently served as ‘flat html’.
I have some ideas about how to make it a bit easier but they depend on writing another script. I hope to get around to it ‘eventually’.
