A mercifully short post for you here!
Im starting to think that, not since historical times past, have we had such a patchwork of opportunity across this so called 'United' Kingdom; Im also starting to think that the whole idea of a Coalition Government has nothing to do with 'Co' at all - oh apart from putting people like Danny Alexander and Vince Cable in the firing line as 'brotherly' protection.
So, as I recently found out from many a depleted Youth Service around the UK, the current public sector cuts are so deep and far reaching for staff, students and communities that it will actually take some time yet for the ramifications to be really felt, nationally.
Its depressing to think that we are still in the 'calm' - before the 'storm' really hits.
This Government is dividing to conqueor, up to its neck in a fight to restore a political ideology at the expense of what is best for the UK as a whole - whoever shouts the loudest (and has the greatest 'amplification' ) , applies the most pressure and can unify like-minded groups and individuals really can influence what is becoming a rather unpopular 'beast' - we have seen this recently with the NHS - let us hope that the educationalists out there (and you are certainly all talking a good fight) are equally successful.
If we fail in this battle, we will surely be left with a wasteland of patchwork opportunities and vast cohorts of young people feeling disenfranchised and worthless.
Is this the sort of nation we are becoming again?
