Colleges to get the hell out of school (and the schools will doubtless be glad to see the back of them), and when they get there they will do bugger all and lark about and turn F.E. into a joke, and the Executive will of course pay the colleges to take them, and the colleges will want to be places of serious education but will be unable to resist riding the gravy train.<br /><br />And the Executive halfwits will boast about how many people are in education and the lunacy will go on and on and on and on etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637840.post-48062648362601239222007-01-14T17:50:00.000+00:002007-01-14T17:50:00.000+00:00Yes, you are correct Shuggy.
