Drones in the sky and snooping your internet. The government’s invasion into privacy continues. Under that banner of security against terrorism. Apathy will be the death of freedom as we see those freedoms and ability to express ourselves diminished. Be that as it may something else which is rather important is the education of our children. Reports are saying that “soft” subjects mean that children from poorer backgrounds are suffering. It seems as if they are performing better but leave school or university with a range of qualifications that are fairly useless in real life. Genuinely, the problem is that box ticking and dumbing down has undermined our educational system. The gulf between the quality of state and private education has never been greater. And that’s a tragedy.
James Hartigan joined me to discuss the films of the week. www.lbc.co.uk/filmclub for more details.
And then we discussed the religious leaders pushing against the equality bill. I still find it odd that we allow all manner of things to occur under the banner of “religion”. And we also established that the blind are the worse drivers and that the London thing that should close is my mouth. But only until tomorrow! I am back from 5pm with Business & Property.
