Its amazing considering parliament is in recess that they are able to fuck things up quite so comprehensively without even being at work.

It's almost as if they doing it on purpose.

Problem is that with the majority the public have given them it was not even possible to get parliament recalled during the A Level shit show.

We are basically living in a self imposed dictatorship run by shysters and corruption, but its want the people voted for.

The problem is that although large numbers of the electorate favour a sort of benign dictatorship, they only want it if efficient at confrming their prejuduces, and maintaining their material wealth.  Although predictably useless, they know that Johnson's crew "get" this fundamantal point and in their own inefficient way are working towards that end.  

Therefore they continue to support as Cummings chops away at the foundations of what is generally understood as our democracy.

The piece you link is dated Feb 2020?

Anyway when they do close next year it will all be down to C-19.

Just moving through thoughts on the A levels / GCSE fiasco.  So now the uni's are putting pressure on the government for more funding for medical places as they have filled them up prior to the idiotic flip-floppery of Bradford universities finest alumni Frank Spencer lookalike and fireplace salesman.

So the taxpayer may have to put more funding in so the uni's can have a larger cohort this year.  So is the likely result of this that next year the cohort is reduce?  So the heartbreak may continue.  And we have to pay for it.  Wonder where they'll get the money for that.

The money and heartbreak these fucks casually toss at anyone outside their immediate circle of friends is breathtaking.

not content with fucking up the A-Levels, Pearson have, at 4:30pm before results day, apparently decided to not release level 1 and level 2 BTECresults tomorrow.

https://twitter.com/lewis_goodall/status/1296126808505700354?s=19

my son, who was discouraged from doing PE at GCSE because he didn't play sport at a high enough level (excuse or genuinly a requirement by the school I know not) was doing a BTEC instead.

This was needed in order to get into his college course...

thankfully given its modular by design he has enough evidence to show he was on for merit/distinction  - if the college accept that evidence..

Whichever exam board it is, what a fucking disgrace.  Hope your lad's gonna be ok.
