Looking good tonight

Brains and Beauty

All working out according to plan.
As expected, a real stink kicking up now regarding my proposals for school closures.
Paul Keetch, the Lib/Dem MP, was the first to call for an enquiry-not one to miss a media opportunity. Bill Wiggin was a bit slow to catch on but is now trying to make up lost time. Raising the issue of Herefordshire being the third poorest funded county for education. Well surprise, surprise; it was last week too but no-one interested in stirring it up then- no votes in it!
Even the Council Leader, Roger Phillips, is trying to dodge the flying excrement by claiming he didn't realise the proposals were so extreme. He ought to try staying awake or sober during the meetings then.
The school governors are wanting to "open a dialogue" providing I drop the proposals. Who do they think they are to tell me what to do? What are they going to do about it if I ignore them? Write to the Hereford Times? Don't make me laugh.
I'll let them sweat a bit and get their pathetic campaigns running. I'll let them get more central funding for Herefordshire Education and make sure I stash some of it away for myself . In the meantime the main talking point at dinner parties in Herefordshire will be: Monmouth or Cathedral?
Once the pushy parents have got their snotty little brats into private schools, the "Save of Schools" campaigns will lose momentum.
That's when I offer the hand of friendship and come over as being listening and sympathetic. I'll reprieve one or two of the schools and the poor schmucks will think they have won a great victory. I'll make a big thing about being a mother and a school governor myself and show how much I understand and care about their concerns. They won't realise I've shafted them over a barrel and still closed more schools than any of them would ever have imagined. I'll come out smelling of roses and leave George Salmon to deal with the blowback.
Like lambs to the slaughter.
I wonder if I ought to have my lips enhanced? Might make me look more empathic. Nah!

How dare you compare a trustworthy compassionate public servant to a Nazi?
Very funny. Keep it up.
