No, it's another un-subtle way of conditioning them to comply with the norms and expectations of capital.Is that a clever way of encouraging them to do well in exams so that they can go to university and be happily scruffy?

There's an academy near me that does this. Business hours and business dress. Lots of greasy haired acne ridden teenagers with slip knot graffitied vans backpacks shoving energy drinks and kebabs down throats - like every other teenager - but wearing cheap shiny suits like the shit ones on The Apprentice.

Academies are often run by dullard, conformist business-type droids who like to project this shite onto the kidz.

Remarkably some are actually still effectively run by the foundations that previously supported them financially. Though they still have to 'pretend' they are companies with directors and all that shit.
It's all about MATs with 'executive heads' now, though. Ready & ripe to privatise...probably for another thread, though?

Cameron looking for leverage here I surmise.

It's OK, Cameron has figured out that it's not unfair to deny in-work benefits to foreigners as long as he denies them to British citizens as well. So any British person who hasn't worked for four years (which according to Hameron's dodgy maths somehow works out as being anyone under 24) will also be denied these benefits.

two colomists have finally broken ranks (Obourne & North) and explained the illegality of that. Electoral Commission, the statutory body 'recommends 10 months lead time earliest after the February talks they can comply with that is late December.

10 months after the legislation goes through, nowt to do with the talks. That would still men October was the earliest possibility

It wouldn't be, the Electoral Commission not being a law making body

EU Referendum: that date again the recommendations of the body in charge of the referendum, are NOT unreasonable,,cetainly reasonable enough to get a judicial review should he ignore them....and even they take time

I'm disturbed to see that the vote to leave is over 50%.
Leaving the EU would be an economic disaster for the UK.
We're not China or America. What makes people think we can survive in the global jungle on our own? With our former friends pissed off with us for leaving too.

on the other hand, seeing the biggest twunts from the tory front bench campaigning today for 'leave' makes me more uncomfortable with that option.
there are good arguments from the left for leaving, but would we would get the sort of UK (or England, if Scotland decides it would rather be in the EU than the UK) the left would like after leaving?
While others on this thread have rightly argued that the employment / consumer / environmental protection laws we have (in varying degrees due to the EU) are less than ideal, are these sorts of things going to get better under a tory / ukip english government?

.....just can't see it myself...the EU is a 1950's top down bureaucacy that's been totally obsolete for at least a decade...which is why it is so utterly shit at everything and anything it does...and in the face of the so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution will prove about as much use as rushing into a cheap Milletts tent and zipping it up to shelter from a force 10 hurricane....

to be honest, I wasn't really sure whether to include Wales with England, or if a 'leave EU' vote might lead to greater enthusiasm for an independent Wales within the EU...

Given that UKIP are on for up to nine AMs in the welsh assembly in the May elections and possibly outpoll plaid, I'm not convinced that the referendum is going to do much to boost support for an independent Wales.

Staying in Europe favours Wales.
Wales received £3.4 billion from Europe between 2000 and 2013.
Now that's money Europe took from the Uk to give it back to spend in Wales. Its a use it or lose proposition which forced the government to provide match funding in Wales or lose the EU money.
If you think the English led Londoncentric government would have spent £3.4 billion plus match funding on Wales during the same period (if they weren't pretty much forced into it) then you dont have a clue.
London has always begrudged match funding Wales. When the London Olympic bid was successful oh my god did they begrudge it with a vengeance.
They were very close to just writing off EU money so that they could keep back funds for Olympic stuff.
