The Michael Gove File

Certainly a big reason for me never wanting to live in the uk again.

In the event of a Conservative leadership election, the idea that Gove would be May's chief opponent looks unlikely. A poll of Tory members published last week by Conservative Home put May top, at 35%, with Boris Johnson on 23% and Gove down from 15% to 8% in only a few months

Amusing to watch...but Govey's response to being ticked off reminds me of my mother's horrible poodle that always had to have the last yap when it had been corrected...

In comments likely to leave Gove open to renewed political attack, Dominic Cummings described Cameron as "bumbling" and claimed education reforms were being held back by the lack of support and sense of purpose on the part of the prime minister.

Just days after Gove was ordered to issue an humiliating apology following a row with the home secretary, Theresa May, over policy on combating extremism in schools, Cummings said in an interview with the Times: "As Bismarck said about Napoleon III, Cameron is a sphinx without a riddle.

"Everyone is trying to find out the secret of David Cameron but he is exactly what he appears to be. There's no mystery to him. He had a picture of Macmillan on his wall – that's all you need to know."

They've run out of ideological nutty policies at the fag-end of this parliament and can only make ideologically nutty appointments. Gove actively wants to provoke here. He'd desperately love a "showdown" with the teaching unions in order to show his mettle, and fuck the impact on teachers, children and their families. Vile toad.

I did say in passing to some of the kids on thursday that they might not have a lesson next week because i think i'm going to have to go to into town and shout at Mr Gove.

i imagine this was his plan all along. Get money, give positions. Hardly anything revolutionary.

Afaic, he's not qualified. This sums up the problem with British management as a whole, which is unqualified, poorly qualified and incompetent.

I like the way you've edited the Swappies out of the poster, and rendered Gove's horns visible.

 

[stavros]

The current issue of Private Eye speculates that, due to the extravagances he's been receiving from the Rothermeres, Gove could be the next editor of the Daily Mail. This seems highly unlikely as he's obviously has his eyes on Number 10. However, at least it would mean his daft ideas would only be spouted to other cunts.

 

[Awesome Wells]

Does he strike poses like this with any degree of self awareness? He must know how much of a cartoon he appears?

Parents of academy pupils told not to talk about alleged £2m fraud

Parents of pupils attending a chain of three academies championed by education secretary Michael Gove and founded by his former schools commissioner have been told not to talk to the media about a £2m fraud to which it has allegedly fallen victim.

In a letter to parents written last month, Adrian Percival, CEO of Haberdashers' Aske's Federation Trust, which is based in south-east London and is responsible for 4,500 pupils, said: "The appalling crime appears to have been committed over a period of seven years, during which time the perpetrator appears to have set up a large number of small fraudulent transactions in order to commit these crimes unnoticed."

A 55-year-old man from Lambeth has been arrested in connection with the investigation, the Met police confirmed.....

 

[Orang Utan]

That's academies for you. Lots of potential for massive cronyism and fraud. Just like so many partly privatised public services.
