Subsidised drivel


We're paying for schools to teach creationism

Thanks to this bloke.










I don't care what people teach their kids. Teach them that Hogwarts exists, that there are real wizards, that there's a platform nine and three quarters at Kings Cross. Teach them that the world is flat, that the sun and everything else revolves around the earth, and that things started off with a bang and a puff of smoke a couple of thousand years ago.

Teach them that evolution is rubbish, that there's a scientific basis for ignoring the science carbon dating the planet and life on it, teach then that god made little green apples. Teach them that Belgians are not all boring paedos. Teach them that television is a stimulating and worthwhile pastime. Teach them that politicians have made the world a better place. Teach them that Windows is a good, stable operating system. Teach them that our railways are efficient and excellent value. Teach them astrology. But, Gove, old boy, don't get the taxpayer to fork out for filling their heads with all that garbage.

I struggle to understand why there are holocaust deniers locked up for denying the facts, while evolution and climate change deniers hide behind religion and energy company money and get to spout their nonsense without fear of being banged up for it. Mr Gove obviously does understand and is happy to pass some of my money onto people running schools and teaching kids whatever they like.


I don't think that's what Mr Whippy had in mind

Wheater, batting for Essex against Middlesex at Chelmsford, has just middled a six and smashed the ice cream van's passenger door window. There's a steward in a high viz vest sweeping up the glass. The commentators commiserated with the ice cream seller, who probably hasn't had the best summer ever, but only after the “that's not what Mr Whippy had in mind” from Bob Willis.

Now, this guy's cool:
