Education, Education, Education.
Remember Tony Bliars mantra, on the above, well its another one of his failures.
At the beginning of the year the boss of Arnold Clarke in Scotland complained about the education standards of youngsters joining his establishment, he stated that they were poorly educated, couldn't communicate, and was denounced by many for his remarks.
Now we have the boss of Eon complaining about the education standards of youngsters joining his company as apprentices, he states that they can barely write a decent letter.
Socialist Politicians are always tampering with education system, instead of bringing it (education) down to the least common denominator we should be raising the standards to the highest level.
