An actual VIP has said that schools should stop teaching pseudo-science and start teaching real science. What do you want? <br /><br />The only problem is this:<br /><br />At what point in Government has the fight back started? It needs a MINISTER, preferably the Minister of Education, to say it. But it is a start. <br /><br />Here is an interesting thing. You know that Alcohol Concern and ASH are hand in glove? As regards the initiative from Diago to fund the teaching of midwives about alcohol and pregnancy (though why they should need teaching, I do not know), AC are very doubtful, whereas Minister for Health, Minton, who is a bosom buddy of Deb Arnott, has welcomed the initiative!<br /><br />Cracks are beginning to appear in the consensus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-67381601230085764082011-06-14T01:46:19.848+01:002011-06-14T01:46:19.848+01:00@LI

Why, if it wasn't for all that global warming, I might be sitting out in the garden with a beer, like I used to.<br /><br />Instead I have to pay extra tax on the heating to stop it getting even warmer, because if it did I'd be encased in ice.<br /><br />Strange. I'm sure the warming/cooling thing was different when I did physics at school. <br /><br />But then science is a very different thing now.Leg-ironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04932361799889315359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-46361917682456510292011-06-13T23:44:35.446+01:002011-06-13T23:44:35.446+01:00Bob Ward ...
