East Riding schools appeal to Education Secretary Michael Gove

“Some funny lines Peesooper..but perhaps these matters are too serious for joshing.... my 3 kids have to go to these run down slums, not those of the posh boys of Whitehall such as Gove`s, Clegg`s and Cameron`s !
It has always been this way, areas like ours neglected whilst the fat cats and plutocrats down south preen themselves and look down on us .. Well ---- off. Now I`m with you Peesouper !!”

“Oh quelle suprise...I bet they end up demolishing Longcroft, building on the site and leaving us with even fewer sports facilities because oh yes....Mr Gove doesn't give a **** about the health of our children if he can make a quick buck out of the sale of school fields.
He'll be in good company with lard lad and graham.”

“This would obviously have been a most important meeting for the future of schools and education in out region. Let us hope Mr.Gove could deliver up some funding to deal with our all too often ramshackle buildings, which often are no longer fit for the twentieth ,let alone this, century. I have to say ,I am doubtful, Gove seems only interested in funding his pet academies and free schools, which thankfully we only have seven of here in the Riding. How we need a purpose built new secondary here in Beverley, but Gove would only allow that if the school sold its soul , teachers, pupils, and parents, to his discredited academies model, which is socially regressive and educationally divisive. Comprehensive education should mean the same chances for all, never expect a Tory to deliver that , it is just not in their DNA !”
