Michael Gove - campaigning for the best in state education

[gapok]

Does anyone else notice the talk and chalk style teaching, the class being passive and non-responsive, or that they're not on task... Mmmm... Get the OfSted inspectors to see this - and then get off teachers' backs...

[sail1948]

Why do I get an overwhelming urge to inflict extreme violence on this upper class worm?

[teddingtontcu]

@sail1948 you are not alone.

[person9144]

he's a slimy git as well as being a complete idiot. His policies are stupid and have been rushed (not allowing time for review/amendments/democracy) and have failed. He wants to make his mark on education, rather than improving it. Also, local authorities have very little influence over schools and might be the people who were helpful. Another thing is that the main issue with education is poverty... not the education system. That's been proven, and it would be better to focus on that instead.

[kromed01]

Isnt it great how in this video which is pre-election he says that he is a campaigner for the best education for everyone. Once in power he cancels a program that would have made all schools equally as good for everyone. The man is a liar and a disgrace.

[Ade76]

Gove's announced cuts to refurbishment to schools...

Are they thick or what? What's better, get children learning, support architects and builders, and get some money back though tax, or get builders and architects unemplyed and risk bankrupting companies and put builders and architects on the dole?

[RobGorrie]

thought*.... embarrassing.

[RobGorrie]

There are a concerning number of spelling mistakes and grammatical errors in the subtitles... Would have though a shadow education secretary would be more concerned about that kind of thing.

[arguingplentifully]

I'm really not sure they should be letting him near all those children.

the living embodiment of Tory Boy

[steps1]

!?!? moronic..i think most people would have "Tory Boys" over pathetic champagne socialists

[Leftygit]

sorry, who's a champagne socialist? if its a reference to the current Labour government then i'd be inclined to say there much more champagne than they are socialist, and in any case i don't recall expressing any admiration for them in the first place. What i did express was an observation of the uncanny resemblance between the bouncing baby Gove and the character 'Tory Boy' depicted by harry enfield. moronics a big word isn't it.

[steps1]

Unless you suffer from myopia, then there is no way you can describe the resemblance between Gove and the Enfield character as "uncanny".

[ESmp40]

long live the communist party of britian!

[Devi1MayCare]

David Cameron has had the best education money can buy & the best response he can come up with vis-a-vis Russia/Georgia is to ban Russians from shopping in the UK. Now am I the only 1 who thinks that Russians won't be crying into their bottles of Vodka over the thought of missing out on Aldi's sensational 2 for 1 deal on Heinz baked beans. If I were his parents, I'd be demanding a refund from Eton instantly.Private education a route to success? Yes, but obviously not one to an incisive intellect

[PeteGeeza86]

This video makes me cringe....what a geek he is.

[steps1]

a really profound and well-thought out comment..i think your comment makes people cringe

[gagothesith]

PETEGEEZA86

> what a geek he is

The people are infinitely better served by a competent "geek" than by a SLICK politician who looks good on the telly and makes you feel good with his soundbites and slogans which appeal to Socialist tendenies, but is incompetent. (Oh, wait. Gordon Brown does not even look good on the telly!)

[gagothesith]

(ERRATUM: tendencies)

[skegy]

Why are the British Government CENSORING prisonplanet (dot) com and infowars (dot) com. And why are the Tories saying nothing. FREEDOM !!!!!!!!!!!

[DotConnectorUK]

Michael Gove self confessed neoconservative and member of the Henry jackson society the Neoconservative society and NEW PROJECT FOR THE NEW AMERICAN CENTURY.Patrons of The Henry Jackson Society include James Woolsey (ex Director of the CIA, Richard Perle,Bill Kristol and Robert Kagan. The Henry Jackson Society sponsored by the people who brought you 9/11, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Nice one Mr Gove!!

[mrshellshock]

You twat!

It was the Blairite administration who screwed up our foreign relations.

They were the ones who decided we should "stand shoulder to shoulder with the americans" and were the poodles of Bush, following him into unwinnable wars such as IRAQ and AFGAHNISTAN!

All the problems this country has, have to be blamed on Anthony Charles Lynton "call me Phony" Bliar!

[DotConnectorUK]

So why you calling me a twat?

I never said it wasn't. If you actually read my comment you will see that!

Dumbass!

[Devi1MayCare]

Tony Blair gave a speech in Chicago (1999) stating his desire to remove Saddam from power. This was whilst Bush was governor of Texas. So it's you who is the poodle for copying others and propagating a lie. Your almost as bad as that tits' comment above you.

[screammac]

i must say its your comment way we have problems in are school a spicaley bulling and must be very narow minded person

[stefjohannson]

Hey Michael, was it just wash n' go you took into the shower with you when you flatshared with Ivan Massow?

[screammac]
