That was hilarious.

@OfMiceandTransmen EMA is designed to support families on lower income. Yes, EMA has been abused and exploited for non-educational materials, but that is because the system was not set up properly. EMA could be managed like a tax return, where EMA-eligible students and their families could be refunded money on an annual basis through receipts and records over their expenditure on books, bus fares and stationery.

Tories slashed EMA because they blame the poor for their financial situation.

@Eskimimer How can you expect anyone to be swayed by your political views when you are so uneducated you can't even spell "disgrace" properly?

[Eskimimer]

i'm sick of this whole blame the labour government "argument" also. The fact is that the the torys agreed with every penny of labours borrowing up until the GLOBAL financial crisis. Open your eyes and look at whats happening throughout the world in terms of their economy. Torys continue to use the "labour caused our economy to collapse" for every single excuse for their distablisiling cuts to our economy. Utter discrace, although if you live in London, or were educated at Eton, just ignore this.

Fact is, I'm sure Burnham could have a cleaner too if he so chose.

Ha ha, Gove looks properly offended and outraged - the tosser. Well done Burnham.

@fan1odw No, the education system didn't work fine under Labour. Britain used to be world-famous for state-of-the-art education before Labour got in. In 2009 the UK didn't do well on the international PISA league tables at all. Just look at teenagers & their ability to spell, use punctuation and grammar. Most of them confuse "you're" and "your", "there" and "their", along with writing things like "1970's" instead of "1970s". So...no, the education wasn't "doing fine 'til Gove came along".

[fan1odw]

@OfMiceandTransmen please, don't rattle on with this whole "blame the last labour government" bollocks. The education system worked fine until Michael Gove cut it. If cuts are an improvement on things, then I suppose you'd like the NHS to go bust as well. Michael Gove's view of education is that the rich should be properly educated and the oiks should be shown the door.

@OfMiceandTransmen Oh please, enough of the "last government" crap. Cameron could dig out £41 million extra for the Olympics opening ceremony, so if they can blow it on fireworks they can blow if on a few schoolbooks for the kids. Ever heard of the phrase "what you give with one hand you take away with the other"? That is basically the political approach to education - remove the labour infrastructure and replace it with a tory one in order to take credit for any achievements.

@LoneRookRS1 The Tories slashed EMA because the country can no longer afford to pay it out, thanks to Gordon Brown's legacy of debt. They did, however, replace it with a bursary to ensure that the very poorest kids are supported through education.
