How do you exercise your democratic rights properly without basic literacy?  Here in Wales we have a very pro trade union Government, very pro social justice, investing a lot of money in our basic literacy and numeracy courses and other courses for upskilling workers and we are lucky to have that. Under a tory Government that funding would no doubt be heavily if not completely cut.  I do often think that if people think things are bad under Labour they'll get a horrible shock if the Tories make it back in.

If only we had a labour party in Westminster that understood its obligations so clearly.

Unfortunately it's being paid for by shorting the funding in senior schools. I can think of three local senior schools which are saying that they are going to have to ask for staff to take voluntary redundancy, and the capitation figure has been so low that books and stationary have been in short supply.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
