What did they expect?

The flagship Scottish Government policy of cutting class sizes will require new classrooms and extra teachers, costing hundreds of millions of pounds.

The Association of Directors of Education in Scotland conducted a survey of Scotland's local authorities. It said councils were currently working out how to achieve class sizes of 18 pupils in primaries one to three.

The Scottish Government said its concordat with councils would deliver year-on-year reductions in class sizes.

The Association of Directors of Education in Scotland (ADES) survey, which gathered information from 22 of Scotland's 32 councils, found that an additional 2,173 teaching staff would be required, costing an extra £62m every year.

There would also need to be 900 additional classrooms, costing £360m, it said.

I like criticising the SNP but you can’t criticise them for this. It’s obvious to anyone with half a brain that this policy would require more teachers, more classrooms and more money. How else would it be achieved?

Stop criticising the SNP over this. They do a lot of crap and idiotic things but they can’t be criticised for something that was obvious to everyone.

SNP to appease Muslims

I thought Tony Blair and the Labour government loved kissing the feet of muslims to get their vote. I still believe that but it seems the SNP are far worse.

In Scotland there are no state funded Islamic schools so Alex Salmond is going to try and create some so that he can woo the Islamic vote. If Scotland becomes independent they have to get rid of the SNP because they will totally destroy Scotland and turn real Scots into Dhimmis.

SNP to open Scottish embassies

FIRST Minister Alex Salmond plans to open a string of Scottish "embassies" across the globe in a bid to further his agenda for independence.

Scotland is not independent so why the hell are they opening embassies? Surely this is treason?

Who the hell does this man think he is? Even Labour wouldn’t waste so much money on something so useless. Why should the Scottish people fork out money to advance the agenda of a party which never received the majority of the Scottish vote?

Problem solved

IN ONE fell swoop, the Scottish Government has solved the country's costly NEET problem - by renaming it.

The education secretary Fiona Hyslop has rejected the acronym, which means "not in education, employment or training". She believes it "labels" unemployed youngsters.

Instead she refers to the estimated 35,000 teenagers who choose to claim benefits rather than study or work, as those in need of "more choices, more chances".

A study by Westminster's education department in 2002 calculated each NEET youngster cost the country £45,000 in benefits.

How is this going to achieve anything? How does it label youngsters? I have never heard anyone talking about NEETs or calling layabouts that.

The SNP seem to like rebranding exercises that don’t achieve anything. They seem more useless and politically correct than Labour and I didn’t think that was possible.

SNP to discriminate against English students

Alex Salmond is showing that he is an anti English racist. He is going to stop tuition fees for Scottish students in Scottish universities. While the English won’t be getting anything, asylum seekers and immigrants from other EU countries will. The SNP also expect the Lib Dems to support this racist piece of legislation and they probably will.

If Salmond thinks that English students should be discriminated against while the rest of the world can just show up and be educated then I think it’s time for us to get our money back and tell the SNP that they can fund their education without English money.
