Benefits Bill...
Good quote from 'The Now Show' on Radio 4 this evening...
'Somehow immigrants seem to be able to simultaneously take all the jobs AND lounge around on benefits'
Now the government our whipping up such a unnecessary panic about immigrants who cannot speak English. By the Guardian's calculation the possible cost of this is just 0.2% if the total benefits bill, but going on the focus it has been given by the Torys you would assume it was much greater. They are just cashing in on prejudices, feeding the public's false assumptions to win votes.

HA!
The London Academy of Excellence, will have a selective admissions policy requiring five As at GCSE. The sixth form college will have an academic focus, offering only a choice of 12 "hard" subjects including maths, physics and history.
The Headmaster said: "We're not trying to cream off the best and brightest of the East End. We're trying to identify a bigger pool of talent. There are lots of bright children doing the wrong GCSEs, not being motivated properly, and dropping out of school at 16." Yeh, none of which you will be recruiting! I wonder how many of those will have achieved five A grades at GCSE - Approximately zero! If they've achieved five A grades, I doubt they've chosen the wrong GCSEs, I expect they are well motivated and I'm pretty damn sure they would not be planning to drop out of school at 16. Ridiculous.
