In the age of vindictiveness and persecution that is modern day Britain I thought I would offer you this little gem currently being circulated by our friends at the NASUWT. Such is the obsessive, almost psychopathic level of spitefulness demonstrated by these people you have to ask whether or not they are of a fit mind to be in any position to work at all, let alone be trusted with younger people.
The concept of martyrdom will of course not be lost across at Archbishop Cranmer's blog where we find His Grace calling upon 520 years of acquired wisdom to skillfully dissect the truly reptilian Bercow and his recent, illicit attack on the BNP.
The Sunday Times this morning lays me down with a sudden and severe bout of electoral fever as it predicts a huge surge in BNP support:
BNP support up 50% in far-right strongholds
The BNP is likely to improve its share of the vote in some key regions by 50% at the next general election, a leaked Whitehall report has forecast.
A study of the growing influence of the far-right party found that 18% of those polled in three areas where it is strongest said they would vote BNP.The report says that would be an increase from 12% in previous polls.
The study, for the Equality and Human Rights Commission, the race watchdog, is the most comprehensive official analysis of the BNP produced. Supported by polling from ICM, it was based on three samples of 1,500 people in Blackburn, northwest Leicestershire and Stoke-on-Trent.
From that heavy dosage of political Viagra we move to The Observer which details more progress on the second front we have opened up since last June. Even one of the Scottish newspapers affords us some decent coverage and a Halloweenesque portrait of Nick in the run up to the Glasgow North East by-election.
Thank you for the suggestions concerning my duck-orientated Sunday dinner. So delicious was the outcome that I consumed the whole bird in an almost Roman act of gluttony. Not that I would recommend the same trick with what was washed up on Glamorgan's Barry Island beach a week ago last Thursday. Whilst I have eaten broad-billed swordfish before, such a gastronomic exercise would have to be left to experts such as Mr Creosote or John Prescott.
