These cheeky Tories on NLC, I don’t know how they have the nerve to go into print and say what they say. In today’s telegraph I see an headline about the Cabinet Member for Adults and Children Services welcoming the BSF programme by saying and I quote “Building Schools for the future provides a fantastic opportunity to bring our school buildings into the 21st century with modern, vibrant facilities to help nurture young people and encourage them to do well,”
His government tried to cancel the BSF programme nationally but Scunthorpe was so advanced that they couldn’t do it. Then he has the cheek to say at the end of the article “I am pleased that the Conservative-led Government has prioritised our area and has been able to continue with an additional £20-million investment programme set to transform secondary education in Scunthorpe.
As can be read in the article here:- http://www.thisisscunthorpe.co.uk/Progress-report-delivers-marks-pound-87m-schools/story-14334932-detail/story.html It took 18 million just to build this one school so what will we do with this gift of £20m I will wait and see.
A couple of questions I feel need to be asked.
1 If this programme had not been instigated by a Labour Government, would this government have done anything? My personal feeling is NO
2 Would these Tories want to do anything for Scunthorpe? That can only be answered after their term of office, I think and I’m sure a lot of people in Scunthorpe already know the answer to that one but we will wait and see
As a last thought I keep reading about “CONSERVATIVE MANIFESTO PROMISES” I didn’t see a manifesto put out by the Tories. I would be pleased if someone could point me in the right direction to read one.
