I'm hoping that he won't be in power in six years.

Who are you hoping will be in power? An old Etonian who really
understands the problems of having a poor education?

Brown went to a comprehensive, but it was no bog standard
comprehensive, and the education he recieved was by no means
'standard', he was given intensive extended learning, of the kind
that is now only available in handful of very high quality state and
independent schools.


Total Bollocks no 1.

There are no Comprehensive Schools, as such, in Scotland and never
have been.
Neither has there ever been any selection.

The only secondary schools in Scotland are the High Schools, which
might also
go under the name of Academies or Grammar Schools.

Gordon Brown attended his local high school, Kircaldie High School.

Unlike Tony Blair, who was a boarder at Fettes Public School in
Edinburgh.




By the way, Cameron got into Eton on a scholarship.


By the way that's total bollocks no 2.

David Cameraon went to Heatherdown Preparatory school, just like
Princes Andrew
and Edward, and than as planned stragiht on to Eton. Following in the
footsteps
of his brother Alex 3 years earlier

Eton scholarships are given to exceptional Grammar school pupils, not
the grandsons of baronets who's names were put down for entry at birth

So that makes two stupid mistakes\barefaced lies out of two

It's surprising you can even remember to spell your name correctly.
