Err, it might be horrendous, but I thought I'd give it a go....please let me know what you think.

Oh, and I promise that the proceeding entries won't be nearly as focused on yours truly. I'm really not that interesting after all. :P

Good start. I agree with you that we need to be a broad based party with detailed domestic policies. Hopefully the current policy review process will help move us in this direction.

Good luck with the blog. It can be quite addictive! I have added you to my blogroll over at Curious Snippets.

Have you or anyone else on here heard news of the progress of the policy review groups?

I believe they should all be submitting their final papers shortly so they are ready ahead of party conference in october. Certainly the constitutional affairs group is just finalising the paper next week.

"I like to think of my perspective as somewhat unique as I went to a poorly performing (as in "on special measures" bad) secondary school which had a way above average percentage of ethnic students,"

I hope you aren't implying what I think you are implying.

Schools dominated by working class children will always be worse than schools dominated by middle class children, just because of the different way the majority of working class people are brought up. Of course you get exceptions, such as yourself.
Most ehnic minority pupils are working class, hence are less likely to get much from an education. My secondary school is too an awful one, very poor indeed. Yet we have just two or three black people out of nearly 3,000 students and no black teachers: this probably ties in with the fact that their are no skilled jobs in the area, everyone either works in tourism or agriculture.

I wqas absolutely not implying anything. My only point was that the out-of-class culture was a lot different to what it now is in my new College.

Nice to know, I thought you were taking the BNP line "Black people make white people perform worse in school".
