Tom Morris

A pungent mix of programming, philosophy, pedanticism, procrastination, perplexity, peripheral political polemic, and platters of preposterousness.

BBC News Magazine have an article on the Respect Agenda: “Tony Blair was reportedly aghast in a session with head teachers when he discovered that pupils had phones in schools.” Sorry, has this guy lost it? Our economy is up to no great shakes, and Iraq isn’t going anywhere quickly, and he’s worried about kids with mobiles? Good to see the article makes mention of the social contract. I still humbly request that the government show me a social contract that I signed, and, until then, shut up. This respect stuff is just a nice drizzle of Westminster humour, the gravy of silliness poured on the turkey of incompetence.
