Irony overload

Gavin Williamson: “The danger is that pupils will be over-promoted into jobs that are beyond their competence".

Meanwhile, in California, Alanis Morrisette exploded.

Yesterday, the UK Government shafted an entire generation of school leavers, or at least those from poor and/or large schools.

Because exams could not be sat, a combination of mock result, teacher's predictions and past record of that school was used in an algorithm to gift A Level grades. Tese are the results that decide which, if any, university these poor teenagers get into.

The internet and news reports are full of hardworking, poorer children, with expectation of tripple A or A* results being downgraded to lower, much lower grades in some cases, and losing their places at university. One young lady was expectation A*, A, A*, got B,B,C and will not be going to Cambridge. That place is lost forever, her future snatched away from her as quickly as Thatcher snatching milk bottles.

Meanwhile those from a more privileged background, who went to a smaller or public school and maybe studied less popular subjects saw their grades increased.

The poor an appeal, but each appeal costs £111. And if successful, pushes those below you a further grade down.

Johnson's promise when elected Leader of the Conservative Party to level up the country were as hollow as his last marriage vows. Those who fell for his Tory bullshot can now repent at their leisure, while McDonald's have openings for more burger flippers.

Ever had the feeling you've been conned?

The Torygraph lead with headlines that "Teachers handed out implausibly high predicted grades".

Meanwhile the Cabinet is full of people who have been over-promoted beyond their competence, Mr Williamson, you included. But they have the school tie, the inherited wealth and title. They will never have to graft, hold down one or two jobs while studying. It's all such a laugh. For them.

Meanwhile, the Government announced, last night at 22:00, that France was joining the list of countries to be added to the quarantine list, so made in time to make the first editions of the papers, but not giving those in France or about to go any notice to do any thing about it.

The Express leads on increased fines for those refusing to obey lockdown rules, but the rules so complicated very few would ever be charged, and tomorrow the Government, with no supporting evidence will further release lockdown over large parts of the country, despite most areas having a higher R rate than the worst in France.

Meanwhile Nigel has been in Dover, photographed doing his best JRM impression, working on the Governments behalf to distract attention from the legion of omnishambles that Johnson and co are presiding over.
