Where to start? Tell us please what a school trustee is. How that school is funded and administered. How teachers are given frequent time to rewrite curriculums. How they are encouraged, in lesson time, to ?not promote racism or the white view?. Madness? I, as an owner of a business, have paid for accountancy exams and accepted said trained accountants leaving. You are a bluffer. You are a paid junior employee. Stop hiding behind the ?private sector?.

He's had a glass of wine again. Trustee - governor in the old days, but its an academy trust, so therefore has trustees. So like all state schools its funded by the govt through payments that depend on the number of pupils, and some extra for rebuilding projects if they can get the cash. Of course teachers have to rewrite how things are taught now and not just focus on the white english viewpoint - as many of the kids are not from a white english background...

Its a voluntary thing, you should try it. So yes I'm a paid junior employee (have I been demoted, I was a middle manager last time..), and a trustee and I have my own consulting company but that is currently dormant... however, if you want some advice on how to structure it so that your accountants dont get you to pay for their exams and then leave, let me know....

So sticking with the theme of some lies being okay - as long as you like the liar in question, it seems - Reform launch their manifesto today.

But they're not calling it a manifesto 'cos that term's synonymous with lies, according to them.

However when the perhaps appropriately named David Bull appeared on Sky, he claimed their sums have been given a thumbs up by the OBS.

Which simply isn't true. As the OBR can only scrutinise government figures. By law. Meaning he, well, lied.

Before ducking and dodging questions over where their fifty billion worth of public service cuts to fund massive tax hand outs will fall.

Then complaining Kay Burleigh had been too 'negative' (which kinda followers a pattern by the way, after Farage pulled out of a BBC interview for fear of being asked about his Nazi quoting candidates).

Yup, a healthy dose of honesty from characters already renown for always telling the, erm, truth...

Are you suggesting then that a certain manifesto (that doesnt mention the party on the cover..) is totally honest in its manifesto - even on the bits they dont spell out but will undoubtedly happen? Is silence and not saying something as dishonest as saying something when both turn out to be bad news?

I think its fitting in this ABC (Anyone but Conservative) election, the word on the Labour manifesto is change.. not Labour!

(tax rises not specifically called out but that then happen are a lie to me, by the way!)
