DUMB INSOLENCE #8

 DUMB INSOLENCE #8

And so it goes..

The UK government, as part of its non-strategy for responding to the non-pandemic,decide to enforce by antidemocratic diktat, the cancellation of all school exams.It was agreed by all stakeholder parties in the "education" "system" that the year's exams results would be determined by an algorithm furnished by Ofqual.

After all,once the biggest,dumbest decision is made to scuttle the cruise-liner that we're on ,you need some kind of serviceable life-raft to lend the rest of the disbelieving,gobsmacked world that you at least haven't abandon reason and intellect in the face of the global non-pandemic.

The devolved Scottish govt. was first in dealing ( swiftly ) with an unforeseeable and p.r. damaging outworking of their agreed to Ofqual algorithm.The same algorithm that hit the exams results in England,Wales and the Northern Ireland statelet. Only this time Sec.of State Williamson and his Universities subaltern Gibbs offered up a rerasoned and valiant defence of the outcomes.

Even though in broad p.r. terms the vent-axia was inundated by the incoming faeces storm.But rather than acquiescing to the historically necessary expedient as pioneered by the Edinburgh administration;the Whitehall elites attempted a Rorke's Drift defence,clinging to their chosen mantra of " grade inflation".

Well,that line didn't see out the full week after it was first pronounced.The other 2 devolved administrations in Belfast and Cardiff herlmed by Opposition parties cottoned on quickly to the Scots' realpolitik.Whitehall and No10 don't do realpolitik or any other kind of viable politik it seems.

They do however do capitulation,in the most craven and cowardly manner possible and in full view of their unforgiving,revenge driven opponents and enemies.

And hey presto! The algorithm has been superceded by teachers' assessments of grades.and the entire Universities calendar and admissions have been screwed up a right treat.

That's what happens;whirlwinds are better left unsown.
