This is what pisses me off about the Government...

On the one hand, Tony Blair screams around the world at supersonic speed, spreading the word on George Bush's idiotic elitist Imperial atrocities and blithely ignoring everything that's going on at home (anyone au fait with British history may see some parallels with a certain monarch of the Lionheart persuasion - me? I wouldn't give him the honour), then we have this happen.

Teachers are to be given the right to use "Reasonable force" to stop things like this happening in school.

RANT ON

How long? How the fucking fuck long have I been saying this kind of law should be in place?

I'll tell you how long...

A very long time!

At last, they've actually done something decent, at long fucking bastard last they've made a good thing happen!

We've turned a corner. I can hear the sigh of relief from staffrooms around the country as we speak. At last the little thugs that have been responsible for screwing up the education of an entire generation are going to get dealt with.

For so long, I've felt wrong for holding the belief that children have too many rights - are too protected. And every day you see the stories of thugs and teenage heavies terrorising another neighbourhood, or stabbing another teacher, or collecting their ASBO's.

Now the tide has hopefully turned and the days of the teen mafia are coming to an end.

Or in short:

Oh thank god!

Rant over, I'm going swimming.

Getting a new computer tonight. Woo.
