Balls

From Simon Carr in The Independent comes this on "Blinky" - "The trouble with Balls. He knows too much. It makes him think he knows everything and omniscience is the first stage of madness. He may be in to the second stage already... My advice to Gove is to get drunk and practise speaking in a darkened room. He – and younger Tories – all need to be more involved. Viscerally, emotionally, intellectually. Many still suffer from a born-to-rule ease that doesn't play very well out there among us plebs. What I want is to hear a blistering defence of liberty in education, and an unanswerable case that more Balls means more pain, poverty and educational failure for children."
