And another thing…

WALKING into the Commons a few minutes ago, I saw the Greenpeace protesters on top of Westminster Hall, and suddenly it struck me: they’re right!

It’s time to change the politics. And, while we’re at it, save the climate too! The details can wait.

And there was me thinking that these illegal and self-indulgent roof protests were a waste of police time and resources. If they hadn’t gone to such efforts I wouldn’t have had my epiphany.

So, thanks, Greenpeace!

FOLLOWING on from a previous post about the demise of the term Neets in Scotland, I have finally discovered the actual phrase which Fiona Hyslop, the education minister, has decided should replace the better known term: “Young people requiring more choices, more chances”. Aw, the nice…

Still, my version wasn’t far off the mark.

I AM informed that Scotland no longer has Neets. No, not headlice – NEETS, young people who are Not in Education, Employment or Training. Not that the SNP “government” has succeeded in getting them all into work or training, they’ve simply changed their name (allegedly).

Instead of Neets, they’re now called Young Persons Requiring Holistic Empowerment Within A Safe and Nurturing Environment. Or something.

South of Carlisle, we still have Neets, but apparently the PC police took advantage of the change in administration at Holyrood last year to pounce on inexperienced new ministers and persuade them of the case that the term Neets was somehow offensive (of course).

Altogether now: “It’s political correctness gone…”
