2 Its very sad that a 100year old veteran has to state that the sacrifices he made in the wars were not worth it. I feel the very same wrt my parents and grandparents and what they endured mentally and physically

Well said Jenny totally agree. Its time for those in this government to realise they are here to govern the people and its time they were out. They have just wasted tax payers money and now want us to pay more for them to waste. 1

Teachers! Heads! We all know the value of extra curricular activities like author visits. BUT I know that budgets are really tight just now. Maybe this announcement will help! Please have a look and share with anyone you know in primary education. Thanks! #Edutwitter #teachersofx
