The Scab Society

It appears odious Education Secretary Michael Gove is supporting parents being asked to take over classes in an attempt to break this Thursday’s strike by teacher’s unions. According to The Independant, a spokesman for Gove has said it would be “great” if parents could help out with teaching. The true motivation for the Big Society becomes ever clearer.

Let’s not mince words. Any parent who offers to help out in this way is a dirty fucking scab and should be treated with the contempt they deserve. They should be ostracised by their communities and have shit chucked at them in the street. Slogans should be painted on their houses and driveways to make sure people know of the scum in their midst. As author Jack London once wrote: “No man has a right to scab as long as there is a pool of water deep enough to drown his body in, or a rope long enough to hang his carcass with.”

Perhaps it will be the children they supervise who will give them a first lesson in how a scab should be treated. Kids everywhere should be unrelenting in their abuse, delinquency and contempt for these vermin who would happily help to destroy the education system, and not even take pay for doing so. Give them hell kids. And if the fuckers complain tell everyone they tried to touch you up.

And on that note let’s finish on a song:

It’s in the evening after dark,
When the blackleg miner creeps to work,
With his moleskin pants and dirty shirt,
There goes the blackleg miner!

Well he takes his tools and doon he goes
To hew the coal that lies below,
There’s not a woman in this town-row
Will look at the blackleg miner.

Oh, Seghill is a terrible place.
They rub wet clay in the blackleg’s face,
And around the heaps they run a foot race,
To catch the blackleg miner!

So, dinna gan near the Delaval mine.
Across the way they stretch a line,
To catch the throat and break the spine
Of the dirty blackleg miner.

They grab his duds and his pick as well,
And they hoy them down the pit of hell.
Doon ye go, and fare ye well,
You dirty blackleg miner!

Blackleg Miner – Traditional English Folk Song

School’s Out Forever

Well for a day at least.

The sub-Standard are reporting that up to 500o schools are likely to close or be affected due to the strike by the NUT planned fot tomorrow. Despite the sub-Standard’s hectoring tone a recent survey showed that most parents support the Union’s actions, the four year old here certainly does.

More impressive though is the story of the 150 schoolkids who walked out of school in Wales earlier this in week in protest at redundancies amongst the teaching staff. Three kids were arrested after leaving their lessons and blocking the road outside the Pontllanfraith Comprehensive school in South Wales.

Three pupils held in teacher redundancy protest

At the other end of the age-scale normally genteel bowls players in Gloucestershire were shocked when 7 cops turned up with sirens blazing to stop an illegal bowls match.

The local bowling club in Bradley Stoke have been in a long running dispute with the Council who want to increase rental fees by some 50%.

Club members say many of them are on pensions and cannot afford the price hike.

So after some crafty scamp removed the padlock and chain locking the Green it seems the bowling team decided to recalaim the green and hold a match to protest at the Council’s decision.

As ever the police response was heavy-handed and over-proportionate.

Margaret Thompson, secretary of North Avon Bowls Club, said: “Within 10 minutes two policemen arrived, followed swiftly by five more police with sirens wailing.

“There was a total of seven police and four cars. They originally charged us with criminal damage and threatened arrest but after discussions they decided it was a civil matter and as it was a peaceful protest, we then left the green.”
