The next Government

[SoundMan]

Yes there does seem to be a bit of a backlash from the squeezed middle or those who are just above the threshold, Im not saying i agree with it,
FYI i do not have any political heroes, There is a difference between doing something to help back to school a bit earlier and having a 1.5 billion
emergency budget in july,

Back to school is financial pinch time for most households in this state. As I argued with you previously sticking rigidly to a budget in October nearly two months later made no sense. And the Government eventually woke up to that fact.

I have decided to just buy uniforms for the kids in school colours un crested, many are doing the same,
The school BOM can like it or like it,

I think most schools will go that way tbh. That and the farce of recommended school books being changed every couple of years, either in revision or to a completely new title. In two or three years the likes of history and maths haven't changed much but the f**ken books seem to. Who is getting that extra money and why?

Re the free school travel, will that just create a surge in demand and mean demand far out strips supply?
Take a family who normally drive the kids to school, they will now see the bus as the best option,

Trying to wean people away from their private cars and into using busses is part of the Green Agenda jimmy. It means less vehicles on the road and less fuels burnt if the families that normally drive their kids to school put them on the bus.

The two greenies that lost the whip and McSharry are still voting with the government. McHugh will probably continue to do so in future.

To be fair to him and indeed the Mica crowd, they have a very valid point about the foundations that The Government says they are not allowing for.
