It's stupid ideas like this that make you want to vote Tory.

 

I couldn't think of a better way to stop the work-shy getting off their lazy asses than by giving them a free computer and free connection to a bottomless pit of porn.

 

The most annoying thing is you can guarantee this dumb idea was thought up by some idiot on the public sector gravy train who is completely devorced from the real world and hasn't got a clue how ordinary working people feel about having their taxes ****ed up the wall in this way.

I also have a work laptop...would never take it away from work..as I have my own to annoy you lot with....

 

also, rubbish idea...up there with the free uni for the kids of the war dead...they are trying to buy votes

 

seeing as a perfectly sensible bloke/woman needs a CRB check to be near kids in case they feel the urge...do we really trust some of these scummy families to be let loose in the innernets

 

And high earning people can be completely trusted on the internet fo sho!

Since when did you need a laptop to go to school? I got my first laptop for my 18th birthday, barely 2 months before I left school. We didn't even have broadband in my house at all until I was 16. This is just a bullsh*t scheme to try and buy votes. There is no way the laptops are going to be used for their intended purposes. When I was in school/college, and this was only 4 or 5 years ago, my grades were sent home to my parents in an envelope on a piece of A4 paper, along with my attendance record.

 

As for using them for school work... well, my school had text books and an I.T. room or two. I wouldn't have called it a particularly posh school, but perhaps I have been misinformed. As people have also said, what is particularly wrong with libraries?

 

Overall it's a terrible waste of money IMO. Especially when there are people fighting in the Middle East with badly outdated and insufficient equipment.

 

I wouldn't say the whole keep up with the kids progress is a valid argument. I still receive paper reports for my daughter at secondary school and the ones at primary.

 

I would honestly say that children at secondary school are at a reasonable disadvantage without a PC though. At least, that's what I've seen from my daughters 2 years at St Annes. She does an awful lot of work in Office (primarily PPT and Word with a little Excel). I know there's the ability to use the library, but they don't have nearly enough computers, my local library PCs are always busy.

 

Vote buying, yeh so what, they're all up to it! More lies and BS coming our way in the next six months. Which leads me onto.....

 

Cracking cover on the front of the latest Private Eye, certainly made me chuckle!
