Ruth Kelly
She has been done to death (if not literally) elsewhere, but one might note that Ofsted's last report on Bolton judged its special needs provision 'good' or 'highly satisfactory' (page 29) on all measures.
We can all be absolutely certain she will staying in Bolton if she loses her marginal seat (maj. 2,064) at the next election, so she won't have to put her child ahead of her politics for very long, will she?

You can skip to the end and leave a response.
Yes front page of the Mirror and she apparently tried to keep this quiet which is even worse. She is often complimented for keeping her personal life /religion , seperate from her political role ....on the gays for example .
A sort of consistency ?
What role of dishonour there is on this old lefty achilles heel
I usually start with Dianne Abbot
".. yes but my boys are black "
Astounding ..unique ...special; circumstances no doubt about it.
The subtler trick is to move or buy another house which keeops you in the few bright bits of the state system. Blairs ...taught by my Bro at the Oratory.
No Verity few PHITCH?
Socialism seems to be an inherited disease with the side-effect of weakening people. The more socialist genes you have, the weaker the offspring.
Ruth Kelly, who is also very fat and I think fat people also have weak genes (or weak willpower) was pictured in The Telegraph leaving, I guess, her office with a big soft drink in her hand. For one thing, government ministers should not be appearing on the street carrying soft drinks or eating hand food. For another thing, I'll bet it was not a diet drink. I'm sure she has a "special needs" craving for sugar (there will be a medical name for this affliction).
This government really are a gang of yahoos, aren't they?
I've just seen your comment, Newmania, but as Croydonian mentions in his blog, Bolton apparently has a good reputation for "special needs" education.
This fat slobbo should resign. That'll be the day. Diane Abbott is also fat. I think there's a genetic connection between fat people and "special needs" requirements for education.
Fat people do suffer though god I laughed at this ..Tex Avery in real life.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/01/03/wcave03.xml
She doesn't say what the kid's affliction is, but I will bet you anything it's our old friend "attention deficiency disordere", which you get from eating TOO MUCH SUGAR.
On the other hand, it may just be "stupidity", which you get from being born into a socialist household.
Newmania _ your link to 'fat woman stuck in cave' was hilarious _ I have passed it on. (feeling rather glad I have lost 2 stone in the last 10 weeks....)
V _ I shall look forward to reading 'My sugar addiction hell' by Ruth Kelly in the News of the screws, when she is ready to be rehabilitated.... As for Diane Abbott, it's unlikely to be sugar addiction which explains her obesity. The fat whites in these parts seem to gorge on sugar and booze but the blacks on the equally fattening fried chicken. Every other storefront in Tottenham is a 'finger-lickin chickin' outlet....
I had to pause to make a second cup of tea and put out the garbage. We get three pick-ups a week here. For which we pay a bank-breaking 62P a month.
Ruth Kelly should resign on grounds of needing to spend more time with her fridge. On second thoughts, nah. She'll have a fridge in her office - probably a jumbo with double doors - and it will be LOADED. What's the betting she also has a microwave for those distracting moments when one feels peckish and can't concentrate.
Good spot N. I am intrigued as to how they were able to get blankets and a rescue bod around the behemoth.
V - Any chance they will collect in these parts? I expect you don't have a bin gestapo monitoring what you throw out either. Sigh....
Maybe RK will treat herself to a new hair shirt to mark the occasion.
A net £15k a year means she needs to "earn" £25k pa to pay those fees, her husband doesn't work (the pansy) I would love to see her out on her ear really struggling.
Unfortunately no doubt there area few quango position lined up for if she does resign.
If the useless conservative party do get in abolishing quangos would be a great move, all they do is provide an income for socialist leeches.
The nigh Oona King lost her seat i thought , hm how long before she has a job on a quango?
about two months as it was
Absolutely, bring on the bonfire of the quangos (bar the Maritime & Coastguard Agency, who are clearly preux chevaliers to a man).
Meanwhile Oona still describes herself as an MP in her title bar.
Oona King's father was a black American draft dodger.
Ruth Kelly will buy her clothes in a department or a store with a euphemistic name. Jolly Big Girls. Large & Lovely. More Woman. Or something like that.
Oona King has one of the most punchable faces I have ever seen , I dont go in for hitting women , but in her case I would make an exception.
She answers all questions with a "look I think you are retarded so I will speak very slooooooowly" smile.
I have an "off colur" story my uncle told me this afternon if anybody want to read it?
Its true and involves a polish daschund
My uncle manufactures corporate uniforms, his factory was in Poland,he has now moved production to Morocco, we were talking about how cold it gets in eastern europe, I mentioned that a friend of mine described getting off an aircraft in the ukraine and his balls shooting up into his tummy it was that cold.
anyway, my uncles Polish business associate has a daschund, taking it for its daily constitutional he tied it to a lamp post whilst he went into a shop, when he came out the dogs balls were frozen to the pavement (+:
He didn't ask how they released poor fido, hopefully not with a chisel and hammer.
So much for Polish workers , my uncle hates them , prefers the Arabs.
Same with Steve Hichens the late (not late enough ) unlamented Duce of Islington`s jewel in the crown Liberal Coucil. Some candidate diversity nonsense which he runs. His wife is a minor aristo and this all lead to Suz getting kicked out of the Liberal Party.
She may be a little bitter judgu-ing from this comment from a life long Liberal activist ..sad really
"Being realistic and looking forward, the only real way to get rid of Gordon Brown and the Labour party will be to vote for David Cameron."
Poor beast. I'm not the biggest fan of pets going, but dachshunds seem quite pleasant animals, unless one is a badger of course.
maybe it was badger with a grudge that held the dogs privates to the pavement until they stuck?
vindictive animals are badgers.
I used to have two stuffed ones, mother and baby badger.
Even more unfashionable my mother has a box full of baby ocelot skins and two leopard skins , a leftover from her time in the fur trade, we had a box full of leopards but they rotted
It would have had to have been a very talented badger.
The grandfather of Ma C was a furrier in Manchester, many, many years ago.
At least you don`t have a Gorilla coat PHITCH.I have never seen the problem with fur. What do they think the last thing a wild animal sees is ..his weeping relatives clustered at his bedside ? No its a great big mouth full of snappers about eat him. Don`t they know what an animal is ?
Bet noone but me know where the phrase the whole nine yards comes from..because I`m best.

Croydonian, you are very feline. You are definitely a cat person, which is why you don't know much about dogs.
PHitch, yes, Oona King is one of those people whose face should connect with something hard and immovable, just to get the self-satisfied look erased.
BTW, Iain is having the vile Rachel North to kick off the new 18 Doughty Street season. What is it with Iain and this Ken Livingstone fan?
Neither do I. Given that mink are farmed in the same way as sheep, I can see no difference between making use of the hides of either.
Nine yards of ammunition fired from a fighter plane, I believe. (Minor footnote - I think the gallic term, avion de chasse, is rather more apt than fighter)
Oh Christ she really is a pain. I have suggested some questions on education for Willets .....
Why have people stopped bashing Ruth Kelly. She's fat. There's plenty to bash. What kind of a lynch mob is this?
Well I have my flaming torch ready and and a couple of baying hounds.
Verity I mentioned this elsewhere, What sort of man could be interested in kelly?
forget her looks (yuk) but THE VOICE!
it would be like sleeping with barry white
Its the ..don`t wear much makeup look of saintly self mortification I find troubling ...having said that V I must admit I dislike her less than most of them
I cannot join your lynch mob , tempting thought the glittering company is.I would give her a mild kicking leaving no facila scarring.You have to get these gradations right
She was very nasty to the nasty religious extremists of the BMC which was confusing . I wonder if she whips herself.I bet she spurns soft toilet paper and man made fibres.I dead to think what strange practices go on when she is alone.She probably feels so guilty she is verging on orgasm most of the normal working day
Love Voyager on Dale he amplifies a point i was making about the Mirror plus some
She would also have been wiser to have released this information herself
but no Iain she obtained a Court Order to prevent it being made public and The Daily Mirror has defied the High Court Order and will defend it under Public Interest Defence.
I know Ruth Kelly worked on The Guardian and is schooled in Polly Toynbee hypocrisy and cant but Mrs Gadd who has form over Equitable Life when at The Treasury, should really consider whether she is not just another careerist on the make.
I wonder what her IRA Quartermaster grandfather would make of her elevation to the "Do as I say, don't do as I do" realms of the British Govt ?
He really is clever sod
N - That post that was withdrawn on Outfromunder was something to do with an investigation into Steve Hitchens. I hear not the first either.
"good" and "highly satisfactory" sounds ok to me, why wasn't that the case for Ruth Kelly's child?
To Verity's point of a considerable time earlier. I would lay a large bet that Mrs Kelly does in deed have a fully stocked fridge at work.
As a socialist and state dependee she would of course be most happy to have the state pay for her extra food at work and not have to spend her 'own' money. She probably carries bags of the stuff home too.
I noticed a frequency of this behaviour when I used to live opposite the Wesminster Council Offices.
I think La Kelly's gravest personal tort is her awful hair, and she fails to supply even the limited level of amusement that Shirley Williams managed from time to time.
Ellee - I fear it is the argument of big nanny everywhere - it's not what I do, it's what I say.
I have a tip for Ruth Kelly.
Some friends of mine in North London (yeah) send their kids to a school where parents are very aspirational for their offspring. When some brat fails to zoom ahead according to aspirational norms, brat's parents kick up a fuss and school calls in Educational Psychologist.
Psycholgist deliberates carefully, sucks on pen then puts on serious face and pronounces solemnly that Little Sam Is In Fact A Genius, then issues Certificate of Genius (along with invoice). Parents are v satisfied, it confirms wot they knew all along, everyone happy!
It's easy when you know how.
City Unslicker - Definitely the fridge will be kept stocked by her secretary or whatever. It will be loaded with soft drinks, snacks, sandwiches, microwavable pizzas and spaghetti dishes for when she's "just too busy to go to lunch". I suspect that this is one gal who munches her way through the day.
I mean, to be leaving a government ministry carrying a "big gulp" style drink?
And the kid's only dyslexic! It doesn't have learning difficulties. Just a trendy complaint that is remedial. For this she had to "seek medical advice"? Oh, God, they lie, they camouflage,they take the electorate for suckers ...
A fellow over on Iain's thinks this whole thing could be false anyway. An excuse to withdraw her child from state education.
she won't lose
Dyslexia can be spelt S T U P I D usually
Newmania - I believe there are alternate spellings, one of which is l-a-z-y and the other of which is a-t-t-e-n-t-i-o-n s-e-e-k-e-r.
It may be a genuine, very minor, complaint with some people. Richard Branson is dyslexic, but I suspect he just wasn't interested at school and couldn't be bothered to apply himself. It was hardly the end of the world for him.
I worked for a woman who claimed to be dyslexic, but I never saw any signs of it. She was very sharp indeed and could speed-read reports.
I think this is a cheap, Labourite trick to change the kid over to private education. They're such liars, cheats and deceivers.
PHitch - Tee hee for your comment over at Iain's place.
Iain stopped my slanging match with the axe-murderer.
Ruth Kelly's kid's been at the servers in Doughty Street today I ffear.
CU - I didn't know you were Welsh!
V
ty
If you haven't tried www.fredoneverything.net
Do so (if you like) he live in Mexico, an American ex pat, no fan of Bush the younger but a fan of 41, he is a little like our C, serious but with a nose for the ridiculous.
I think you may enjoy his jottings.
I may be wrong.
CU Its the curse of the axe murderer !
Im serious, individuals such as Hirst bring disaster.
I wish we could be rid of him too. More benning required!
I am not welsh but was once diagnosed as dyslexic.
Oddly I seemed to overcome it by trying hard. All mispelling now is just because I type too fast and hit publish.
Thanks, Phitch! Actually, I'd forgotten about Fred. Yes, I'm familiar with the site although haven't thought about it for around a year.
He's like that Gonzo journalist whose name I cannot remember - what was his name??? This will now drive me crazy. I can see his face but not his name in my mind's eye.
I don't think Fred's like Croydonian at all. Our host here is a much smoother, better looking, better tailored and better informed character. But he is quite amusing for about 15 minutes or so for a couple of weeks, before one thinks, "Oh, shut up!"
But thanks. I am going to have a whisky and soda in about half an hour and I'll have a read. He may have some comments on our new president, who has come in like gangbusters, if anyone's interested. If anyone can think of the American iconoclast's name - I think he called himself Dr something - please let me know!
Hunter S Thompson.
Greatly missed.
Wasn't JLH's night, was it? Shame....
V - Can't say I know of this Fred character, but thank you for the kind words.
Ah, Dr T. He lost it a bit towards the end, but in his prime he was a colossus.
Well, yes, Croydonian, I would say he lost it a bit in the end, given that he shot himself in the face.
You should have a peek at Fred, though. I don't see the resemblance that PHitch sees, and if you go to the site, I don't think you will, either. But some of it is funny.
Re the axe old-lady killer, I don't know whether Iain is actually going to have him on or not. But he is definitely expecting to go on. He is working very hard at being collegiate and one of the gang with a rash of truly boring, trite, unoriginal posts.
CU - What does 'more benning required!' mean? I tried to work out what it could have been if it was a typo, but couldn't.
Thanks, PHitch. I've just poured a whisky and I'm going to Fred's site.
C
He was all dressed up with nowhere to go.
Probably sat in his bijou, dog hair coated hovel (owned by his legally aided barrister) plotting mad revenge.
I must find out who his barrister is.
His/her client claims legal aid and benefits and uses those benefits to pay for a house owned by his legal counsel.
Interesting.
City Slicker is an exceedingly well tailored Old Harrovian verity . "Benning" is almost certainly an arcane ritual that has taken place behind Big House since 1753.It probably includes brutal and faintly homo-erotic sadism.
I would guess that Benning is the practice of chasing some poor wretch naked around the local village .The pursuing bloods will scream yaroop and sqeal piggy sqeal in time honoured fashion.
Sounds like just the thing
18DS were also going to discuss bullying on blogs/post as well. Sound familiar to anyone on this blog?
I'd guess it was a typo by CU for banning, as I think calling in the full available forces from Fort Benning might be overkill. Although having just seen N's theory, he might be on to something.
PH - Yes, a rum business.

fuck off !
or you will be made to "walk the tunnel"
Walk the tunnel?
D at 11.35 - Nope, that rings no bells. There is the occasional flash of irritation here and there, but I am fortunate to have very convivial regulars, and anyone new who turns up and wishes to add wit, insight or both to any topic at hand is welcome.
run through a line of bigger boys punching and kicking you, one of the many benefits ruth kellys son will gain from a private education
PH - I would hope that will not be necessary. It was a favourite at my school, along with sundry other horrors.
Oh apologies. Went to mainstream school
Meanwhile, folk might find the current ranking of sundry political blogs by popular vote at this place interesting.
you say "mainstream"
When I read about the so called brutality in current state schools it makes me laugh.
At my school we used to bring guns along (air pistols and rifles) shotguns if you had a certificate (sometimes not) nobody bothered, everybody had a pocket knife, we even used to have airgun fights at lunch time.
Year after I left some pupils broke into the school gym and burnt it down for a laugh.
Hulme Hall , Cheadle Hulme.
Im 43 , it wasnt so long ago.
Who is this posting little questions?
I haven't encountered any blog bullying - except that of the vague, dark threats of the axe killer. But then, we knew he was a bully, didn't we?
18DS has got the prog we were all looking forward available to watch as video on demand now...
What programme we were all looking forward to. If it's the killer, I'm not interested in anything he has to say.
Also, Croydonian, I tried to suggest your blog on that link, but it just kept saying "Page Not Found".
What does Blog bullying mean anyway. I can think of awful things that have been said about me but what difference can it possibly make to anything. I noticed that dreadful Rachel putting up something about it; God she does love to talk about herself doesn`t she.
OK ,a common failing but so tediously as well and at such interminable length.
Please Lord don’t send me to hell and make me sit for eternity listening to that "Don’t touch me or I `ll bleed" auto panegyric.
Hear thy servants fervent prayer
same here V ...oh good I assume it was my fault.
Did he ask any of my questions on Education?
It is the blogger show where they are (at the mo') talking about blog bullying / flaming etc. Shall we say that knives were being sharpened in certain quarters given that Recess Monkey is, or rather was, on.
18 DS is rubbish
they didnt mention me once!
I wasn't trying to boost myself, but was rather enjoying that my pal Dizzy was outperforming Fawkes and the Dalemeister.
rachel is a big pie taster
North londons seesaw champion
Woeful, eh Hitch? JC's just made an interesting point about joint blogger legal defence fund, which is something I was thinking about posting about earlier on.
OK, tell us what they said, please, Croydonian, but with your normal succinctness and wit, as opposed to the emotional drivelling people like Rachel North. I wish Iain would get a witty, clever woman on. Perhaps he doesn't know any. Actually, I wouldn't mind seeing Edwina Curry on Doughty St. (I missed Anne Widdecombe.)
I ranked Iain's blog No 2, BTW, and was going to rate Croydonian No 1, but it wouldn't work. I hadn't chosen a No 3. Guido is himself worldly and entertaining, but he seems to attract a lot of adolescent boys and/or young, self-regarding, trite minions.
BTW, Cameron announcing he's sending his kid to a local comprehensive. No. No. And no.
Cameron has to go.
I do enjoy Dizzy on Doughty St. He has very good presence and he has a twinkle.
I really loathe David Cameron. He comes in third after Blair and Brown.
I'm only part way in, but at the moment Recess Monkey is dominating, with Iain an active host fighting the good fight. James has had the odd word in, so has the yawn inducing Rachel, while the other two bids of whom I have never heard are near as damn it mute.
As to content, that has meandered wildly from the issue of flaming and the like, although when that was addressed there was talk of legal issues, giving the odd steer and avoiding ad hominems. PragueT got a mention by RecessMonkey for 'directing barbs at him', and I am peeved on PT's behalf that with there being no interactivity that he could not call RM on his jibes about the disabled, given that he regards we of the right as automatically being hateful racists / homophobes, beyond the pale of decency etc etc.
Meanwhile JC is now getting a few more words in edgeways, which is good.
At the risk of embarassing Dizzy, he is a hugely entertaining chap in real life too.
James is too normal for politics, obviously a sound bloke.
Recess is probably a good sort, just demented (probably autistic)
And that fat bitch needs a slap, full of herself, shame its mainly suet (hitchens is on thin ice here)
That intense type on the left probably has more books that I have firearms ,or knives , forks and plates combined.
Yes, I can see that Dizzy would be great company.
If they do a re-run, I'll watch it. But in real time, it begins at inconvenient time for me.
Also, I have complained to Iain before about the sound quality. Sometimes it just sounds like hens who have found a nice comfortable couch chuntering away. I can always hear Iain and the person who is sitting next to him clearly, but the sound on the couch has a more quixotic quality.
James is a top chap and a thoroughly entertaining fellow. Shame he's not taking on RM a tad more. I've said it before, and I 'll say it now (and doubtless again in the future...), I would probably have more in common with Hilton (RM), for example, than the average 'civilian' on the grounds that we both think that the political process is important and makes a difference.
Like the crack about books, weapons, utensils and crockery, by the way.
V - It should, via the right combination of clicks, be available as video on demand for whenever suits.
Do us a favour Ceeeeeeeeeeeeeee, name names so we know to whom you're referring in instances such as this. RM? Who knows? Who cares? It's really offputting.
verity: I do enjoy Dizzy on Doughty St. He has very good presence and he has a twinkle.
My one and only fan!
Verity - sorry, just engaging in compulsive abbreviation. RM is RecessMonkey.
I have just put this on Rachel from North London . I wonder if this will fall into the acceptable sphere
The best Blog by a country mile is Croydonian. .Conservative Home doesn’t count, its just a recasting of old ideas in a new media . The Blog that is true to the "Radical Majority" , is Croydonian.he is also ahead of the news consistently and keeps the focus on news politics and current affairs .
I noticed with horror on Doughty street the efforts of Recess Monkey and your good self to start stopping people saying what they like.
We know where that ends don’t we in the damn Socialist Party you aren’t even allowed to think the unthinkable.
For worst Blog I nominate, apart from the “obvious “; Recess Monkey . To him the most important thing about the Conservative Parry is that it is , says he , racists and "Homophobic"…ok actually h e is very good but I loathe his preening self serving pretence of “Social concern”
I have a suggestion as I assume Gordon “the lying Scotsman” Brown is going to want a new name why not call the Labour Party the Homosexual , pro immigration anti – country party. That should please the Union support who pay for the whole thing. To worry about immigration levels is not racists and to be concerned about the over representation of homosexuals in parliament the media and the centres of power is not “Homophobic “. Legislation is running far ahead of the wishes of the country and is directly taking on religious believers of all sorts . What gives the State the right to settle this argument to meddle .What was the problem before?
AND annuvver fing , how could all sit around agreeing that Ruth Kelly`s behaviour is perfectly understandable . They have taken the schools and communitites that gave the poor a chance away, the Grammars , and either moved out of the areas or bought themselves out . Dyslexia , there is no such thing and it is spelt S-T-U-P-I-D or E-X-C-U--S-E…if there is . The working people of the country o whom these options are unavailable are bound to want to know whether the dispensation of schools with 8 languages actually applies to the people whose fault it was . Its no surprise that she feels her children are a special case , all our children are special case. Yes what she does is understandable if she had not spent here life telling other people it was selfish one would actively applaud her. This is called lying in the lives of ordinary people. Have you entirely ceased to care about such details?
When did the Blogasphere become even more tedious than the mainstream media . I can see whats happening here.It will soon be as independent as the independent film industry . Worse than the mainstream who everyone you are , for the most part , trying to slither into .
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Does that come within the limits of the sayable , I have no idea and I do not intend to start worrying about it .I need to enjoy myself before they take every penny I earn and replace it with vouchers for acquiring beetroot soup and state dungarees !!
Oh well better get back to work.
BTW It is my dearest wish that C and other right thinking peole manage to slither into the mainstream media . Double standards moi ?
James Claverly was good and so was Iain .
That might stir things up a touch....
To much ? Perhaps
New thread on this?
Good idea.
N your fourth para speaks what the poeople are saying.
If you stand for London mayor,....
you are so right.it was on the radio this morning ,religious people banned from stopping hom osexuals sharing at their B&B.be they muslim/christian.That ain't freedom
who said one mans freedom was naothers prison
N - it isn't there. A mispost, or have you been 'moderated' out of existence?
the latter I assume . Its alaways the same with ..can we agree parameters. personal abuse you have to watch but people and politics are not unrelated
You cannot take that element out of the right .Politics and people are the same thing
The towering impudence of T Blair legislating kindergarten rules of behaviour for free adults is another reason to loathe him and wish him ill.
The vast, vast majority of adults worldwide are well able to regulate their own behaviour. Most people aren't particularly interested in abusing - ooops! 'abusing' is socialist-speak - insulting others, and they know that being particularly outrageous might get them a bloody nose or pushed into the oncoming traffic.
What did we on these islands do for 2,000 before Emily descended from a golden cloud to reveal the truth? Maybe Emily's the 12th imam. Or, in her case, imamette.
She does have rather a lot of chins.
