5342 responses reported on one of the lists. Way to GO, people! Most government consultations don't get anywhere close to that.
The huge response is exactly as it should be as it helps to demonstrate the strength and depth of feeling across the home education community about the damaging nature of Mr Badman's proposals.
Someone commented "He's got large numbers of EHEers all pointing in the same direction. I don't think he likes it, however, 'cos we're all pointing at him!"
Now, we just have to wait and see if Balls dares to worsen his bully-boy image by ignoring us.
I so, so hope these numbers are going to say what we want them to say. But whatever happens, we've done an amazing job of a calm, collected and intelligent response. Now, if only i could believe we were going to get listened to.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we should gather all our consultation responses and hand them in to Number 10.

I think we should consign Badman to the dustbin of history, and flush him down the toilet reserved for his particular type of odious, brown-nosing civil servants.
ReplyDeleteThe real enemy of the piece, the Mr Big of this particular syndicate, is Balls. He is out of control and must be stopped.
Remember remember the 5th of November.... Ah, those were the days! ;)
