What a day!
Had a very good business meeting this morning and really mapped out the future development of education. For those who do not know I run an education charity and one of the projects is how we can really use technology, in a sustaniable way, to transform the delivery of education - no small agenda. Sadly though not an agenda this Government gets because change relies on decentralisation to entrepreneurial head teachers rather than the over centralising instincts of Labour.
The young French girl staying with us also took her first visit to London. Our city is apparently "big", "exciting" and the "best place in the world". We cynical British sometimes forget the asset we have in London. Despite all the problems of Mayor Livingstone, and the horrors he will send over the next four years, this is a great place to live!
Did you hear the monstrous wash up from my article about the rain and delayed trains? Apparently Thames Water pumped a million litres of sewage into the Thames and now there has been a massacre of the fish we have seen populate this once foul river. What is going on? I will tell you. So desperate have the Government been to increase house numbers in london that they have built like mad without attending to the infrastructure issues that are inevitably there. My view is it is about time the developers started paying premiums to pay for the extra drainage and sewage required to accommodate these homes. If developers do not like it then do not build the homes. Do you think it will stop them?
