DAVID MILIBAND: MORE LABOUR SLEAZE UNCOVERED

"A new cabinet minister has become embroiled in the cash for honours scandal. David Miliband, often touted as a "next generation" successor to Tony Blair, was named in covert tape recordings by a former government adviser arrested last week.

The adviser recommended that a businessman should target Miliband if he wanted to secure a knighthood in return for sponsoring a city academy."

There is much unhappiness about the 'City Academy' programme, which is seen by many in education as a way of using spin to cover up the failures of the British education system, which has been wrecked under the New Labour government. £5 Billion has already been invested, and even the teaching unions, who are generally supportive of Labour initiatives, are calling for the abandonment of this particular project.

The fact that education of children has been perverted into another opportunity for sleaze, corruption, patronage, and the enrichment of New Labour and its supporters is of no surprise to political observers.
