PK99, in your own link, Julian Hunt it's noted that he "....teaches and lectures on modern British history at Queen Mary, University of London in Mile End, East London"
So, he teaches students with a range of abilities from a cross section of the British education system. He is involved in education- seems a good starting point to be Shadow Education Secretary.

[QUOTE 3180764, member: 45"]On a similar vein, I've just completed a(n imaginary) reshuffle in our office. The IT bloke is now the cleaner, the cleaner is accounts manager, the accounts manager the caretaker, and the caretaker in charge of IT.

I'll leave it a bit until they've learned the bare minimum about their new job, then move them again.

That's the logic, isn't it?[/QUOTE]
It's the system designed by the Civil Service to ensure that elected politicians don't get to know anything important or know what they are doing, so that the establishment always get their way, protecting the status quo of status and privilege.

Don;t you believe it. Despite it's location, Queen Mary's is quite exclusive....
It can't be, my sister went there.

If it's like all the other colleges of London University (I also went to another of them) then there are all sorts of people there.

I also like that his dad is described as "a meteorologist" - he obviously needed a day job.

Anyone want to be appalled at the fact that Liam Fox was offered a Foreign Office post by Cameron but turned it down? I mean, Callmedave actually offered this lying, corrupt little shot a place in government.

They couldn't find a forklift or crane strong enough to lift him and the only other option was to demolish the building to get him out. Give the state of the public finances, that latter option wasn't available (unless they ask the Israeli's for a surgical strike - and we all know what that means for "collateral damage"....) so they decided it was just easier all round to leave him where he was.
He's in a government office, and you think collateral damage is a bad thing?

Morgan is now education secretary and minister for women and equalities.
Yeah, seems like they've decided it's somehow ok after all. They have given the task of seeing through the gay marriage legislation to someone else, a gay bloke who's already in a civil partnership.

Ah well, perhaps we shouldn't expect any useful improvement in Education policy then.

I worked up the HA housing and sheltered housing on the site of Queen Mary's Hospital at Stratford- seemed a decent enough place - I have a couple of friends who went to University of London from my comprehensive- they didn't seem phased by it [but it was 37 years ago!]

........Mrs R says that you did a good job - she likes those houses and wants to know if you did the lock keepers cottage on the QM Mile End site.
The Lock keeper's Cottage.... how old do you think I am? :laugh: No, just the new ones, well they were new in the 90s [the 1990s before you ask], but that's just yesterday.....
