The Clarkson Mandelson Show (Here's The Rope, Jeremy)

Get me a rope before Mandelson wipes us all out | Jeremy Clarkson - Times Online

Jeremy Clarkson has a go at Mandelson and a thousand and one other things (and nations). Classic read.

Then read Puddlecote's comments and you'll get the impression that something is definitely brewing.

Mandelson Plans More Shit For Universities

University drop-out rates and graduate earnings to be tagged

University courses are to be tagged with their drop-out rates, graduates' future earnings and the number of contact hours students can expect with tutors. The move, which will be modelled on a food-labelling system, is part of a consumer revolution in higher education to be unveiled this week by Lord Mandelson, the universities secretary.

Students should be treated more as paying customers and given better information about the quality of their courses before they embark on a degree, the new government framework for universities is expected to say on Tuesday.

Yes! Just what we need! More fucking bureaucracy and fake statistics! More PR! More shit! Less learning! It's 1968 all over again, this time without the barricades! Students decide what they want to learn! Yeah! And if they don't get the grades they want they can blame their tutors!

Still, Mandelson's making 15 Year Plans when his government will be out on their arse within a year.

Trouble is, the Tories won't be any bloody better.

The Biggest Whore Of The Lot

Lord Mandelson: I would work for the Tories.

Lord Mandelson has disclosed that he is ready to accept a job under a future Conservative government.

In an interview with The Sunday Times magazine, the business secretary said he would be willing to put his “experience at the disposal of the country”, if Labour lost power. “As I grow older, I can imagine more ways of serving my country than simply being a party politician,” he said.

The best way of serving the country would be for him to fuck off and die.
