Culture Hour, more New Labour fuckwittery.

Another day and another desperate attempt for a policy on the part of this run down, corrupt, amoral government. The latest desperate wheeze is "culture hour", how very Cool Britannia.

Andy Burnham, the Culture Secretary, and Ed Balls, the Children's Secretary, will launch the scheme at the Young Vic theatre in London.

Schoolchildren will be taken to the opera and theatre under plans to offer all teenagers at least five hours of culture a week.

Ministers want pupils of all ages to be offered at least an hour a day of culture during the week.

**If the poor sods in the schools have teachers like some that I had, I wonder if the culture hour might be an hour of being bored shitless listening to some commie prick of a teacher imposing his/her views on how the USSR was going to win the cold war.

Although these days it might be a moral lecture on the benefits of Sharia law.

At first, the scheme will run as a series of pilots but Mr Burnham will say that, eventually, the Government intends all children to have access to five hours of culture a week as a right.

A source at the Department for Culture said: "This is part of the Government's drive to unlock the creative talent of all young people. - But details, where are the details?

"Participating in cultural activities can have a huge impact on a child's development, in terms of developing their skills and appreciation and helping them to learn. -Again details, what does it mean, what will they be involved in?

"The Government wants every child to have the chance to develop their artistic and creative skills." - Quite what that means they do not elaborate but you can bet that lots of Guardian reading media types are looking forward to a cushy job at the tax payers expense.

**Ever happy to find new ways to waste our money, the government is setting aside £25 million for this project, that's £15 per pupil, per week.

You just know that this is going to end in a complete and utter farce, the idea is just so vague as to be non-fucking-existent. Quite who defines what culture is and what part of that is exposed to the children as part of the latest experiment by government?

Although it comes as no surprise that Ed Balls - a man incapable of listing the colours of the rainbow - link - is behind it.

Still Ed, our very own New Labour Piers Fletcher-Dervish and ample proof as I said before:

A chinless New Labour wonder that shows that in some parts of the country inbreeding is still a major lifestyle choice.

Oh and on top of his wage he blagged £157,076 in expenses. Not bad for what is a walking hatstand.

Ed Balls - would the real Piers Fletcher-Dervish please stand up
Post on Ed Balls being unable of handling the simplest of brain activity.
