David Cameron doesnt seem to get that the problems in "the community" are largely being caused by the religion of the community. Watching the tv programme "River Monsters" last night, i saw the presenter extremely worried by the fact that the chief of the villiage on the congo he was fishing from, was missing. The reason? Some of the villagers had intended to stone him to death if the chief wasnt found alive, the assumption being that the presenter was "bad medicine".
Religion and education are mutually exclusive. That's the point Dave.
Stop trying to cut the education bill by passing the buck(s) to relics of outmoded belief systems.
