As they disintegrate at the polls, Labour is losing its collective mind. Lunatic policies, unworthy of a serious government party, are being introduced in almost every department; Harman's non-equality bill, Jacqui Smith's proposal to mark kids as troublemakers at the age of 5, and now this.
I wish to God I were joking, but senior examiners are being instructed to award a child points for writing "f--- off" on an examination paper. If they add an exclamation mark, they'll get more points. For using the correct punctuation.
Points for rudeness and thuggery. Does anybody want to argue with me that our qualifications are not being dumbed down? As a mother of three, I am so furious. Labour's slumping standards are a betrayal of our children. I'd like to suppose this story will be the nadir of Labour policy, but I have no such confidence. Paging Michael Gove; the Conservative mission must be to rescue a generation being left behind.
