We are fabulous

We are genuinely interested in the issues

We are fabulous

We won't be horrid to him because that isn't the point.

We aren't remotely interested in his fave biccie or the speed at which he can type.

Oh... and we are fabulous.

That about covers it Beth!

We are the electorate. He is an elected minister. It seems to me pretty much de facto that he should listen to our concerns and represent us. He is Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families - an area we here are all interested and involved in. If he’s too busy to talk to us now, he may find his diary less full after the next general election.

Mm good point!
Maybe he could actually win some votes if his webchat is well received?

ursh x

Thing is, Amy can set it up so it's pre-set questions, so there's no risk of it turning into a mumsnet-esque bullying session- not that I think that would happen here anyway, but I suspect ministers are cautious after the recent shenanigans.

So, allowing for that, there's really no reason why he shouldn't... I don't suppose he is so very busy he couldn't spend an hour in front of his computer of an evening one day. After all, we are all busy, right? but we manage to pack in quite a few hours on this site lmao!!!

I think Beth and Daedy just about covered it, historically we are a well moderated forum and dont' allow bullying - so he's safe and we are the type of people he SHOULD be listening too .

Busy, doing what? Electioneering is about to start in the new year, how would it look if he turned the lovely people on here who genuinely have concerns/ are interested in their childs education down

Ah go on go on go on go on go on go on Mr Balls

=)) =)) which spirit you high on Ursh your on a roll today - love it.
