A brisk loch-side run this morning, then back to the first piece of royalist nonsense of this year of the queen's 60th anniversary, or year of further massive cuts in public services disproportionately affecting the poor, depending on your perspective. The UK Minister of Education, Michael Gove, apparently thought it would be a good idea for UK taxpayers to pay for the purchase of a new £60 million yacht for the queen to sail around in. Even David Cameron managed to spot a flaw in the proposal. And this Gove person has been put in charge of UK education. Sacrebleu ! In fairness, selecting ministers is Cameron's job, so Gove shouldn't really be blamed, any more than Caligula's horse could be blamed for some dodgy policy decisions.
