Well, what a surprise!

It seems that only some of the F.E. colleges dotted about the country which had been promised finance to build or improve premises by the Learning and Skills Council (LSC), will actually now receive the money.

In fact under 10 percent will, - 13 out of over 150 schemes. This minority will receive £544 million towards the total cost of £714 million.

The strange thing is that by some coincidence all the 13 which received the go ahead in in Labour constituencies, in most of which Labour is fighting a rearguard action to resist listing a seat. One, Battersea, has a majority of 163, while Dartford is defending one of 706. There surely is no coincidence that there is an election next year! (Government claims that the process was carried by the independent? SLC using objective consultants, does not really convince, given Labour's unceasing attempts to rig just about everything else.)
