What fun! the Great Leader of Kent County Council pontificates on television that he is opposed to aspects of his Party's educational policy. Doubtless the alarm bells rang at Ashcroft HQ. Here was the Leader of the largest county council in open disagreement with his Party and broadcasting the fact far and wide. Bad form and all that.
But what's this? Hours later we have the Great Leader eating his words and saying, no, really, guv, I support fully the Party's policy.
What a pratfall from a seasoned politician who should know better. There is a simple maxim: engage brain before opening mouth. As we Tykes say: if in doubt say nowt.
Quite apart from making himself a laughing stock there is a serious issue concerning judgement. The Tories on KCC should think long and hard about who leads KCC next time the leadership election arises.
