As any of you who read the pages of this site will know I believe that the Barrow and indeed Cumbrian academy schemes are built on presumptions and assumptions which are then 'backed up' with lies.
These are spun by the vested interests of an almost bankrupt and almost totally inept County Council and a Government which is hell bent of proving to anyone who cares, and precious few do, that they invest more money in education than the Conservatives did.

The fact most of this money is actually wasted on madcap sound bite schemes that do not deliver the improvements in our children's education that they were promised is lost on them but hey ho it's only the public purse that they are spending and that is almost bottomless!
There are many many different bodies fighting to drag cash into Barrow from the various funding sources which range from the EU through quangos to government departments. The truth is it's all taxpayer money so the real source is actually you and me but.
To gain a bigger proportion of this cash the County and the Borough councils play the deprivation game.
They find and if they don't exist manufacture statistics that show Barrow is deprived because of... frankly any reason will do.
Peter Mackay and Enid Fraser made the totally inaccurate claim that Parkview is an 'inner city' school!
The fact Barrow is a TOWN and Parkview is way way out of the TOWN CENTRE proves them to be liars.
However the biggest lie of all is that we are deprived because of the level of unemployment. Well thanks to the BBC which despite the best efforts of NULabour is still an independent institution we see on this page that in reality we are much the same as THE MAJORITY of the UK.
