Academy approval for Sinfin Community School 'no surprise' as unions vow to keep up fight

“RDC OK then but this is really top secret.

Michael Gove has privatised part of MI5. He has at the same time handed over the building and assets to this new privatised company. This part of the old MI5 has been trained by a company that was set up by former East German secret agents. Michael Gove is a significant shareholder in that company.

The employees of this new privatised company have hacked into the bank accounts of teachers at Sinfin. They have secretly cancelled the direct debit mandate of a significant number of NAS members so it looks as if they have left the union. They did not want to do them all as that would have aroused suspicion. Even worse they have redirected the new direct debit mandates of all the Sinfin Staff who are desperate to join the NAS so it makes it look as if people are leaving when the truth is the complete opposite.

At the same time secret agents have been deployed to come on to websites like this to provide hints and innuendoes about ridiculous possibilities. The most ridiculous of these is that existing members have become disillusioned with the leadership of the NAS locally, and particularly their involvement at Sinfin.

Your insight and intellect had probably worked this out and your subtle questioning techniques have got the better of me. After deep soul searching I have had to come clean with everything I
know. It is a real weight off my mind!”

“@Berniethebolt... What part of "do tell us all" don't you understand? You've got nothing to say... I suggest you do the union the courtesy of presenting any 'facts' you think you have to them. Bye.”

“RDC you really really don't want to answer this one do you?”

“You've said all that already... you're going round in circles again, aren't you?!

Do tell us all...”

“No supposition no innuendo, no misinformation. The drop in members at Sinfin is down to about eleven from well more than double that. I wondered what you thought the reason might be.”

“@Berniethebolt... You tell me - and everyone else. I always think that if you've got something to say, then say it - provided you've got evidence (not mere supposition, innuendo or misinformation) for what you're saying.”

“RDC let's go in straight lines then. Evidence - a drop in NAS members at Sinfin to a lot less than half of what it used to be. Reason?”

“@Berniethebolt... You're going round in circles now, rehashing the same drivel with slightly different forms of words. You are INCREDIBLY naive if you think LAs will ever see that land again. They won't... both because of the duration of the leases alone (the end date of which will be far beyond any of our lifetimes) and because it's highly likely that ministers will now in any case "finish the job" through formal legislation to ensure that even a theoretical reclamation of those assets will ever be possible.

You also seem to be backtracking with regard to Mr Wilkinson. While your personal vitriol for him remains unabashed, you don't appear to have any real evidence at all (unless your personal supposition counts?) for the allegations that you have made against him or his union. If you have tangible facts to back your opinions up, then you should address your concerns to them direct rather than seek to bore people rigid in an online comments box.”

“RDC once again inaccurate. I think you will fing that virtually all of the assets have been passed over on a long term lease all of these leases state that if the land or buildings cease to be used for education then they will return to the Local Authority. Freehold is not handed over you really do not want to let facts get in the way of a political soundbite do you? Subsidised facility time has no defence. It is attitudes like Mr Wilkinsons that has turned millions off. Why has trade union membership dropped by more than 50% in this country? These are relevant questions that the union movement should ask itself. Mr Wilkinson is as far away from the very best of Fabian values that you can get

My further dislike of Mr Wilkinson is due to the fact that his first response to anything he dislikes is to suggest strike action. It is not a last resort for him it is often the first retort. Why has NAS membership fallen so dramatically at Sinfin ? Down to about 11 members I am led to believe. A dramatic fall . These are real questions and explain internal concern at The NAS. They also raise serious question marks about Mr Wilkinsons leadership. This is not my dislike it is real NAS members voting with their feet.

Food for thought methinks.”

“My slip-up... I had forgotten that Mr Monks had indicated that he wanted to retire and I was referrinf to the earlier statements that were made by Greenwood Dale. So let's see who replaces him. I suspect you'll find that people who will prosper in senior positions in the school will foremost be those who embrace academisation rather than those with a track record as good teachers... that's the way it is under Mr Gove and it is HE who is responsible for promulgating envy and political interference in schools. whether you want to admit it or not, he does this through "visionaries" such as Mr Day.

I suspect that your comments regarding Mr Wilkinson are motivated by your dislike of anyone who is prepared to argue in support of a view contrary to your own. It's a fact that sometimes employees interests must , by definition , differ from those of their employers. As for your continuing complaints about "taxpayer-funded facility time", I think you'll find that the far greater cost is incurred in the loss of the value of school buildings and land (we are talking billions of pounds) that have been ideologically handed to academy trusts and private providers - all when we remain in the midst of a financial meltdown.”
