College - Truth At Last!

The College is paying no rent for the former Public for 25 years following the bent deal with Labour Sandwell Council and the taxpayer is also paying for the building's maintenance. (Still more to come on this particular scandal).

Meanwhile, the BBC, the Express and Star, other media and, of course, Labour have been trumpeting what an enormous success "Central Sixth" is despite the fact that anyone can see with their own eyes that the enormous structure is frequently deserted. Such is the desperation to save money people are going round plunging parts of the building into darkness.

The Wolverhampton c*ck-suckers lead the way in February, 2014:

And so it has gone on with Labour Sandwell, the College and their media friends maintaining that the 800 capacity building was overwhelmed with applicants. Which makes it all the more surprising then, that the College has been spending a huge amount of our - taxpayers' - money advertising for students!

Even though the College is in absentee MP Tom Watson's constituency, Bailey was dragged out to go with the Mayor to dish out awards to the students amidst much hoopla as the Labour propaganda machine whirred into action to bullshit us all.

Darren Cooper, the leader [sic] of Labour Sandwell tweeted on 9th October that Central Sixth was doing really well which, again, made it all the more surprising that the College Board have kept so much secret lately and, in particular, failed to answer Freedom of Information requests on numbers so that I have had to complain to the Office of the Information Commissioner to force the facts out of them.

Well, A- Level courses are over two years and so you would only expect half capacity in year one ie last year. Even though the building has been so deserted Sandwell College have now formally said that in year one there were an amazing 386 students who completed the year and sat exams (although, curiously, of these an unspecified number apparently sat final A levels which suggests that they must have been at the College anyway and simply transferred from Spon Lane to boost the statistics).

Again, if the numbers were so healthy why was the College allegedly trying to pull out of their bent deal with the crazed comrades?

So numbers must be nearing the 800 capacity this year mustn't they? Alas not - although the numbers now are the highest they will be as it is still close to the beginning of the academic year and so do not include "drop-outs" over the coming months - the College claims that the total number is just 467 - only 268 first years and, strangely, only 199 second years (which suggests there may have only really been 199 first years there last year who were genuinely "Central Sixth" kids.

A long time ago, I joked that this bent deal meant that Central Sixth would be so expensive it should be twinned with Harvard University! Who's laughing now as it turns out that once again the political elite of "Sadwell" have been pissing down our legs and telling us it's raining?
