(not satire – it’s Michael Gove!)
A Twitter account used by Education Secretary Michael Gove’s advisers is in trouble again for nastily abusing a critic.
Here’s the latest embarrassing tweet from @toryeducation which manages to belittle anyone with mental health problems:
Earlier this year the Department for Education took steps to stop the same Twitter feed being used by Michael Gove’s advisers to attack and abuse his political opponents and critics.
At the time, Gove and the Tory Party denied it was an official account and tried to remove all references to it from their own official accounts.
But here’s a screen shot I got (before it was removed) showing @ToryEducation was on the official list of Conservative Campaign Headquarters (CCHQ) Twitter accounts:
Pantomime villain of leftie education folk?
With all this cowardly hiding behind Gove it looks much more like a pantomime dame to me.

Also, it’s spelt “dummkopf”. Please write it out in the margin three times, @toryeducation.

I’m just interested – can any of these so-called education specialists hold an intelligent conversation in a foreign language? Or should the private schools they went to be turned into academies?

I think it’s only a matter of time before kids are being taught via internet at home anyway, then we won’t need these educational specialist or teachers.

According to German grammar rules, Dummkopf is a noun, and nouns are always spelled with a capital letter, no matter where in a sentence they might appear.

Only a very few of our leaders seem able to manage a few words – if that – in another language. It’s embarrassing to have foreign leaders come here and listen to them converse in fluent English. What did their expensive private educations do for them? I strongly object too to the use of ‘dumb’ (German dumm) as a synonym for stupid. If someone can’t speak, or is deaf and mute, it’s not a choice. Making him/herself understood in a hearing world is a momentous task. If you doubt that, imagine yourself dumped even for a short time in a completely foreign country, as I was once in Serbia.
