Oxfordshire Schools
It is a great disappointment that school exam results in Oxfordshire show no sign of improving.
A county as prosperous as ours should be doing much better.
A package of measures to raise standards over the past two years is said to have brought no improvement. Now the county council is having another try.
The new focus will look at ways of engaging pupils, parents, governors and teachers in a joint campaign to improve results.
Of course it is right that parents should play a full part in their children's education.
They can do much to support learning at home and take an interest in their children's work.
But is this going to be enough to stop the rot?
We pay taxes for our children to be educated by professionals. There are some fantastic ones at work in a school near you today.
But have we got enough stars and are some of the others simply not up to the job?
Clearly something has gone wrong with education in this Conservative/Lib Dem run County. We need to elect a Liz Brighouse Labour Team to rescue Ozfordshire's Schools.

Cornmarket Farce
I was disappointed to see (I suppose I half expected it) that our nefarious county council leader Keith Mitchell would refuse to apologise for the Cornmarket farce (Oxford Mail, February 17).
His ducking and diving continued with the use of a Biblical quotation from the Book of Proverbs, to avoid doing so.
I note that the quotation he has used seems to imply, however, that he is a fool and that on this occasion, he is keeping his big mouth shut.
The remainder of the quotation about being counted wise, esteemed and a man of understanding, I would have thought, based on performance, is to say the least, open to question.

Yukos a battle over justice?
It’s interesting both sides are fighting for justice, Mikhael for the right to keep his fortune and not face the next ten years in a Russian jail, while the Kremlin is fighting for the Russian taxpayer and the very economic future of Russia. For Europe it would be better that the Kremlin succeeds over Yukos, the EU needs a strong, prosperous and stable Russia to supply its energy supplies and provide new markets for its goods. At least the Putin regime has been delivering the goods, and the Kremlin's Treasury is enjoying its fifth year of budget surpluses, Russia is likely to become a net creditor a prospect inconceivable under the Yeltsin years, investment is up and broad based, though focused on the energy and export sectors and unemployment is down. Russia's reforms are ongoing, but Putin cannot afford to stop his program of reforms if he is to achieve more balanced economic progress for the whole country, rather than at present focused on the city regions of Moscow and St. Petersburg. For an investor as long as you obey the law and do your homework Putin’s Russia looks a good place for investment?

EU Constitution
Spain says Si! to EU Constitution by a 77% majority today. Arguments that the EU Constitution is a threat to soveriegnty are dismissed by Spainards. In the days before they joined the EU they had soveriegnty, bu they also had Franco, fascism and poverty. They prefer to live in a prosperous democratic EU. That is why we must vote Yes in the Eu vote.
