Lies, damn lies and NuLabour f***ing lies

I am disappointed to see the MSM trotting out this bit fat f***ing lie:

"The government has introduced free nursery education for all three-year-olds"

What actually happens is, if you have a child aged 3 to 5, you can choose between
a) up to one session of 3 hours (or is it two-and-a-half?) free nursery per day (not 15 hours per week!), or
b) about £7.50 per day (not £37 per week!) in nursery vouchers to be used at whatever private nursery you like.

Remember that an average full time nursery place costs £150-plus per week.

Finally, my little girl's nursery told me that they are discouraged from actually teaching them anything e.g. writing, so it's hardly f***ing surprising thay none of this has made any difference.
