http://malcintheburgh.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, 2 September 2010. This post is serving two functions. Firstly, it is a thank you to everyone who has read my ramblings over the past three years and voted for me in the Total Politics awards. I'm not folding MitB entirely, but I am recognising that the rate of posting has withered a bit over the past few months, and in that sense, it is all but done. And we hope it will be a collaboration of good quality work (well, each of the three of us made the Total Politics Top 10. 160;Links to this post.

Reviews, deals, fudges and poisoned chalices, the history of how we run our schools is an unedifying series of mistakes.
