I sincerely beg forgiveness for the sources but Lansley says elderly should be treated at home, instead of hospital is particularly poignant after yesterday's headlines, highlighting systematic failures to treat elderly in their own homes The bloke's a complete and utter fecking joke

I see the OECD says the NHS is pretty damn good actually ... and wonders why Lansley is messing it about. Lansley takes this as approval for his top-down feckup. http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2011 ... ecd-report

As Ny Bevan said: "The NHS will last as long as there are folk left with the faith to fight for it"

How stupid for thinking they might be linked to an improvement in the performance of the end product: the education of the children, usually measured by improved examination results.

Examination results are a terrible measure of the quality of education. They are massively skewed by variations in pupil intake, whether you are comparing different schools or different years in the same school. Publishing league tables for schools is a horrendous idea.

you also conveniently forgot this bit: "or increased their pension, salary and bonus packages from the previous year."

Not really, people negotiate an increase in their pension, salary and bonus packages on the back of their performance in work. This is how it works when you do not have collective bargaining keeping wages down.

Which suggests to me that they're remunerated for getting bigger, not better

Aren't academies supposed to be better than normal schools? So more academies means more, better, schools?

We're discussing the large salaries Academies pay their senior staff. Which their counterparts who aren't free to negotiate their own salaries do not receive.

Or conversely, the small salaries paid by academies to junior staff simply because they can get away with it

The estate of Dick Emery should be coining it in for the plagiarism of one of his beloved characters. Andrew Lansley has now been forced into a climbdown in anticipation of a right royal rodgering from the HoL. Linky dink dink Gaylord - "Dad, I got it wrong again" Lansley
