“Well, the children of Cleckheaton only need an education in ‘vocational subjects’ so it won’t really matter to them.”
Janice Small, PPC for Batley and Spen
Progressive Rating: 20%
Janice Small’s day isn’t complete until she’s thrown a town’s entire young generation onto the waste heap, having seen all they were worth from her home in Kent.
SparkOnline recounts Small’s comments at Whitcliffe Mount school in Cleckheaton that angered parents by insulting the intelligence of local pupils. The quote came after she was asked by one parent if the arrival of a potential Tory new private high school would force Whitcliffe to become a secondary modern.
Ms Small has clearly failed to embraced the inclusive Swedish educational model that the Tories were trumpeting only last week.

I am a Batley and Spen Voter. This does not in the least surprise me. Janice also pretends to live in the Constituency whilst her home is actually with her family in Kent. The Constituency ‘home’
she dosses in a couple of nights a week belongs to the local Tories. If she gets elected we won’t see her backside for dust!
