Towards the Big Untruth

All aboard

Hi    

Now we are getting there

Moll and I took Him and Her on a canal trip.  That Brindley and those 18^th C folk were really something.  They took the Chinese 13^th C technology and mass produced it for an Industrial Revolution.  The wheel has turned again.

Young Neil Tweedie wrote in the Torygraph about university student fees.  Largely sensible, he both questioned the rush by all and sundry for the top fee rate of £9000 and he quoted the thoughtful views of Terence Kealey, the vice chancellor of Buckingham University.

He then let the Big Untruth pop out of the bag and wrote about the:

“Embarassment of twenty seven thousand pound price tags on degrees – things that used to be free when Britain was a lot poorer than it is now-“

Three for the price of two

Jock knows that there never has been and never will be a free lunch, free biscuits, free degrees, free hospitals, free schools, or free anything else.  It all costs; it all involves time, skills, effort, materials; someone somewhere is working and paying.       

FREE  FREE  FREE  The great marketing cry of 20^th C politics and business, free is the Big Untruth.

Cock a doodle do.

Tomorrow we will dig up the Truth Bone.
