I have noticed lot of Gove bashing specifically these last few days. Not sure why.

Because he has dreadful ideas about education
and wants to buy the queen a yacht?

There's two good reasons right there.

I donno if this is a rumour, but I remember thinking as a kid that she can walk into any shop and get anything and they're not allowed to charge her.
I think this was 'cus in my head, 'cus she was the queen, she owned everything... but it might be real.

That rings a bell, there was this old lady in North Cyprus, an ex-pat brit, who we knicknamed The Queen, 'cus she never carried money about.
It's 'cus she paid for everything at the end of the month, and it was generally accepted by anyone who wanted to cator for the expat comunitie.

But when she paid, she rounded it up to the nearest 100l, which I think was about £30, but I can't remember for hte life of me at the moment.

(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Mon 16 Jan 2012, 20:50, Reply)

Republic and North Cyprus, the greeks'n'turks are like the bluds'n'kriptz.
But in reality, it's the mainlanders (greece and turkey) who are beefin', locals don't give a toss.

I can understand the irritation with the queen one.
Dunno about his ideas on education. If anything he isn't going far enough. He's just taken Blairite ideas on reform to a new level. If he was a hardcore Tory he'd be bringing back specialization , skills teaching, and give council areas a referendum on Grammar+Technical Schools and SecMod's .
