Oh how the one hand washes the other in the corrupt world of those who make up The Establishment.
Some of you might remember, that back in September of last year, how multi-millionaire Harry Potter author, JK Rowling gave £1 million pounds in cash to the Labour Party. You can find the details of her donation here but I have pasted the relevant portion at the top for you.
The cash came at fortuitous time for the Labour Party crooks, as the party was and still is, really strapped for cash, with £7 out of every £8 received now coming from the trade unions who are getting fed up with bailing them out and getting nothing back in return.
Now at the time, I just thought "Stupid Woman". But it is her money so she can do what she pleases with it. At the end of the day the books and film were quite entertaining - in my opinion. Many would disagree.
But now some information has come to my attention that makes me see this donation in a different light. By all accounts, J Rowling (who added the K for effect) is one sharp cookie and I am wondering now if it was part of an astute business loan.
Because if you look at page 6 of the GCE AS and A Level specification for English Language and Literature B for the exams to be held between 2009 and 2012 you will see that Harry Potter and the Philospoher's Stone as been tagged onto the end of the lists of books to be studied.
As our friend informs us.
This means that until the year 2012, potentially hundreds of thousands of A Level English students will be required to purchase a copy of this book.This seems to me at least, to be a clear case of the Government interfering in educational curriculum to ensure that one of their "in crowd friends" gets a nice little return on her investment.
We await with eagerness all the play on words that is sure to follow. Harry Potter, Dirty Rotter, Brownie Gotter, etc, etc, etc.
Thank you kinsman for the information.
