Stop it, you're hurting!
Abstract
Slyme Green College of Further Education stands to the north of the town on the edge of a vast new trading estate. A glistening block of glass and concrete, it was opened a little over two years ago by Alderman Joseph Soap, Mayor of Slyme Green and Chairman of Governors. You follow a trail of litter up the drive, past the savaged saplings to the pool in the forecourt, a feature full of orange peel and little bits of stick. In the middle on a stained slab of slate stands a thing in metal, symbolising the Ministry giving birth to Technical Education. And very painful, too. This caused a furore locally, was featured in ‘Panorama’, and nearly cost the Labour Party four seats in the borough elections. (Soap, Chairman of the Education Committee: ‘I was never consulted’.)
