The new 'helathy option policy' in school(s).

What most people fail to realize is, it's not an option, it's forced upon us.

Now while a balanced diet is very good, shouldn't it be a choice?

Anyway, isn't four days in a row of healthy stuff (salad and fruit) a bit excessive?

This is kind of trivial but they just made it free for under 18's in full time education to travel on public transport which seems like a good idea except those of us who just turned 18 but are still in full time eductaion miss out.

It's not really a life changing decision so I can't really complain but I do have to pay £9:40 a week on bus fare where as someone born a few months earlier can travel for free. I think it should be either everyone in full time education has free travel or everyone has to pay. Don't get me wrong I'm not against paying, I take up just as much room on a bus as a person not in college but then again so do under 18's.

Ok I've been rambling for a while huh, I'll stop now.

By all means, carry on rambling. It is a ramble/rant about the goverment after all. No, I don't mind if its trivial.

Have individual (probably ceremonial) counties run their affairs. Get rid of all 'national' assemblies, apart from the ones that Westminster has no jurisdiction over (Tynwald, etc). Get out of the EU and run the country from Westminster.

No I don't agree, I think that the assemblies should have formal recogiation.
