DEPRESSING

I googled "Wandsworth Local Education Authority" yesterday, to find a telephone number. I needed to give them a quick ring to discuss forms for tuition fees. I was pretty depressed to see that "Foxtons Estate Agents" was the first result that Google returned for the search I had entered.

House prices rule the world, prop up the economy, preserve the status quo, determine your education, are socially divisive, and - through the drawing down of funds from propery in this country - serve to price people out of local markets across Europe as well. Well done politicians!
