HAVE YOUR SAY

IS BROWN ON A PROPAGANDA OFFENSIVE?

Tuesday May 22,2007

GORDON Brown was last night accused of using propaganda in schools to promote his tax-grabbing policies.

Study packs sent to classrooms have been dubbed a sinister attempt to indoctrinate youngsters about the Chancellor’s regime.

The Red Box course, costing £500,000, outlines how the  Treasury works for children as young as seven with primary school teachers urged: “Show them a picture of the Chancellor.”

Pupils are then told that the Chancellor is “a very important member of the Government” and has a “very difficult job”.

*But what do YOU think? Is Gordon Brown on a propaganda offensive?

Or is he genuinely trying to improve the education system?

Have YOUR say.

SHOW CHIDREN HOW THE TREASURY WORKS…..

Neat trick if you can do it considering Brown doesn’t even know how it works - and how old is he? I'm surprised he didn't include a bag of sweeties to really try to bribe them – “And when you get older, nice little girl/boy, I’ll show you how I can steal your pennies so you can't afford to buy sweeties any more!”

BACK TO GRASS ROOTS (STALINWISE) GORDON!!

22.05.07, 8:42am

This guy can't quite get rid of his communistic background can he?? This action portrays the ways of Father Ho (Ho chi minh), Mao Tse Tung, Stalin etc etc. Paid for by the tax payer of course! Wait till the kids are teenagers - then it will be the needle, or the nuthouse if they ask questions!! This is brain washing to the extreme, using teachers as his "soldiers of freedom".
Its not a propaganda offensive, -- its a DISGUSTING method, OFFENSIVE in the extreme!!
