Roy ‘Jonah’ Jobson & The Hippy Rev’s jolly to Africa

By The Basa ⋅ March 27, 2006 ⋅

Whist our First Minister is swanning around on his current world tour and is expected to touch down for a visit to Scotland in the near future, we find out that the Children & Families heirarchy have “invited themselves” along on a visit that Drummond Community High School pupils are making to Africa later in the year.

Roy Jonah Jobson losing yet another industrial tribunal Not content with the travel plans that the school had made to fly to the sun in economy class, it seems that Jobson feels that dodging parent’s phone calls about immense bullying and attending (and losing) never ending industrial tribunals is so much work, that himself and the good coonsillor have to plump for business class so that they can get a rest on the way south with a nice glass of champagne or maybe a Kir Royale which BA’s Club World flight attendents make so nicely on their multi-thousand pound flight whilst the rest of the School party get chicken or beef shoved down in front of them whilst sitting in steerage.

The scene of the good children from Drummond High are sitting in the 31″ seat pitch of Economy, Jobson & Aitken will be lying back having a nap on those beautiful 73″ pitch club world seats having their every whim pampered and watching their 18 channel video screen is indeed one to behold and shows how the labour led council uses public money.

There also seems to be a hullaballoo with a chalet. Our informant tells us that “they are turfing the school group out of their chalet accomodation as the ‘gruesome twosome’ want exclusive use of it.” That is of course interesting, are the pupils going to be banished to mud huts we wonder.

The main question on everyone’s lips are “Why is the Executive Member for Children & Families and his director going to Africa? Is it perchance that they are going on a fact-finding mission to eventually bring up the quality of Edinburgh’s schools to that of Africa? Anyone who knows, please let us know.

Maybe they should take along their head of strategy, Mike Rosendale, he may want to join them so he can look over African books and see if he can make a better job of theirs then he did as Company Secretary of Edinburgh Lifelong Learning Partnership and City Connect Crew.

More and more each day the Children & Families department is looking like a Trotter Enterprise with Roy “Jonah” Jobson at the helm as Del-Boy, Ewan Aitken plays the hapless Rodney and of course Mike “the fraudster” Rosendale showing he has the same talents as Boycie. “You know it makes sense - dontcha moi sun.”

Nominations for other C & F hierarchy who bear resemblance or have the peculiarities to match Only Fools and Horses characters always accepted - we’re especially looking for a Trigger, Mickey Pearce and of course Inspector Roy Slater.
