Virginia,

You'll find this funny!

I got a letter in the post last week telling me that my incapacity benefit was being stopped for some reason or other.

The irony? ...

I do not receive and never have received or even applied for incapacity benefit.

Closer inspection revealed that there was a wrong digit in my National Insurance number.

So presumably someone elses incapacity benefit was stopped because I am fit to work. ... ?!?!?!?!

I wrote to them of course straight away to point out this error, but I wonder how many new similar stories will arise out of Osbornes new punishment for not being able to read and write well enough to fill out an application form properly.

Of course the transfer of resources out of failing schools into schools that are already doing fine should exaggerate the whole matter nicely a few years down the line.

No one is that stupid. This is being done on purpose. I had forgotten just what a bunch of remorseless fuckers these guys are.
