RE: UKNM: E-millionaires

[Richard Houston]

perhaps the backing for schoolsforschools was based on the observation that

the chap behind it repeatedly laid responsibility for its success/failure in

the hands of the government. "government endorsement is critical to its

success" was his mantra.


so now, with this level of exposure, how can our dear goverment resist

endorsing the lovable engineer-cum-entrepeneur? after all ... if they don't

... the venture's failure will be all *their* fault. shame on them!


"e-ducation, e-ducation, e-ducation".
