Hardly dogma, it was policy from the manifesto and included in the coalition agreement. If it was dogma it would include more of the 'right things to do' with education like allowing 'for profit' companies to set up free schools and allowing new grammars. Hopefully though these sensible changes to policy will come in due course.
As for the article, the Grauniad, typical of their type of spin that cannot be taken too seriously.
I certainly do not approve of text speak, whoever does it Howard...
As for the other point. All newspapers spin in the direction they wish. I think you will find that I do differentiate between facts and spin, in particular when it comes to financial and economic matters. In this I need the base facts for business not anything so superficial as political debate. The article you pointed to was spin, pure spin.
