Paul Carter certainly broke ranks with central Tory policy over the education situation. As Reg says there he had a falling out with Michael Gove and the oddball policies Gove is pursuing. He didnt feel some of these policies were appropriate for Kent and who could blame him, I thought a great well done should go to Paul Carter for sticking up for his own county. Not easy to do in the Conservative Party...ie not comply with the central dogma.
Clearly though he will have marked his own card and his career will now shuffle sideways, central office do not like anyone 'off message'.
Here is a pic of the tall man himself.. a very pleasant man too.
