Arriving home this evening, and my three year old son was keen to show me his new ‘bookstart’ box that he had been given at nursery today. This is a Government initiative where all young children in the country are given a box of books, pencils and other goodies, all paid for by the taxpayer. Sorry Gordon, I’d already voted – you should have posted them out earlier.

Is anyone else struck by the irony of Gordon being a drag on Livingstone's electoral prospects? strange times indeed.
It's a shame you are so mis-informed. It is not a government initiative, Bookstart is a 16 year old national programme that aims to put free books into the hands of babies and toddlers to foster a love of book sharing and all the joys that this brings. I hope that your child grows up to be more informed than you after receiving their treasure chest full of love books and gifts.
