Phew, what a few weeks it’s been in politics down here. You can’t move for politicians turning up and promising us the world.

Anyone would think there’s an election coming.

David Cameron’s been down so has George Osborne and now we get that nice Nick Clegg promising Helston College tens of millions in cash to rebuild their dilapidated buildings .

Now call me an old cynic but we all know about Mr Nick and his promises. They’re not worth the paper their written on. If I remember rightly this is the third time the school has been told it’s getting the money for a rebuild, the last time was before the last general election in 2010, and lo and behold just after the election the suddenly realised they didn’t have the cash at all. 

Maybe it slipped down the back of the sofa.
