Fascinating subject City Academies, probably better taken up in another thread.
It's always a good thing I believe to always consider new ideas and ways to move forward in regards to education. City Academies need to be given time and of course whilst there are teachers who have reservations there are also teachers working within them. Teachers can be surprisingly conservative, there are exceptions, and do not welcome change in any form.
I was living and working overeas from the late 1980s and therefore I don't know much about John Smith, one always has to recall that the Labour Party was in an awful mess in the 1980s, it was at rock bottom. Kinnock's war on the Militant Tendency made a contribution to restoring Labour as an effective political party, John Smith may have indeed made a good premier, we shall never know.

When it comes to trade union grassroots politics I doubt you know much.
