Gamekeeper turned poacher?

Today's news of an intended school closure programme to be driven forward by Marilyne fills me with anticipation. She spent a decade opposing me on every, single school I tried to close: how I look forward to repaying her the compliment...there will be more, much more on this...a case of gamekeeper turned poacher...it will be delicious. Poor woman, she has NO idea what is about to hit her...hostile public meetings, pusillanimous colleagues, angry, emotional parents, everybody dancing on the point of a thousand needles...and the decision hers and hers alone. Marilyne has courage: she will need it all and then - when the dust is settled - she will get precious little thanks for it. Believe me, I know.
