Love this, although having listened to Theresa May today I am surprised that she didn't suggest it more overtly :roll:

I'm afraid I can't listen to her, so you are one better than me. I have gone into ostrich mode over English politics now. I can't bear it.

Looks like many independent schools would be horrified by this development.

Ditto. Luckily the paralympics can distract me for a bit at the moment. Unfortunately being married to a politics teacher and having one politics-obsessed child means I can't always escape...

Brought to mind a medical school sketch (from several decades ago) where the ultimate drug (placebalol) had been developed and it cured EVERYTHING so that there was simply very little for doctors to do ... unless they "created" their own patients. Cue the med school interviews where teenagers had to explain, not how they got 4A* but how they could produce the most patients. :shock: :oops:

I do hope they set up a suitable randomised controlled trial to compare it against the existing gold standard, Panacealol?
