Just check the date before you read this, from a speech by the Education Secretary. It is 2014.
'How can it be right that more than a fifth of children left primary school without having reached a basic level of literacy and numeracy?'
As the men were racing up the Normandy beaches seventy years ago, Parliament passed the 1944 Education Act, supposed to stop this. Seventy years ago. Now we are told we can sort it in another generation.
So, where are the apologies? What about from you, Shirley Williams, educated at elite St. Paul's Girls' School who moved house in order to get her daughter into elite Godolphin & Latymer, but who pushed through Comprehensive Schools and banned grammar schools?
Just a little apology for two generations of children whom we have failed due to your madness and hypocrisy?
