Episode notes
The OECD reported that British undergraduates were classified in literacy and numeracy as the worst of 23 developed nations. The Tories' numeracy and literacy hours for primary school children were genuinely improving standards. Labour kept the headlines but imposed on teachers targets and told them how to teach. As a result, 11-year-olds were taught how to pass tests but were denied knowledge and understanding. Blair was not Bush's poodle. Ever since he joined Clinton in bombing Iraq in 1998 he had wanted to topple Saddam. He always supported regime change. That desire intensified after 9-11 the Islamic attack on New York.
