I would love to see Gove attempting to teach a mixed-ability class "All for Love". Or "Macflecknoe".

It's the old problem - politicians assuming that anything they have ever read can be read by anyone. And, while they are all-too-aware that they are "a bit" above average, they have no real idea how far. And they misremember the age they were when they read things.

All of which adds up to their being simultaneously clever but stupid and ignorant. But they're politicians. We knew that, right?
