Gove and his claims about teenagers' ignorance : Mon May 13, 2013 10:11 am  

Really, if you're going to make claims about stuff, it's as well to ensure you can back it up with more than a poll from UKTV Gold in 2008. Gove's claims on ignorant teenagers shown to be based on sand after FOI request. • Apols for new thread – can't find anywhere else to put this.

'After another four weeks, she received a response detailing "the other survey's [sic] the secretary of state referred to".'

It's like he's trying to make himself look stupid.

Expect to find the Freedom Of Information act rescinded in the near future, certainly before the next election propaganda is due to be delivered and we are all told how happy we all are.

"Survey after survey" has shown Gove to be a total ars3.
I refer, of course, to my frequent and in-depth sitting-room surveys, where I ask "who thinks Gove is an ars3?" and 100% of those who vote say they do.

Every time there's a Gove story in the papers, I find myself wondering if picture editors deliberately seek out pictures that make him look like a weird simpleton. Then I remember: that's just his face.

Gove responds to critics by revealing the source of his surveys:

Gove is a bumbling idiot.
Everytime he opens his mouth he puts his foot in it.
Yesterday was another pearler on the Andrew Marr show.
He was basically stating 3/4 names who agreed with his views on his batty curriculum changes and when the host started naming those who didn't agree he said and I'm paraphasing here 'Well they don't agree with me so they are wrong'.
Foot in mouth with that guy over and over again and how a clueless stuck up toff can make decisions when he has no idea how 95% of the population can't afford private tuition is beyond me.
