Quote of the Day 

On a Conservative plan to make history education compulsory up to age 16 (as well it should be):

The plans received a mixed reaction from teaching unions and academics last night. David Starkey, the historian and broadcaster, welcomed the idea of making history compulsory up to 16. 'History is at least as important as science and MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN ENGLISH LITERATURE,' he said. 'You cannot actually be human without collective memory... In this respect, the Tories are at least half right.'

History being the only way to 'create' collective memory, of course. Cunt.
