Awwww! Jay Blades

On now on BBC1. It's about his journey, learning to read at the age of 51, having gone through school as an undiagnosed dyslexic.
From what I've seen so far, he also has what is now called visual stress (formerly called Meares Irlen syndrome), where a coloured overpay helps the letters to stop 'moving'. Of course, when he was at school, such difficulties were not known about.
I'm looking forward to the rest of it.

Sorry to hear that, @Sockpile, but not surprised. What @Foxyloxy1plus1 says sounds all too plausible, that's it's down to money. False economy. When you look at the cost of keeping a person in prison, and then at all the things most prisoners have in common (one being poor literacy and numeracy), it just seems so obvious that really intensive support for families and for children struggling at school would pay dividends in the long run by saving a lot of money on prisons, getting more people into decent jobs and so on.
