I never knew much about him before. Dd has brought home a couple of his books from school.

But isn't he wonderful.

Yes he IS. I'm going to see if I can get DC to watch it on iplayer tomorrow if it's available.

What an inspiration.

He was jus on BBC1 talking about children's rights and how we undervalue teachers and everything that is wrong with education in this country. He started off talking about the comparison between how children were treated in Yarls Wood Detention Centre and Gaza.

he just did the Dimbleby lecture on BBC1- only saw the last few mins but he was v good. Is he/was he the Children's Laureate?

Ah, wish I'd seen that. Will have to look on iplayer.

Can we not kick out Gove and put MM in his place?
