A LESSON FROM LOVE ISLAND

I HAVE lots of sympathy for this year’s crop of GCSE students, who are having to cope with tougher standards.

My own daughter is going through the same agony at the moment and, let me tell you, she’s not best pleased with that former Education Secretary Michael Gove, either.

But anyone who still thinks that educational standards in Britain haven’t slipped hopelessly in recent years need only revisit the extraordinary conversation between Dani, Georgia, Hayley and Samira on the current series of Love Island.

One of them allegedly has three A-levels, yet not one of them even knows what Brexit is.
