Fake statistics on reading
Sky News is carrying the story that MPs find it unacceptable that 20 percent of our children cannot read properly.
This really does remind me of David Blunkett fulminating on TV about it being "unacceptable that half of our children are below the mean average."

It is a fake statistic and the fact it was broadcast by Murdoch's Sky should warn you of that. Hilary Bills (NUT president) showed the conference the test papers of two pupils: one who "could read" and the other who "couldn't read" and challenged us to tell the difference.
At the end she revealed the answer - the one who had misused an inverted comma was the one who "couldn't read" according to the fake statistics on which this argument is based.
