MICHAEL GOVE IS OUT AS BRITISH EDUCATION SECRETARY!!! [View all]

Yay!

Problem is who will replace him; but I can't imagine that it could be worse. Gove is the worst we've had since Sir Keith Joseph.

I know this won't be of direct relevance to most of you, but since you have Education Secretary trouble too, I though you might like to know.
