CHRIS WOODHEAD

I have always admired the views put forward by former head of Ofsted Chris Woodhead. Along with Melanie Phillips, Chris has argued eloquently with detailed knowledge against the folly of the radical egalitarianism pursued by this wicked government. Chris has appeared on the BBC from time to time and usually got a hard time for his bother but he has always been a voice of sanity in the BBC’s bubbling quagmire of education leftism. So, I was very sorry to read that he is suffering from Motor Neurone Disease and has even contemplated taking his own life rather than endure the final stages of this awful disease. I hope you may share a thought, or even a prayer, for Mr Woodhead – it’s a tragic prospect he faces and as one of the good guys who argued back against the BBC narrative, this is indeed sad news.
