Mail readers, Chris Woodhead and Martin Bright
The comments to this Melanie Phillips piece in the Daily Mail are priceless Mail (warning not safe for work - Melanie Phillips & the Daily Mail in one link). Here is perhaps the most perfect, although the teacher who [blush] thinks he is a bit of hunk and talks of "idea's" runs a close second.And WHO is to blame for all-of-this? ... Answer; The Noo-PC-Laboor-Party and the cancer of 'lefties' bred BY 'them' that's who! At the next election WIPE-OUT in its entirety, this cancerous plague once called 'The Labour Party', and THEN GO-AFTER every stinking 'leftie' in a McCarthyesque 'hunt'. Track them down, every last one of them. SACK THEM ALL and TAKE-ENGLAND-BACK for it's people, from this diseased-bunch.

I recalled when reading Melanie's piece that her friend and, as she puts it, the only man in the education establishment whose views 'chimed with hers' - Chris Woodhead - had his own 'experiential and educative' relationship with a 'former' pupil (apparently Woodhead's recollection differs from other witnesses). I was trying to remember the details and - small world! - found this entertaining piece by Melanie's former Spectator colleague and now Jewish Chronicle colleague, Martin Bright.
