Yes, I know its only Wednesday, but the alliteration just wouldn't work, and its nearly Thursday!
Got sent a news article today and just wondered if anyone else had seen it and wondered what people's thoughts on it are.

Just throwing up a topic for debate.
Anyone agree with the politician, semi-agree with him, or think he's mad?
Lets hear some views!

Well I never!

I've come on the PI message forum to post the above link having just returned from London where I have appeared as a guest 'expert' on the 'More 4' news channel re the issue that Phil has raised above (and I'll confirm that it is 'Wednesday's news for us in the UK)!!!!

I hope the link works. See the top right news item 'Is dyslexia real?'

Oh that's so funny anyone would think it was a co-ordinated approach. It really wasn't! My husband sent me the article because he thought I might be able to use it to start a thread! Well done that man, methinks he should go straight to the top of the class and have the Headteacher's Reward for good listening(to his wife)!
The link works and it was great watching. Well done Debbie!
