well, I think, remarkable number of people who have got A grades. And for the record, I'm quite

happy to spin it as evidence that you're all geniuses.

And you are by far the most intelligent and best educated cohorts or students that this country has ever seen.

That is obviously the bottom line, and I'm just going to faff about in the margins,

asking pointless, piddling questions that may explore the possibility that there may be other

answers to the question of how so many people have ended up with so many A-grade.

Because although I drizzled already upon your parade, there's a political failure here, yet

It's the most reliable reflex in the country at the moment.

But there is an important political failure here because this grade inflation, if we will call it that,
