International comparisons suggest that in literacy we are in the second division, well behind New Zealand and the United States, to mention just English-speaking examples. In setting up the Literacy Task Force, which will report on Thursday, David Blunkett anticipated this challenge. Its task has been to design a strategy which, if pursued over a five to ten year period, would ensure that all eleven-year-olds could not only read but read well. If we want our school and college leaving standards to match the best in the 21st century, we must first ensure that reading standards are transformed.
In the 1996 national tests, only 57 per cent of pupils achieved or exceeded the standard expected of eleven year olds.
This has profound implications for our national education system. Unless its standards match those of the best worldwide, our young people may find that in the global job market they fall far behind their peers from Singapore, New Zealand or Germany They will have been betrayed. The Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank recruits employees from over 50 different national education systems It is not alone. “Which may be why polls are not much in evidence these days.Because, far from being too simple for us, they are actually too sophisticated for most voters.If you agree, phone Yes If you disagree, phone the No line. This Malcolm Rifkind business is very serious, is it not?No, it’s not.Who cares if he is Jewish?Except those people who are already puzzled by his strangled Scottish accent.Except those people who miss Rabbi Hugo Gryn on Radio 4 very much and think of Malcolm Rifkind as a pretty poor Jewish replacement.8 Hmm … Well, what’s wrong with questions like that?Everything.They are the sort of questions which only politicians want to know the answers to.They are the sort of dumb-assed questions asked by interviewers on the Today programme.They don’t reflect the kind of questions the voter is asking.6. How do you mean, being asked the wrong questions?Well, the pollsters only ever ask questions like: If there were an election tomorrow, which party would you vote for?Or, which of the three party leaders do you rate most highly?Or, if John Major stepped down, who would you favour most as the next Tory leader?5.
It’s just that we are fed up being asked the wrong questions.4. The Lottery is all about forecasting things, and so are football pools and astrology, and so are all those programmes on BBC which show the build- up to Five Nations rugby internationals, although that might be a bit different, because international rugby is about the only sport that the BBC has still got hold of, so they have to milk it dry until everyone is bored silly, but the question remains: Although we still love speculation, have we actually got fed up with polls themselves?Yes.No.No, we haven’t. The public is always wasting its money phoning in to vote on matters they cannot possibly affect. The absence of polls is very curious, because the British have always loved indulging in speculation. All we have had so far is the rough findings of canvassers and a defiant shake of the white flag from “Dr” Brian Mawhinney But no polls. Why not, do you think?Because the polls got it so wrong at the last election that the papers don’t want to burn their fingers again.Because the polls got it right at the last election and then people changed their minds after reading the poll results and before voting, thus making it look as if the polls were wrong.Because Tory papers are sick of Blair being so far ahead all the time and would rather not even print the polls.Because the papers have finally tumbled to the fact that polls are not news and nobody gives a toss about them.3.

It is a deliberate attempt not to please everybody, though, and if you don’t want to have a good time then there are alternatives to Virgin. At the end of the ad a lot of destinations flash up, which says: it’s a big world out there, and we can help you get out there and start enjoying it.It’s like a wish-list for lads – travel, crazy times, scantily clad women – as if the guy had walked into the ad straight out of Loaded, which might put some people off. The brand represents the free spirit, so it’s wholly appropriate that it offers enjoyment as opposed to merely getting from A to B, and I applaud the lack of aeroplanes and more mundane aspects of travel. Virgin are saying they’re more in the entertainment business than the travel business. We see him playing golf on top of a building, skinny-dipping in the bath with what look like two naked girls, and wearing make-up – a reminder of Richard Branson dressing up as a bride to launch his wedding service.It’s all a lot of fun, and that’s the Virgin difference: they’ve brought in rock ‘n’ roll values against the stuffy, British, efficient and quality image of BA.

They operate under a higher degree of security than their colleagues, many of whom are Conservatives.BMP is Britain’s fifth-biggest agency and boasts an impressive portfolio of blue-chip clients.As the election could be called any day now, BMP has a range of posters and plans for party political broadcasts locked away in a secret vault at its headquarters, a converted building near Paddington Station that was built by the Great Western Railway.Convinced that its campaign is on the right tracks, it is expected to stick with the same economic theme all the way to polling day. The Labour account is handled by a small unit drawn from BMP’s 350-strong staff and a few other sympathisers from elsewhere in adland. (Another sibling, Charles, was Margaret Thatcher’s top foreign policy adviser, but he even pronounced the family surname differently: Pow as in toe.)Having slipped from favour in the bitter aftermath of the 1992 election defeat, Chris Powell and his pro-Labour creative chums are firmly back in favour. Both obviously delight BMP DDB, which was re-entrusted with Labour’s political advertising shortly after Mr Blair became leader.Its chief executive is Chris Powell, whose younger brother Jonathan is Mr Blair’s chief of staff. Labour has bought what is known in the trade as the “Benetton package” – prominent, quality sites throughout the country.The assault comes as a fresh independent survey has revealed that Labour’s ads are packing considerably more impact among former Conservative voters than scaremongering slogans such as “New Labour, New Danger”.A poll conducted earlier this month by Opinion Research Business for the stockbrokers HSBC James Capel found that only 8 per cent of those who have strayed from the Tories since 1992 have been persuaded to reconsider their political allegiance by M&C Saatchi’s attempts to demonise the opposition.More than half (55 per cent) say the campaign has made no difference while 37 per cent say it has made them even less likely to vote Conservative.The ORB/Capel poll found that two anti-Tory messages devised by Labour – “Next time VAT on food” and “22 new taxes” – were recalled by more voters than any created by the Conservatives, including the infamous “demon eyes” attack on Tony Blair, which was recalled unprompted by just 12 per cent of the survey sample.These results reflect the findings of a focus group convened recently by the Financial Times in conjunction with the ad agency FCB. Three 48-sheet posters branding the Conservative leader as a two-faced liar will have high visibility nationwide from today. Contrary to initial press reports, this cruel idea was vetoed not by Tony Blair but by trustees of Roger Hargreaves, the creator of this children’s cartoon.Although disappointed by that refusal, the agency BMP DDB feels its alternative could prove just as effective.
Honest John is being called a two-faced liar.
Labour’s ad agency had hoped to run an even more personalised and negative campaign, portraying the PM as a spineless, dithering version of the Mr Men. Having branded the Tories with responsibility for a string of tax rises and raised the spectre of VAT on food, the critical focus is being tightened on Mr Major. The Labour Party’s pre-election advertising campaign entered a Major new phase over the weekend when its strategists unleashed a fresh poster blitz pinning the blame explicitly on the Prime Minister for the Tories’ vulnerable record on taxation. Looking at his mournful smile and thick, hard-working fingers, I’m suddenly glad I am not a politician. But there is a fury and freshness which comes as a necessary shock to the half-awake system Steadman is back. These are drawings so furious it is difficult to speak of enjoying them. They careered around the US together, most famously following the 1972 Republican campaign from Miami.
Thompson had never come across someone so genuinely horrified by American lifestyles and wanted to expose Steadman to more and more.”We were a couple of mavericks, we hadn’t got proper accreditation, we were pissed – we were forever in a terrible state. It was still part of the hangover of the Sixties.”For Steadman, Miami with Nixon was a spectacle of surreal horror, suffused by the imagery of the alligator swamps on which the city was built, and he eventually fled back to Britain, with a cheap plastic alligator in his pocket from an airport vending machine, which then became the dominant image for the American drawings. He worries that “it might be hard to sustain politicians’ legs as a good support system” and that he will end up “playing the game” again – become a cult, he jokes, for foot-fetishists.I think not. “It shows that we are all flesh and blood and that no one has all the answers.”So the legs of John Major and Kenneth Clarke are to be followed by a “Three Graces” featuring the legs of Virginia Bottomley, Gillian Shephard and Ann Widdicombe: bad news for them, even though “you will never see a politician’s face in my drawings again”. He thinks that exposing the veins and muscles, the human carapace and processes, is the best way of debunking the arrogance of politics.
