In December the OECD's Programme for International Student Assessment (Pisa) reported that, between 2000 and 2006, UK 15-year-olds fell from seventh to 17th place internationally in reading skills, and from eighth to 24th place in mathematics.

When he raised his head his eyes were red and tears were rolling down his cheek: "I couldn't find my son, so I took a piece of flesh with me home and I called it my son. I told my wife we had him, but I didn't let his children or anyone see. We buried the flesh as it if was my son."

Instead they (at least) obstructed him, failed to help him, assaulted him and then lied about him and the people who helped him, and then he was autopsied by a pathologist not on the list, not qualified to be on Home Office list and under investigation, but that's ok with the CPS apparently.
