Back in the Guardian

Back in the 2000s, I had quite a few of my letters to the editor printed in the Guardian (note, one of three national papers I tend to read). The latest is on set texts for GCSE English, and a bit of fun.
It did remind me to look at some of the older letters. The first one is an example of a long-term theme of mine, in that it's the misuse of numbers to make impossible or nearly impossible claims. This one, I maintain, did stop the government making claims that the average graduate would earn £400k more than the average non-graduate.
