The message
from John Cartmell contains these words:

Absolutely. It was a stupid move regardless of who did it. Almost as
stupid a move as the introduction of comprehensive education. Who was
it that did that?

Most of it was done by Margaret Thatcher.

The milk snatcher could probably be blamed for many of our current ills
but not that. The legislation that forced grammar schools to merge with
secondary moderns or go private was passed in 1976 and MT was totally
opposed to it.

Most of it was done by Margaret Thatcher. Have you checked the numbers?
