Avatar

After it became clear this morning that Michael Gove – a man who loves academic rigour – had lifted “polling” from such reliable sources as UKTV Gold and Premier Inn to back up his attacks on the Education system, I started the hashtag #govepolls on Twitter – with amusing results. Within an hour this was (briefly) the no.1 trend in the UK.

Here are 10 of the best contributions:
