£150,000 on education at eton and he cant figure out some basic latin

seems the right education will buy you influence but not knowledge

I have 3 good A-levels, a degree, a masters and I got pretty much zero of those questions.

Hand on heart how many would you have got?

Ps. Is your lack of grammar ironic or because your education didn't cost 150k?

Whats more worrying is how he veered into a Joss Stone style mid-atlantic accent. Ever the PR man. It seems telling any specific audience what it is they want to hear, has crossed a line into subliminally adopting their accents.

No wonder he never comes up north

To be fair, much as I'm no fan of the guy his job is to run the country, not compete in pub quizzes. I doubt knowing the composer of Rule Brittannia is much use in his day-to-day work.

Why was he on an american chat show anyway? why do all our leaders whore themselves so much to an American audience? I think its very telling about who they are really serving, its all about the money.
