This Is Britain
Jan 25, 2007, 17:02
"Education Secretary Alan Johnson today said he accepted the key recommendation of a major independent report that a strong focus on understanding our history was essential to building community cohesion.

He believes it is vital that children learn about events and themes which have shaped the country we are today, including Commonwealth, Empire and universal suffrage. It is vital that in today's diverse society children also need to be able to discuss their own identity and respect that of others."

I'll be interested to see where the spotlight falls on 'our' history. Personally, I'm expecting such amounts of spin that the Earth might be moved off it's axis.
