like to sir with love, and everybody will know the book, and then there was the film with sidney poitier. i called myself miss snuffleupagus. you'll remember snuffleupagus from sesame street, and he was the big mammoth type elephant who was big bird's friend, and no one could ever see him, because he was the elephant in the room. are you the elephant in the room? no, no. there's lots of elephants in the room that we never want to talk about. we don't want to talk about the importance of culture, the importance of small c conservative values, expecting children to take personal responsibility, having a sense of duty towards others, and understanding the importance of family. all these things are pushed under the carpet these days, and we never talk about them. we just talk about, well, what is the government doing? and and all of those things are good. i mean, i'm not saying government shouldn't do anything. i work for the government. i've worked in state education all my life. but there is so much that... values and culture, they are so important and they are massive elephants. and you had to be anonymous to start with, did you, to feel that you could say those things? yeah.
