Gove Rewrites History Again
Historians have all thrown down their pens and breathed a sigh of relief today, as Michael Gove has done what centuries of writers have attempted without success: finally uncovered the one true way of learning from history. Modern intellectuals, as well as the thousands of academics that came before them have been researching in vain. Who knew that the only means of learning from the past would be discovered in an article about the First World War for the Daily Mail? The Education Secretary has told us that we need to “learn from that conflict in the right way”, something which scores of trained teachers have been missing. Up until this point there has been a worrying tendency to consider various points of view, from people who have different opinions. This will now be, of course, rectified. Thanks has been flooding in from these misguided historians, happy in the fact that they can carry on their work in the only correct way. The article, continuing once again to prove Gove as being a gift to the history profession, also informed the nation that the much loved Blackadder is in fact not an accurate documentary. This shocking revelation has thrown Britain into a fit of despair, as not only does it invalidate evidence of what was believed to be filmed during the tragedy but also leads us to the conclusion that revered poems such as The German Guns by the war poet Baldrick may not have even been written at the time. Incredible. Next week: Gove’s truth behind Game of Thrones: were there REAL dragons in The Wars of The Roses?
