And this is why the world is in danger of sliding back into the dark ages... and why you should have your children vaccinated.
An article in Metro this morning had a spokesman for the AA saying that the Highway Code was (and I paraphrase) a bit difficult for normal people; only those weirdo geek types would understand it all.
Really.
The population fears(!) and distrusts science and scientists and the medically trained people we like to call doctors, finds the Highway Code a bit too hard and doesn't want to have to learn difficult and boring things like science, foreign languages and maths in school.
I fear for the future. Never mind global warming.
