THE arrogant and ignorant nonsense paraded by the editor of the Daily Echo in his article of July 18 on the sacking of ex-journalist Michael Gove is beautifully encapsulated in his final sentence: “It matters to generations of students, of course, but they don’t get a say.”

Mr Murray, the previous generations of students are the present generations of parents and teachers and they manifestly are getting a say.
