Doublespeak

The whole education system is riddled with leftist idealogues who want to produce model citizens for the ensuing Marxist dystopia that will emerge unless us real Brits stand up and show a bit of spunk.

So, not unreasonable at all.

What is a real brit exactly? Someone like Bertrand Russell who was prepared to go to prison for his beliefs? Or Alan Turing? Thatcher? Nick Griffin? Are educated, erudite people allowed or should only the wilfully ignorant apply?

We're talking about education, not indoctrination. Learning something of other faiths is a simple way to avoid ignorance. As an atheist who has had christian myths rammed down my throat by the school system since age 5 I think it's at least vaguely sensible to understand the basics of what others believe, if only to avoid obvious faux pas like telling your girlfriend's deeply religous parents that you don't go to midnight mass on christmas eve because you don't believe in any of that mumbo jumbo.

FTFY

I was always too stoned to drink in those days. Her mum used to be very kind and stuff me full of biscuits though.

What's one of those? Can a fake one become a real one over time?

Think it depends if you grew or flew here
