And the reoprt is in The Sun - hardly quality reading material. I suspect most of The Sun's readship is in that 26 million.

I once came first in a test to write a report - I got the lowest score - but the lower the score the easier it was to understand. My tutor said that I came first because "your paper could be read and understood by most of the population - the sort of thing The Sun would publish and its readers understand".

<< That has got to be BS. Thats almost half the country. >>

It's not BS, it is the half of the population that is of below-average intelligence whose numbers are bolstered and woes compounded as the consequence of the debilitating influence of a century of decaying social values and squalid socialism. Most of the other half have in any case already escaped -- and are now called Australians and Americans.

Along with all of the rest of the denizens of the euro-peons'squalidly fasciSSocialistic Neo-Soviet, once great britain is doomed, is spiralling into dead and decadent third-world irrelevency -- and is already reduced to being but an offshore satellite state of of that awful USSR reincarnation created by Brussels' dali-lama wannabes.

I know, and that got me wondering. So I poked around on google and came up with the CIA-- World Facts Book. It said that the population (est.) of the UK as of 11/04 is 60,270,708.

Are the Brits actually saying...or admitting...that, what? something like 40+% of its population is functionally illiterate??
