Everyone gets that second album syndrome. (Niall Horan)
Inclusive. It's one of those ghastly, politically correct words that have survived the demise of New Labour. Schools have got to be ‘inclusive' these days. That means wheelchair ramps, the complete works of Alice Walker in the school library (though no Mark Twain) and a Special Educational Needs Department that can cope with everything from dyslexia to Münchausen syndrome by proxy. If [then education secretary, Michael] Gove is serious about wanting to bring back O-levels, the government will have to repeal the Equalities Act because any exam that isn't ‘accessible' to a functionally illiterate troglodyte with a mental age of six will be judged to be ‘elitist' and therefore forbidden by Harman's Law.

With the world as it now presents itself, there is something perverse, and probably dysfunctional, about a person who stays in the same house for 40 years. What about the expanding family syndrome, the school-lottery migration, the property portfolio neurosis? Have you no imagination? View quote
Iain Sinclair

Sally Phillips
What having a Down's syndrome child isn't - and I feel very strongly about this - is a tragedy. All those pregnancy books you read when you are expecting refer to Down's syndrome as if it were the worst possible outcome, and it's not. View quote
Sally Phillips
My blood runs cold when I hear the 'great news' that we have found a marker for the Down's syndrome gene, which means we can identify it more easily. Why is that good news? It's only good news if you're going to terminate. (Sally Phillips)

Francis Crick
The cool-person syndrome is peculiarly American. Part of that has to do with the way the educational business is run in the U.S. It's not based on how much you can teach your child: it's based on how much money the suppliers of basic materials can make off your child. View quote
