  Who was it who was quoted as saying the following:
  
  "A pledge to build more grammar schools would be an electorial albatross".
  
  "It is delusional to think that a policy of expanding a number of grammar schools is a good idea".
  
  ".....unpopular with parents. They don't want children divided into successes and failures at 11".
  
  Even two mouths, sorry two brains David Willetts was quoted at the time saying " ......selection by ability at age 11 did not work, or help social mobility".
  
  However once Stuart Wheeler a major party donor at the time alongside other conservative party donors got wind of how out of touch Cameron was with the grass roots, the real conservatives, Cameron eventually, conveniently changed his mind.
  Of course this U-turn was a mere dry run for Cameron who made it his political trademark to U-turn on every single issue he put forward.
  His greatest achievement to date is to have invented a sign for failing schools which you can see up and down the country.
  It's called an academy school and you can see hundreds of them from Lands end to John'o'Groats.
