I do not usually listen to GFI, the Radio 4 Sunday night programme for children, but I did last night to hear what they had to say about Obama
It says a lot that the subject was chosen (the cynic in me says conveniently) by the winner of a competition, but there is no doubt of the effect his election has had on children – especially Yes We Can
We also heard from some American children who had composed a rap about it
How dispiriting then to hear one of the English children, asked to compare politics there with here, say: In this country politics is just something on the BBC that only your parents watch
