@AdamRutherford Couldn’t agree with you more. It’s a really wonderful book – source2021-08-08T07:44:11.000Z
This extract is from Sad Little Men by @BeardRichard, the best, most important book I’ve read this year. The nonsense about Latin, about how this gov dealt with Covid and Brexit, it’s all in here. How public schools break boys.
I implore you to get it. – source
