My father was an autodidact. It wasn't a middle-class house. Shopkeepers are aspirant. He paid for me to go to private school. He was denied an education - he had a horrible childhood. He got a place at a grammar school and wasn't allowed to go.

I understand the damage the expenses crisis has done to Parliament, and the paramount importance of restoring trust in our politics.

Saint Augustine

I exist here, now. I'm not much interested in the future. Or, more precisely put, I do not believe in the future.
