Show Notes
All human life is here.
Dogma, closed minds, modern slavery, net zero and why Peter will never enter the House of Lords - though he will take tea there – and why you’ll never find letters after his name.
Sarah asks why Labour are pushing for a new deal with China at the risk of human rights violation and why did Margaret Thatcher think you could drive the 5 plus miles from Downing Street to Dulwich – turns out, outriders on motorbikes help.
And both wonder when did the honours system become such an ‘inverted pyramid of piffle’? Word for word.
On our reading list this week:
· HMS Ulysses – Alistair MacLean
· The Iron Lady: Margaret Thatcher: From Grocer’s Daughter to Iron Lady – John Campbell
· The People’s Trilogy - Frank Dikötter
