Entry: Britain in the Ashtray: Notes on a Scandal Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/britain_in_the_ashtray_notes_on_a_scandal#514 Post contents: The great majority of people - including teachers - have no intellectual distinction. They often behave foolishly and recklessly. They are not on that account nihilists. Social mores change, often for the worse, but when things get bad enough society tries to right itself. This review is very much in the line of Theodore Dalrymple's grim vignettes of life among the underclass, except here it is the BoBo who has forever wrecked civilization, meaning Britain before the 1960's. You cannot step twice into the same river; and jeremiads like this one will do nothing to bring back the past. Sent at: 2008 07 24
