Tom Brown's Schooldays
Uh oh, it seems that somebody gave Tory leadership contender, Liam Fox, a copy of Tom Brown's Schooldays for Christmas.
Presumably, Mr. Fox has calculated that a call for single sex schools with strong male role models to help a 'lost generation' of fatherless young men find their way in life' will appeal to the Tory backwoodsmen still yearning after those public school experiences of cold showers, daily beatings and fagging.
I wonder how the new intake of modern Conservative women MPs will view this tactic.
