Gmw & CRussel I had the same reaction you to the opening of the book. The excuses he used to justify the thuggish behaviour in school weren’t very convincing, so it made the a rough start for me as well.
Great points about the subsidies, and dismissiveness about official interventions to save the herds, etc. Some of his pronouncements do have a chippy flavour of entitlement about them. I also wondered if some of the opinions he offered were exaggerated for effect.
