I am afraid that pretty much all of the articles that Adam writes are tinged with both a nostalgia for something else that very largely didn’t exist and rage against the machine. Both are destructive.

One wonders to what profound slight Adam Barnett subjected you or your opinions and beliefs.

1. Phoney, sanctimonious middle-class London media moralizing about immigration, racism, religion, feminism. Those who don’t agree are either greedy or stupid.

2. Continual condescending references to ‘the working class’ (even though he’s not working class) and about what they should have, where they should live, where they should send their children to school, how much they should earn, what they should believe, how they should vote.

3. 1970s/80s nostalgia: union barons, Militant, Red Wedge, council houses, comprehensives, the ‘working class’.

4. A solution to everything. Even though he’s spent his entire young working life at the Hackney Gazette and Left Foot Forward, he knows exactly how to run a country. Even though he’s never worked in business or has any business qualifications, or a numerate degree, he knows how businesses should be run and regulated. Whether it’s trade agreements, budgets, tax, immigration, education, housing, criminal justice, this young man has the answer. And he makes a living telling you about it. Oh he’s got a Twitter feed too. Because what he thinks is really important.

I will not be wasting my time reading Gove’s column! But thanks for highlighting what it’ll be for others who may ponder doing so
