That's rather dismissive.
There are programmes of study* where a good teacher can ensure that the story of women, of people of colour, of immigration, of political change are included.

*
 the creation of the Welfare State
 Indian independence and end of Empire
 social, cultural and technological change in post-war British society
 Britain’s place in the world since 1945
 a depth study linked to one of the British areas of study listed above
 a study over time, testing how far sites in their locality reflect aspects of national
history (some sites may predate 1066)

While flicking through the channels earlier I spotted Toby Young being interviewed by Philip Davies and Esther McVey. He seemed to be getting very angry at the government for placing too many regulations on internet companies. Apparently when the country voted for Brexit they did so because they wanted less regulations not more regulations.

It is rather ironic that Captain Bellend wants less regulations because if the Internet had been better regulated in the past perhaps he wouldn't have posted so many dodgy tweets which ultimately cost him a well paid job in the University sector.

Yup, start with "What would his dad, esteemed Labour peer, social reformer, and academic, Michael Young have probably thought of it?" and then the exact opposite of that will be Tobes' opinion.

His motivation in a nutshell.

And yet he was happy to use his father's influence to get a place at Oxford...
