Reading between the lines, he sounds like a sex case waiting to happen. For fuck's sake, Thomas Hamilton of Dunblane infamy ran "boys clubs", you could call him an educationalist too. In fact, I think that an educationalist is someone qualified to go on the Jeremy Whine show and complain that kids aren't being caned any more.

Also, Hartpury is an agricultural college. Bear that in mind.

Hartpury is near here. It's been a university for quite a while, but it's recognizably a place that used to be an agricultural college. It's not like you rock up there to do woke studies, despite the impression some people BTL have.

Hilton's educationalist status is being a pal of Gove and being an ex-teacher/administrator. I thought people who did administration in education were supposed to be part of the problem?

As someone who just had a nightmare of a hospital stay after major surgery, due to staff with scant knowledge about mental health issues, I would personally like five minutes alone with this twonk.

There are a few of those. Funny thing is he at the school that had been run until recently by "superhead" Jo Shuter (who fell from grace when it was revealed she'd charged the school for her birthday party). I'm guessing that wasn't a hotbed of leftism.

You'll never guess which celebrity rightwing headteacher made Calvin a director/governor after he'd given up teaching.

This is just what they promised. Real news, getting out of London. When does the BBC ever do that? Apart from every day, when it has a dedicated regional news programme everywhere.

But what a scoop. Public transport in Yorkshire not very good. It's of course brilliant in other parts of the UK. I wasn't the biggest fan of Jez, but he'd have got more buses running in Dewsbury. Maybe they could ask Rees Mogg or whichever Kipper Tory they have on next about this.
