Sarah Perry's Essex Girls.Rather unnecessary,imo.
That is a rather patriarchal comment...Sarah Perry's Essex Girls.Rather unnecessary,imo.
Possibly but this (rather short) book is a misguided attempt;IMO,to set the record straight about Essex women by mentioning some rather posh,intellectual examples.Almost as demeaning as some of the original Essex girl jokes (some of which I have to admit I found quite funny).That is a rather patriarchal comment...
Just finished Oliver Bullough's Butler to the World :How Britain Became the Servant of Tycoons ,Tax Dodgers ,Kleptocrats and Criminals.This has been our role since Suez in 1956 according to OB 's thesis.Particularly enjoyed the chapters on Gib. (always thought that dodgy property deals were how money was made on the Rock: turns out that its through online gambling,And those chapters on Ukranian oligarchs.Always knew there were enough Russian ones (who didn't?):appears there are plenty of Ukranian ones too.A timely read.
Since I'm not interested in gambling (though my father was an inveterate gambler) I don't have anything to do with Sports Direct, as a fellow Guardian reader either.If I am approached about a job for a firm based in Gibraltar or Malta I reject it immediately because I know it is related to online gambling.
It's my way of making a stand without having to actually do anything inconvenient - like Guardian readers boycotting Sports Direct.
