Another extraordinary thing about Shirley Williams. As prisons minister, in 1966, she wanted to find out what life was really like for women inside: so she persuaded the authorities to lock her up in Holloway on a pretended prostitution charge. Who would do that now?

Thisis an urban liberal trying to explain the immediate aftermath of the referendum, during which immigration was a massive issue. Every academic analysis later said the same thing. There is literally nobody who knows me who thinks I have a shred of anti immigrant feeling
“Waves of migration and globalised culture washed among us, eroding our sense of self… but the self-confidently multi-ethnic, liberal, urban class… barely noticed.”
