Compare it with how the Telegraph reported on Nadhim Zahawi when he was given a tax penalty of ONE MILLION POUNDS:

Last month I read a great book that covers this very overlap, albeit not restricted to the Late Hellenistic Age: The Greeks And The Irrational, by E. R. Dodds.

This is such an obvious error, and one that will hurt Labour badly at the next General Election, when they are abandoned by much of their traditional voter base. Stupid.

Thank you for sharing this. Also, I just realised that I have one of your books on my shelf - I’ll make a point of reading it soon!

Thank you for this important thread. My personal experience is coming from a different angle - as the parent of an autistic son. Neurotribes by Steve Silberman was one of the books that helped us to orient ourselves in this different world, as was The Autistic Brain by Temple Grandin.

One of the many reasons I am proud to support, and always read, @iandunt.bsky.social is because of the moral outrage that he expresses so clearly, and which we should surely all feel too if we stop to think. As in his latest Substack: open.substack.com/pub/iandunt/...
