These are the jottings, writings, thoughts and comments of the Oldest Trainee. They will encompass history, politics, public affairs, education and the arts, all of which are dear to my heart, as well as matters philosophical. The Oldest Trainees has been educated for life if not a career. As one of the greatest playwrights of the English language, Oscar Wilde, once commented - " education is an admirable thing but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught ". How true that is. Would that our illustrious Chancellor and his esteemed cohorts bear that in mind on this the Budget day in the UK - for those watching outside the UK the Chancellor is the government's chief finance minister.
More on these themes anon
