Ghastly little man

I think Gove’s intelligence shines through. He puts an interesting case. For me, this confirms just how excellent an interviewer is Freddie Sayers.

Didn’t impress me at all. I think I could have done a far better job of challenging Gove’s nostrums.

Having followed Unherd for a while, on listening to this podcast I was compelled to sign up to comment. And my comment is as follows: What a disgusting little worm is Gove. Sadly my vocabulary fails to encompass sufficiently applicable words to adequately describe my opinion of him. Were there a button that could be pressed to prevent him from being dropped into a bottomless pit, I would not lift even a little finger.

Pretty harmless I thought but a reasonably good look at one version of conservatism: perhaps the truest version? ie the do very little and say very little and chip away at the edges of the worst form of toryism and borrow from the acceptable face of socialism? I can see that his view of emigration and outward looking Hamiltonianism might be lead balloon territory for some of the more reactionary types close by!
