As time goes on, more and more people find themselves in agreement with the commonsense views expressed by Auberon Waugh. When his thrice-weekly "Way of the World" column started in 1990, its unfamiliar views caused shock and even dismay. Now it provides comfort and reassurance to what is left of our humane, bourgeois, education society, as well as amusement and happiness in recognising the one true mirror to the state of the nation.
This second volume will prove the most significant - possibly the only - memorial to the John Major years, and should be bought and cherished as a guarantee that those years will not be forgotten forever.
