More Politics For Beginners
The image reads " William was frankly bored. School always bored him. He disliked facts, and he disliked being tied down to detail, and he disliked answering questions. As a politician a great future would have lain before him. " Richmal Crompton predicting the rise of Boris Johnson in 'More William', first published in 1922. Image author's own.
