Against the Grain by Simon Jenkins
These writings contest accepted wisdom on a wide range of contemporary topics. No party, politician or pressure group is free from the author's gaze. Should we subject public figures to trial by ordeal rather than trial by media? Who is really the most unpopular man in history?
