Professor Emeritus of French history at Cambridge., duel French-British nationality.
An absolute pillar of the loathed academic elite except he's right wing, loves Brexit, makes a lot of noise about hating Commies, and so gets the front page of the Telegraph.

They won't want to alienate too much of their established Tory readership, though what the buggering fuck they're doing employing Bastani is a bit of a mystery.Just a wild guess but I suspect it will continue its journey to the furthest reaches of the vicious, snarling, intolerant right, where a million soulless, piss-poor, dead-eyed hacks will be fighting over who can be the biggest cunt of them all - with a few nice receipes, music reviews and short break suggestions thown in for balance.
Last summer, Al Moy, 38, an investment banker and father of three, received a letter from his daughter Ali’s school saying they were increasing their fees by £10,000. Shortly afterwards, fees for the school his son Harry went to went up by £5,000.The rest of the article is worse and the photo looks like it's being touched up.
“Almost overnight, the school fees went up from £55,000 per year to £70,000. The increase was shocking, but not entirely unexpected,” Moy says. “Ultimately, I believe, the education provided and the sacrifices we will have to make are worth it.”
Al is not quite sure why the increase at his daughter’s school was so much more than his son’s, but said they broke it down as £7,000 VAT, £2,000 on social activities and a £1,000 administrative fee.
“The gardener used to come twice a month, but then he increased his costs from £230 a year to £245 a year. We only have him come once every other month now.”A poxy 15 quid a year extra? Fuck off!

Immediately after whining about not being able to go to the Ivy 3 times a month for dinner they add:Twice a month is ten quid a time. You'd be lucky to get half an hour for that money.“The gardener used to come twice a month, but then he increased his costs from £230 a year to £245 a year.
