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.

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.

“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.”
