My sister went to work in Russia in 1990 (she was 16/17) and got baptized there that year too! Her baptized name she was given is Olga. She studied Russian at university and became a reporter and journalist.
I really liked listening to you talk about your place at Cambs. I did a very similar thing (got a very good offer for Engineering at Emmanuel - much lower than they usually ask for because they knew my school was not academic) and it still bothers me sometimes that I didn't value it or bother to do the work required, which was not hard for me. Although it bothers me less so these days because of what you said - it actually worries me how I might have ended up if I had gone there (maybe even recruited). I probably would have dropped out anyway. I met my husband and had my children as a result of NOT going (we met on an OU maths degree course)
It's funny how life turns out. I was invited to take the civil service "fast track" entry tests/interviews. I spent two days being quizzed/doing various tests - didn't pass. I now wonder that they picked up that I was not pro the mainstream enough even back then! :)
I think that's very likely, or at least you might have shown too much empathy, or non-pliability. Alex Thompson on UKCOLUMN who worked for GCHQ talks about this sort of thing. Probably a narrow escape!
Can’t wait to listen on my run later today
I hope it’s a long run 😂❤️
I listened last night.
I confess my blood was boiling.
James Delingpole isn’t fit to clean Abi’s toilet imho.
I’ve had to journal my thoughts on this one.

I couldn’t agree more with all you’ve said …
