Theodore Dalrymple delivered an excellent speech at last week’s National Conservative UK conference held in London. It is great to see our favorite doctor looking healthy and dapper as he opines with his usual wit and erudition on modern architecture, British policing (or lack thereof), the loss of British pride, the country’s steadily deteriorating public education system, and much more.

How heartening to hear an old-fashioned, well educated, cultured, sensible, decent English gentleman. While listening for just 20 minutes to Dr Daniels, I somehow felt safer, reassured, more confident. What a pity that we don’t have more people like him in charge any more.
Hear, hear, Mr. Welsh. I couldn’t agree with you more. Thank you for your thoughtful comment. Cheers.
