Advice for Theresa May


These days the English elites seem to have lost their way.  How different they are from the early English, as described in Peter Ackroyd's English history book Foundation!  Ackroyd describes the rich in seventh-century English at the time of King Redwald as a wild and fiery bunch:

"The rich engaged in a life of hunting and of warfare.  They ate voluminous quantities of pork and venison.  They drank to excess and were celebrated for doing so.  Their faces were often painted or tattooed.  Men as well as women dyed their hair; blue, green and orange were the colours favoured by the male.  Both sexes were heavily adorned with gold bracelets."

Perhaps Theresa May would have an easier time politically if she changed her bland look to something more in keeping with her ancient English roots.
