“Political Correctness, Woke and the Cultural Wars.  The New Insanity.”

Andrew is a fluent, engaging and entertaining speaker with a particular interest in social, cultural and political change since the First World War. He is a regular and highly acclaimed cruise ship lecturer and also gives lectures and presentations to a range of groups and societies. Audiences invariably comment on the warmth, clarity and accessibility of his presentations.

Andrew taught in Grammar Schools for over 40 years and is the author of a best-selling book on Contemporary British Politics. Drawing on his experience of over 22 years as Headmaster of Westcliff High School for Boys, he recently published a further volume on Education and the Pursuit of Values: A Headmaster’s Reflections. He now works as a freelance lecturer and education consultant.

Andrew gives his audiences insights into the times through which they have lived and he has a sharp eye for detail and anecdote. His incisive character portraits of many very different men and women at home and abroad whose extra ordinary lives have shaped today’s world, are uniformly vivid and compelling. He looks, as well, the huge social, cultural and attitudinal changes which have forged today’s world.
