Boarding School Britain and The Things We Normalise | Hugo Rifkind

Hugo Rifkind has spent his career observing power. He also grew up inside it — and never quite felt he belonged there.

In this episode, he talks about:

• The Scottish boarding school where violence was a point of pride... until a public inquiry forced the question

• About being Jewish in public life since October 7th, and what it felt like when the people his community relied on weren't there

• The thing he values most — connection — and his honest admission that what he often really means is something more one-sided than that
