Money replaces ideology as a way of ordering Britain. It was supposed to make things rational. But the money got mixed with old forces from the past. And wasn't as predictable as it seemed. Shoes from Russell & Bromley. Mrs Thatcher's luminous earrings. Dolly the horse. Liberal intellectuals who know their power is over. Leeks by moonlight. The Duke of Westminster. The Bitch. Modern art. Morrissey’s nostalgia. Make-up by Rimmel. Dodi Fayed. Ken Dodd's suitcase. Data extraction. The first Islamist group. The covenants of old English power. MDMA. Mrs Thatcher reads a poem. White rasta.
