Mike Leigh’s ‘Vera Drake,’ is set in Islington, 1950. Surprise, surprise, this ain't no nostalgia trip. It’s a world not far removed from Orwell’s 1930’s ‘Down and Out In Paris and London’ with his amazement at an English working class ability to subsist on regular doses of bread and tea. The dry taste of soda bread, the smell of dampness and the comfort of a 'cuppatay' is as palpable as the scars of war staring blankly from the eyes of shell shocked characters like Reg (Eddie Marsan) who having lost his mother to the blitz lives a bachelors life on ‘bread and drippings’.

The tough guy (or the tough girl) is the accepted norm in politics and public affairs generally - particularly since the days of Margarer Thatcher. We have heard seductively in the past of the efficacy of "tough love." But what is toughness? Is it just cowardly bluster? Is it a real virtue in sport or in our personal lives, for example? ... read full story / add a comment
