Everyone noses at books when you visit someone’s flat. Context for odd choices is usually easily visible through other choices. But find it very telling that Gove/Vine’s “intellectual curiousity” does not seem to stretch any further *left* than.... Tony Blair/David Blunkett bios.

The Goves’ shelving is so random up that it’s difficult to find context, although I’d say it’s relatively understandable that someone who’s been active in Holocaust education would have books by Irving. The Bell Curve is perhaps a different matter.

Yeah, the Irving book wasn’t surprising given he appeared to have an obsession with Mussolini and Hitler in WW2. The Bell Curve and Douglas Murray are the big alarm bells given his previous own books and pamphlets. But cannot fathom how they’ve organised the books at all?

That’s the thing that really surprised me, I’d always imagined he was the hyper-organised type! But that looks like what happens if you drop two or three book boxes when you move house and just stuff them on the nearest shelf at random...
