Barclays and apartheid
Peter Whiting's letter reminded me of the many years when we worked in a special school for emotionally disturbed teenage boys
  • There was a lot of very bad behaviour; but also much very positive behaviour


  • Sometimes, when one of the boys had done something particularly good, a member of staff would say, 'But that's not really him', as though only his bad behaviour defined him
  • We would say that it is not a case of 'either/or' but of 'both/and'
  • We are all, surely, a mixture of good and bad
  • The bad does not cancel out the good
  • Both are true of us
