Spoilt Rotten

<p>In this perceptive and witty book Theodore Dalrymple unmasks the sentimentality that is suffocating modern life. Under the multiple guises of raising children well caring for the under-privileged fighting poverty assisting the less able and doing good generally we are achieving quite the opposite.
