ResumoThe uncultivated cannot be competent judges of cultivation.Those who most need to be made wiser and better, usually desire it the least, and if they desired it, would be incapable of finding the way to it by their own lights.-John Stuart Mill, Principles of Political Economy (1848)What any of us does in our own lives is a private matter-a precious and inalienable right.But once we enter the job market or national and local authority domains, or tread into places where there is interaction with different citizens, privacy and individual choice become contested-quite rightly, for there is such a thing as British society.-Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, British columnist ( 2006
