After working inside UK schools with the National Literacy Trust, I’ve seen the crisis up close. We are sleepwalking into a post‑literate society where the “elites” read the laws… and everyone else just scrolls. If you can’t read the classics, you can’t recognise tyranny.

In this episode, we break down:

How political movements thrive when citizens can’t read beyond slogans
The economic suicide of a nation that can’t understand a 50‑page contract
Why Legal Crime and my new YA dystopian novel warn about the erasure of the individual
