James Bartholomew



James Bartholomew trained as a banker in the City of London before moving into journalism with the Financial Times and the Far Eastern Economic Review, for whom he worked in Hong Kong and Tokyo. Returning to England on the Trans-Siberian Railway through communist China and the Soviet Union – an experience which influenced his political outlook – he subsequently became a leader writer on The Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail.

Quotes by James Bartholomew  (?)

“So the economic benefit of higher education in arts subjects appears to be nil. In fact, it is a luxury in the sense that it costs money rather than yielding it. It is a luxury which is paid for out of general taxation, including taxation of the poor.”
James Bartholomew, The Welfare State We're In

“In 1931 there were three crimes a year for every police officer. In 2001 there were 44.”
James Bartholomew, The Welfare State We're In

“The unemployed themselves suffer most from unemployment. But the rest of us are affected too. We pay for the benefits, the hospitalisation of those who become unwell, the policing. We may become victims of the crimes and we receive the everyday incivility.”
James Bartholomew, The Welfare State We're In
