Abstract
James Callaghan's 1976 Ruskin Speech is often presented as denoting th e end of consensual policy-making in education and a profigurement of Thatcherite educational policies. This paper considers the validity of visualising 1976 as a foothill of New Right thinking about education and expresses some skepticism about interpretations which neglect subt erranean politics.
