Super
Presenting Start The Week pays enough to buy a super-injunction.
His salary should be pegged at one pound less than Fern Britton's. She got Blair to admit that he had never believed in Iraqi WMD but would have invaded anyhow. He never dared to ask the question.
Ian Hislop seemed to suggest that the BBC itself had paid directly for this. He said it like everybody knew it, and whoever was interviewing him did not pick him up on it. In which case yes, it must be nice.
That last comment will really have them blowing their gaskets. The idea that at all of 20 there might be something that they do not know or cannot control. It must be as nice in their little world as it is in Andrew Marr's. You should let up some of their comments just this once. See you next week.

ReplyDeleteIt would have been the political story of the decade if Blair had said that to Marr or to another of the great and the good of these things.
ReplyDeleteThen again, it probably wouldn't have been.
Fern Britton deserves the DBE and every award going. But she won't get them.

ReplyDeleteOf course, he also now has Sir David Frost's old Sunday morning slot. They would never give that to anyone as forensic as Fern.
ReplyDeleteCareful, more than one of your books is Start the Week material, don't blow your chances.
