On the privatisation of the Tote, I cannot improve on the interview that Neil Clark gave to this afternoon's You and Yours, doubtless accessible somehow via the BBC's website. Neil on Radio Four was a great joy to hear, and we may look forward to many, many, many repetitions of it.
Even if The Moral Maze, always known to regular readers here as Neocons' Big Night Out, is now presented - yes, presented - by David Aaronovitch. Perhaps a man once installed as President of the NUS precisely because he was a Soviet puppet is deemed neutral between those panellists and guests who have followed their academic Trotskyism down the neocon road and those who have not?
All we need now is for them to bring back Gove, so that we can have the view from the Pretoria and Santiago of yesteryear. If we still had proper media in this country, then that one-man disaster area would have been out of office months ago, and he wouldn't have been the only one.
But if Chilcot is not the most laughable whitewash, then it will be utterly devastating. Either way, we win. These people will be ruined, as they should have been a very long time ago. And who could get the gigs then? At or very near the top of the list must surely be the already ubiquitous Neil Clark.

Not forgetting the Murdoch phone tapping business. Will Aaronovitch, Kamm or anyone else from that stable still be at liberty at the end of 2011?
ReplyDeleteThat and Chilcot are going to give New Labour the autumn from hell. Even Progress now only lets Kamm write book reviews, not that we should talk about Kamm and book reviews in a post about Neil Clark. Kamm won't be allowed to do them soon, no-one from the Times/Sun/NotW will be.
Speaking of Progress, you will have seen the latest with its article by Andrew Roberts about the Festival of Britain. Even Roberts had to mention that Churchill was never any good at winning elections, although he is still not there on mentioning that Churchill could only return to power in 1951 because the National Liberals let him.
So we can add Roberts on the truth about Churchill to Olly Grender on the lack of Lib Dems in Fleet St., Peter Oborne on the anti-conservative 80s and the anti-monarchist Thatcher's use of the Sun against the Royals, Stuart Reid on how Spain and the USSR would have fought for the Axis if Franco had lost, and Phillip Blond on how a single manual wage used to provide a large family with more than two professional salaries can now provide a childless couples.
All ideas that you have been floating in cyberspace for many years, going mainstream with no credit at all to you. Why don't you mind?
