And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me…
One of my two readers – bless you both – texts me to tell me that the last paragraph of Max Hastings’ piece in today’s Guardian deserves praise.
So…
[Mr. Tony Blair] has failed in almost all his declared objectives of 1997. He has displayed a genius for retaining power, and has presided over a nation obsessed with personal wealth, to the exclusion of almost everything else. It is entirely appropriate that Blair should depart Downing Street to become indecently rich, because the record suggests that respect for wealth is the only constant in his moral universe.
You know, I’m quoting so many Tories with approval that I fear I’m turning all Cameroon.
Anyway, Jules – texting your performances in? That’s not how blogging’s supposed to work.
Is it?
Oh.
