Can't say I'm all that curious. Doubtless in the end broad enough hints will be dropped in the media for me to twig... or not as the case may be.
My comic which sponsors the Hay Festival ran a piece yesterday about a paper by the author John Le Carré. Not a huge favourite of mine as a writer but usually readable and certainly knows a thing or two about this and that.
The comic straplined the piece with the claim that Le Carré was 'warning' us against the fate of being run by a public school, Oxbridge elite. But that wasn't really what the piece said at all: Le Carré like most of the population is well used to that, and in his case one could say comfortable with it.
What he was really warning against was the craven attitude adopted by successive British governments of all colours to the wishes, however depraved and misconceived, of the United States, and the embarrassing pickle that has got us into.
But I guess the weirdo Barclay twins weren't too keen on that and came on heavy with the hacks.
Snigger.... or perhaps the hacks did it themselves to slip the piece past them. If so, heads could roll.
