The guilty molester of young girls Stuart Hall has been getting on my nerves. I hardly know who he is or what he looks like and I don't want to know what he's supposed to have done.
He shares both names though with a Jamaican intellectual whose obituary some here may have seen earlier this week. A brisk read of the obit might convey the image of a clacking left-wing ideologue, but that would be very misleading.
The proper Stuart Hall was an utterly charming and delightful man of broad and deep culture and great tolerance. Rather unusually this is plain to see from his obituary photo.
I was going to put this post in the Yewtree thread, but that seemed so inappropriate that I didn't.
