Spoilt Rotten – the Toxic Cult of Sentimentality by Theodore Dalrymple. Brilliant – it sums up 21st century life in the UK.

To answer the question, no. But leaking is the order of the day. So we will become immune to it and probably expect it. When was the last time an official announcement of any sort was not part leaked to the media.

It stinks!

Just back to blighty to discover the repeat of this excellent series. A documentary tonight followed by all 28 episodes weekday nights starting tomorrow – can’t wait. Much of today’s TV cannot hold a candle to past programmes…………..

Which is the point Daniel Hannan was making, of course. And which is why you are leaving us for the US.
