John le Carre
RIP
". Mob orators of the sort we have, the Boris Johnson sort, do not speak reason. When you get into that category, your task is to fire up the people with nostalgia, with anger. It's almost unbelievable that these people of the establishment - Farage, for instance - are speaking of betrayal: 'I'm betrayed by parliament, betrayed by government - I'm speaking to you as a betrayed person."JLC.

I wonder how many times he was run out by Sir Geoffrey 
Happened to watch the BBC 2020 We Remember this morning, and My God! it lasted half an hour - I'd forgotten how many people have died in the last year. They even ran little themes with the likes of Sean Connery, Diana Rigg and Honor Blackman appearing together in Bond films.
F OFF 2020.

I fully expect 2021 to be a worse year than 2020. Not speaking about Covid and I hope I'm wrong, but I think 2020 was just the warmup act.
