I almost forgot why I came here! Put it down to the wine! I'm feeling a bit sad because of the passing of John Pilger. I think he must have been one of my heroes. I remember seeing him on the telly, decades ago and feeling a certain... kinship. He was a bit like Germaine Greer and Richard Neville, (if anyone remembers him and OZ magazine) they all cut through the British class system like hot knives through butter! I started at the top, and worked my way down! Barry Lyndon, in reverse. Whoops, rambling, 'cause of the wine, sorry! Anyway, Pilger was interviewing John Boltona bout arms control in Europe (those were the days) and Bolton was uncomfortable with the trajectory of the questions because Pilger was well-prepared. By question number three Bolton was bristling, litterally. He finally burst out, 'Are you a Communist!' That was televison joy for me. Those actually, were, the days, alas.
