" . . . I like Orwell's writing as much as the next talented mediocrity".

I have grave doubt that Mr. Self was "reflexively" referring to himself as a "talented mediocrity."

While I'm sure he'd agree with the modifier (except in that he might consider it an understatement), somehow I can't see him having enough insightful introspection to label himself as a "mediocrity." Very Happy

Regards,
Mediocre John

But nowhere near important enough for the cash that comes rolling in.

As I said, I wish I had as little talent.

I think that as both Blair and Self were/are English the Russians should not interfere in our internal affairs.

Blair didn't think twice about meddling in others' affairs. Either in Spain, or Iraq...

And here you are defending him whilst I am defending neither of them.

I'm more Self attacking than defending...

Not from where I'm sitting, otherwise why did you start the thread in the first place?

Can't stand the BBC, obviously. A veritable Ministry of Truth.

Can't stand Selfie either, for that matter. Urggghhh!

I never said I was a fan of either. The programmes the former make I am but not the corporation it has become I am not. It used to be a pillar of impartiality but now......
