It does interest me, although not that much, that certain attributes tend to find certain people. It can’t be a coincidence, for example, that UFO’s only ever land in the gardens of people who dribble when they’re being interviewed on TV. You can’t tell me it’s a fluke that everyone who is gifted the ability to read the future from a crystal ball always looks a bit mystical and witchy. And people who are blessed with a combination of racism and arrogance seem be those people who find it easier to get on TV news interviews.

I can also be no coincidence whatsoever that the gentle art of snobbery always seems to find itself inside the hollow souls that you dread being stuck near at parties.

snobs and parties

ploop-revamp-002.jpgWell I couldn’t have got my predictions more wrong yesterday (here).  In mitigation I really didn’t think it possible that the cosy club would actually vote in a member of the opposition purely because he was disliked so much by his own party.  Oscar Wilde would be proud of such a plot line.

Anyway, lot’s to cover today – not least, Bercow settling down into his big green chair as we, as tapayers, decide we’ll dig deep to find up to £9.6 million for Stephen Hester, the gaffer at RBS.

Bercow, politics, news, speaker and business
