"Since those sorry days we have frequently heard him repeating the self-regarding mantra that 'hand on heart, I only did what I thought was right'. But this is a narcissist's defence, and self-belief is no answer to misjudgment: it is certainly no answer to death."
Bloody hell that's fierce. But true.

Tony Blair's bid for EU presidency sinks | World news | The Guardian:
"'It would be right to describe Tony's chances as fading,' one British source said. 'Nicolas Sarkozy and Angela Merkel are not terribly enthusiastic. Silvio Berlusconi remains his strongest backer.'"

Time to make them pay
Obama has got his pay tsar. So let's tax crazy profits here | Polly Toynbee | Comment is free | The Guardian: "'Learn to tolerate inequality,' said Lord Griffiths, vice-chairman of Goldman Sachs, Mrs Thatcher's hyper-Hayekian economic adviser and lay preacher, speaking at St Paul's cathedral. At least he confronted the question head on: is that what people want? Someone should ask them. If President Barack Obama can have a 'pay tsar', cutting cash salaries of bailed-out company executives by 90%, why can't we? Better still, a high pay commission, examining differentials, probing the dangerous madness of all this."
Not fit to run public service broadcasting
The predictable outcome, after BBC legitimised BNP by needlessly offering priceless tv platform.
BBC NEWS | Politics | BNP support in poll sparks anger: "Peter Hain says his fears have been proved right after a poll suggested support for the BNP has risen after Nick Griffin appeared on Question Time.
A YouGov poll in the Daily Telegraph suggests 22% of people questioned would 'seriously consider' voting BNP.
The Welsh secretary said: 'The BBC has handed the BNP the gift of the century on a plate and now we see the consequences. I'm very angry.'
The show was watched by a record eight million people on Thursday."
Well said Hain.
This was not socially responsible broadcasting - looks more like they were going for the ratings. The boss of the BBC should resign. Not fit to run public service broadcasting.
