Big press brou ha ha. Press heard political associate of PM. calling party activists swivel eyed loons. He denies it. Why bother? It is in the nature of political parties that they attract persons with a mission and the activists are such to a greater degree. Some at least are probably unhinged by their quest but it may well be they who are of most benefit to the party. Wear the badge with pride! For the rest of us who have no contact with politics this is of no consequence other than the need to get into government truly representative non party political people.

Niall Ferguson
Poor chap.Wants to be a historian but failed history 101. To be a historian you have to start with an open mind and without fixed views or prejudices. He didn't. He is some sort of right wing ideologue and all his work is an attempt to show that the right's predecessors did no wrong and that their legacy is pure and simple. It isn't. And so he fails from the outset. He has of course done well without doing any good. He has written books and made TV shows and loads of money. But he is at heart a failure. His version of history is pathetic and will not be a source of inspiration for anyone. He is still young however and who knows what the future holds.
