Sir Alfred Sherman

This blog is in mourning for Sir Alfred Sherman. Full obit in The Telegraph. While given to rather blunt statements from time to time, he was a great man and is sorely missed. In my own secular goyische way, I will say Kaddish for him.

Maybe it's just my perception, but for all the Islamic paranoia, Jewish figures seem to be a lot less influential in the political sphere than they were say 25 years ago. For example, I bet there are fewer MPs of Jewish heritage now compared to then.

I think you are probably right. I never forgave MacMillan for his vile (and wholly inaccurate) 'joke' about Thatcher's cabinet having more Estonians than Etonians. He was referring to Lawson and Brittan having Litvak roots.
