Cheering news

There will be no publication of Hattersley's political diaries as he destroyed his notes 20 years ago. More here, not that is is worth reading. Having had a look at the big stories of 1986, maybe the fall of Duvalier and Marcos scared Roy into thinking he should not be offering up too much rope..

Roy Hattersley makes another of his periodic pleas for attention

Sky.com carries one of the old bore's pleas for attention, not that it describes it as such. The vehicle this time is his calling on Blair to stand down ahead of conference. Face it Roy, Blair hardly needs advice from a not so much has-been as a never was like you. I cannot imagine that there is anyone, anywhere interested in his opinions, and certainly none who will be influenced by them. Now why don't you go away and leave us alone, and stop polluting The Spectator while you are at it.

Wikipedia also notes that he has a criminal record.
