Behind the News
In my dream last night I was talking to a cat who had read "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" but didn't know what a sheep was. I think I want my dreams to be more logical. I mean, how would a cat turn pages?So, all this stuff about Lord Bragg and Tony Blair almost deciding to step down in the spring? The real reason is that his daughter attempted suicide in spring. The British media have all agreed not to report the story, although I'm betting that someone's going to blurt it out inadvertently today because it's one of those really widely known "secrets", and with all this analysis of what Melvyn Braggs comments are really getting at.
I agree that it's good that the Sun didn't run some "dramatic suicide bid" front page, and the Daily Mail do some awful feature on "middle-class girls who attempt suicide", but I think that it's good if people know. And it makes sense of what everyone is saying today in the papers and on the radio and whatnot.
Another trip to the movies planned this evening, this time for The Motorcycle Diaries, hurrah!
