Journalism Is A Darwinian Process.

I Love Mikhail Bulgakov. He Is Very Original And Takes The Story To Unexpected Places. I Didn't Realise Political Writing Could Be So Funny.

Novelisation Doesn't Imply The Truth. Readers Are Sophisticated Enough To Know That.

I'm Always Represented As A Bit Of A Class Warrior - A Bit Down With Men And Down With Middle-class People. Whereas I'm Actually Very Fond Of Men And Am Middle-class. I Even Went To Boarding School In Perthshire.

Journalism Is A Darwinian Process.

My Upbringing Was Middle-class But My Parents' Families Were Both Working-class So I Had This Odd Combination Of Working-class Background But In A Privileged Position.
