I can't be bothered to follow the link.
Can't imagine that ol' Rod is going to do anything to challenge Toby's more than fair assessment of him at this stage. Although I'm sure that the booze bloated, sometime Today programme editor and Sunday Times/Spectator mainstay would, with his customary honesty and self awareness, attribute that to our being part of a tiny metropolitan elite of some kind or another.

Proper matchsticks-for-eyelids stuff from the ageing contrarian, going by the first line. Don't think I'll be needing a subscription to The Spectator to catch the rest of it. I am genuinely curious whether the otherwise respectable people who write for the magazine, or read it for that matter, somehow don't realise what a shabby proposition it is or just choose to ignore it because it suits their purposes (and bank balances).
I've got a lot of almost all older relatives who still read the Telegraph titles and the same sort of question presents itself; do familiarity and the pace of decline shield them from the realisation that it isn't the high quality product that they think that they are getting and maybe even were getting twenty five years ago.

I used to buy my half-price Torygraph from the Students' Union round the corner from where Benjm and I had a beer the other day. Obviously hardcore but still more or less sane: now it's a comic
