Anyone expecting Simon Heffer to kick lumps out of George Osborne in his Daily Telegraph column on Saturday following the "Corfu capers" affair won't have been disappointed. Heffer asked: "However comical the events concerning George Osborne and his international white trash friends might seem, there is a serious undertow to them. Can a dolt - indeed, a born dolt rather than one who has had doltishness thrust upon him - aspire to hold a great office of state?" He went on: "So George is silly; George has poor judgment; George is unreliable; George is, to coin a phrase, a dolt." For Osborne, being written about by Heffer must remind him of being held upside down by the ruffians of the Bullingdon Club and shouted at.
One joy of the weekend was reading a piece by Colin Dunne on the Gentlemen Ranters website about working for the somewhat staid Northern Echo in the days before Harry Evans arrived as editor.
