The things I do for you!
In a re-run of that 1980s condom advert, I had to endure a moment in a busy Notting Hill newsagent where the guy in charge shouted to one of his workers, 'Can you fetch a Telegraph, Times and Daily Mail for this chap here'. They'll be choking on their Bruschetta tonight, I fear.Anyway, I can report that, as we always knew, the Daily Telegraph was the clear winner. One, possibly two, on the front page, and at least two, possibly four (though there's a hint of gingerness), on p.19. The Times couldn't even find one, whilst the Mail was strangely subdued with just the one. So adding it all up I think we get 6-7 for the Telegraph, 2 for the Times (from yesterday) and 2 for the Mail.
There is, as you might expect, lots of other blogworthy stuff in the Mail, including a Lord Tebbit's views on Asians, St John Stevas's views on Princess Margaret, and an essentially deranged article by Simon 'Smoking cannabis is an attack on society on a par with throwing acid in someone's face' Heffer on British coinage that he has known.
