WE ARE THE LITTLE PEOPLE OF ENGLAND AND IT’S TIME TO SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

Danny Finklestein is of course right. Partygate is mind-blowingly stupid and the people responsible for it were unbelievably arrogant. But it’s it’s quite a long time ago now isn’t it? And quite a few people were involved including, it appears, one or two whose job it was to tell us what’s going on.

Those with the “tell the story” brief are called journalists. And yet we’ve had to wait until now to find out about it. Why did none of the partygoers blow the whistle – and much, much earlier? Why did none of the hacks see that they had a story? Was there some sort of omertà applying?

The answer to my last question is obviously yes there was a conspiracy of silence. And it held. Why was that ? People mostly act rationally especially in the golden halls of the rich and famous. The fingers tap the noses. Nudge, nudge wink wink. Don’t say anything old boy – mum’s the word.
