    it's also quite amusing to watch Toynbee, Ashley et al edging tortuously away from their belated 'Gordon must go' positions of September

    I'm so glad that this is now coming out in hindsight. Don't want to push the point but I did wonder two years ago about this.

    I wondered about this in the US at least 20 years ago.
