Not sure if you caught last night's News at Ten, on the convicted paedophile who was sent down for activities in public schools in the 60s and 70s yesterday - half brother of Tory MP John Wittingdale, I believe.
They interviewed one of his victims from the past - Francis Wheen. Francis has always been hugely supportive of the stuff we (NV & Rap) have done on Smith, from the piece he wrote in New Statesman, 35 years ago, to the time and space he has given in the last couple of years in the Eye. Perhaps his experience as a victim helps explain his support.
Anyway, on a lighter note. All the very best for an enjoyable festive season, and here's to another roller coaster year in 2015!
