The BBC plans to rewrite Charles Dickens tonight, complete with the f-word and a scene showing a character urinating on a grave. We know, of course, that this can be done, thanks to Alastair Sim’s marvellous performance in the 1951 film Scrooge. We now know from his own lips, though 99 per cent of the British media have never reported it, that Mr Blair was himself once a Trotskyist. An astonishing number of Mr Blair’s Cabinet were also ‘former’ Marxists – and these are just the ones we know about. I just wish all those who managed to see the obvious Corbyn threat will one day understand the damage they allowed Mr Blair to do by praising him as the ‘moderate’ he never was.
