I keep old posts on the site because I often enjoy reading old content on other people's sites. Not everything that is old is bad. It can be interesting to see how views have changed over time: for example, how my strident teenage views have mellowed and matured.
But given the age of this post, please bear in mind:
- My views might very well have changed in the 11 years since I wrote this post. I have written some very silly things over the years, many of which I find pretty embarrassing today.
- This post might use language in ways which I would now consider highly inappropriate or offensive.
- Factual information might be outdated.
- Links might be broken; embedded material might not appear properly.
Okay. Consider yourself duly warned. Read on...
Obviously, I haven’t read Mr Campbell’s book yet, but I fear that his introduction tells me everything I need to know:
What I hope this book does is help to paint a rounded picture of a man of enormous drive and vision, who was determined to use his time in power to make a difference and brought about a lot of change for the better.
If that’s the rounded version, I’d hate to see the sycophantic version.
