Amol interviews John Major

[Bonefish Blues]

A proper statesman in full flow, prompted by an interviewer who wants to hear what the interviewee has to stay. Really enjoying this.

Feels like a completely different era.

Are you having a laugh? He is not and never was a statesman.

I assume there were no questions about him shagging Edwina Currie behind his wife’s back?

[Bonefish Blues]

No, that's why I termed him this

He was positively Churchillian compared to the current and recent lot.

He set up the Good Friday agreement for Blair to steam in and take the credit.

I agree entirely.

Shone a very bright light on just how far we have fallen.

That I do agree with it and it’s usually forgotten.

Can’t think of any other achievement (although that is a significant one).

I wouldn't class him as exceptional in any way. Vaguely competent in a dull sort of way, perhaps.

Things have just been such a circus over the last few decades that it automatically seems positively grand in comparison.

I really the enjoy ‘Amol Rajan, interviews’ liking his style of questioning, content and tenacity.

Are you such a shallow person that you are only interested in that?
