While checking that I had not missed any of my candidates’ demises, I made an interesting discovery. Sir Bernard Crick, famed academic and expert on George Orwell, whose biography of said author is a great book which I read many years ago, recently died. He was also active in the work of the Labour Party, [...] 2008 is ending with a flourish, as Harold Pinter goes to that big Birthday Party in the sky. I’m grateful for my fifth point this year.
