I’d Call It ‘The Audacity of the Pope’

July 14, 2008

Greg Hands reckons I should write a book. He even suggests a few topics I might consider – such as social breakdown. Sounds far too depressing to me – where’s the optimism? I thought perhaps a comedy about depressed clown with superpowers that she’s unaware of. Sort of a cross between Unbreakable and Hancock. Eventually, she uses her powers to save the one she loves. Or perhaps a Dan Brown style religio-political conspiracy action thriller. It turns out The Pope did it. Or did he?

Writing a book is something all the old Labour has-beens are doing, though. A sign of the old. We in the Conservative Party want to usher in a new beginning. Writing books isn’t for the modern man. Today we write blogs!

Right?
