The Importance of Reading the Truth
I often want to condemn this government and David Cameron, everything that they do. But having worked in number 10, I know that the brain reality of government is that it's very tough. Ten years later from now, if we are here talking about problems with education, national health service, I will still be complaining and blaming Tony Blair. The reason I object to your book, Tom, is that I don't think it's a public service to portray a person and an entire government of being evil and wrong when the truth is much more complex than that. And actually, people need to read about the truth, not just to read things that they're entertaining and pander to their prejudices.
