I don't know whether Graham is supposed to be Gordon or whether I am. If the latter, I'm flattered as I knew him and he was a much better man than most I've known - and one of the very brightest. That dreadful 'pact' - positively Faustian as it turned out - was his tragic downfall and almost from that moment on it was one of the saddest declines of our times in British politics. Somebody ought to write poetry about it - though not you John. You'll only seethe and then take the mick! I mean something which tries to communicate a personal tragedy which had truly wide consequences. Not JB territory either; more Soutar crossed with Lochead if such can be inagined.
In any case, I'm sure you're proof against being hexed - and it is a very good piece indeed.
