…Thinking woman’s (?) Tory Michael Gove flanked by two young Boris-leaflet bearing sharp suited men marching him towards Northfields tube station at 5.30 today. Pre-MP Gove used to contribute to the edited books of the irrepressible Mark Perryman . I was a contributor alongside him to this title on Blairism (although I never met the guy, who looks even younger now he’s ditched wearing glasses). He is not however in “Imagined Nation: England After Britain”. I guess he has had other fish to fry lately - which according to his Conservative homepage was the family business.
I couldn’t engage in banter/do the “keeping a Tory on the doorstep routine” sadly as I was in a car.

Rupa,
Michael came with four of his staff/colleagues for a couple of hours canvassing in Northfield. He was unfailing pleasant and cheeful in spite of the rain which left him pretty soaked.

Rupa,
Mr Gove is paid handsomely by a number of neo-con think tanks in the US to promote a policy background of “Clash of Civilisations,” “Eurabia” and ” Preemptive War on Terror.” I find that a bit depressing.
