Christopher Isherwood wrote about Sally Bowles in "Goodbye to Berlin." Others turned it into "I am a Camera" a stage play then a film. After that it was turned into the musical, "Cabaret" on stage and then in the cinema. Isherwood only wrote once about this sad promiscuous night club performer but collected royalties all his life. How nice for him. The winner of the competition has donated his prize to "Homes for Heroes".
Sad news last week. Our last aircraft carrier is being broken up in Turkey - we used to build ships now we can't even dismantle them - and a huge order for railway rolling stock has gone from our wonderful government to Germany. On the bright side I am sure that Dave is going to defeat Gadaffi in a few months time when we shall have fired off all our missiles. Happily we can afford to replace them though we can't keep libraries open. Dave wrote a very nice article in suitably sloppy prose with split infinitives and prepositions at the end of sentences to convince us that all families would benefit from having a father as well as a mother. What a novel idea. Is this a part of the 'Big Society'? I think we should be told.
