How depressing. What is the point of James Fenton. People always thought
I was joking when I said Pam Ayers was a better versifier. I was deadly
serious.
She was funny but naff and treated as a joke. He's unfunny and trite and
for
god knows what reason on this wonky wayward earth he's taken seriously.
I felt embarrassed for him reading this. Lets get John Prescott to knock
some sense into him.
