The biter bit, chewed up, and spat out
Just seen the greatest interview disaster of all time on BBC News channel, when Simon McCoy, the presenter, attempted to grill/Paxmanise, Sir Martin Sorrell, founder and head of the marketing giant WPP, as part of a highly slanted presentation that the Beeb is running today on directors’ remuneration. Sir Martin is one of the smartest men in the world, as poor old Simon found out when his ‘victim’ demolished his case with his first answer then took him to places he’d never been, and fired information at him that might have been part of his briefing but wasn’t. After several minutes of not getting a word in, Simon said, ‘I’m sorry but we have to go to the weather now. If I come back to you in five minutes will you still be there?’ Smile by Sir Martin; ‘Probably not.’ Wonderful.

not smiling today, though, is he… seems that wpp’s shareholders agreed with the ‘slanted’ BBC
I doubt if he’s choking on his Krug, since the resolution is non-binding.
