Stephen Pollard's fabulous article about why John Humphrys should be the first up against the wall, come the revolution.
About five years ago, I organised an event for a large international media conglomerate (it was actually about "information overload", and their PR department invented the phrase to sell more information management products). Humphrys was the keynote speaker. Now I've worked with Cherie Booth, Neil Kinnock, and a host of other "luminaries" as speakers at my events, and most of them are humble and charming, if a little busy. For example, Neil Kinnock had his photo taken with my assistant when he discovered she was from the same place in Wales as him. John Humphrys was among the most demanding of speakers I've ever come across, and treated me and my team like badly paid underlings to whom he would pass his used coffee cup without even a word of thanks.
