PARSONS GREEN — There’s a lady in a business suit sitting reading The Guardian. The Media Guardian is tossed on the bench beside her. Untouched.
It’s maybe symptomatic of a larger issue. And then again maybe I am just getting old. [Cue rant.] Why do the media need sections dedicated to… the media?
I find myself hanging around late in cinemas just to stare in awe at the screen. Why do we need to have “credits” for the caterers assistant?
Why do the arts and the softer sciences need to be so self-congratulatory?
It does none of us any good.
Can you imagine a great big banner being pulled behind an aircraft: “And the guy who polished the wing was called Gus…”?
