3 In the Times Literary Supplement, 21 February 1992. The pity is, though, that almost at the same time (in The Times, 11 February 1992) Ryan wrote a rather frivolous, and to my mind, unnecessary defence of the Labour Party’s frivolous idea of holding a fund-raising dinner costing £500 per head at one of the most ‘chic’ and cost-exploiting venues in London. According to the article: ‘the idea that a principled concept for the pleasures of bourgeois life is indispensable to left-wing politics is obsolete!’ Yet it is very doubtful that a proper bourgeois (we are all now bourgeois!) will spend £500 on a dinner, even less on a political dinner, and that he will think that to enjoy the conversation of Lady Antonia Fraser and Mr John Mortimer, Mr Nazmu Vivani (owner of Bellhaven brewery) and Paul Swraj (chairman of Caparo industries) is a pleasure of bourgeois life!
