Since everything Ken does is shot down by the evening standard (such as

Concentration camp guard. Now do you see why he said it?

Poor judgment? Ignorance? Stupidity? Self-importance? Not being able to

Probably a bit harsh but when the newspaper with the monopoly on
evening reading in London is always against anything you do you must be
able to see how he feels

He is a public official, and I expect more. Even from Ken.

All goes to show that people in public life ought not to drink.
