First Craig Murray Candidate discovers that he does not exist in real life.

Then, worse, he discovers that he does not exist on the BBC, apart from a perfunctory mention as per the relevant rules.

The fact is that in a strange, unspoken, even unanalysable way the Story just Moves On.

What were fascinating if not compulsive issues just get … boring.

Is it because we now have President Obama, so media railing against the hypocrisy of government does not have quite the same fierce moral urgency it had before?

Or just a fickle public mood and limited attention span?

Or just the hard fact that some things are more important than other things, and Craig’s self-absorbed fight for righteousness is not one of them?
