Paul Rigby Wrote:Jon Ronson's compelling heroism in the service of truth:
Quote:Nosing around a Bilderberg Group meeting in Portugal for Them, Ronson notices his car is being followed, and in a panic he rings the British embassy. "I am essentially a humorous journalist,' I explained. I am a humorous journalist out of my depth. Do you think it might help if we tell them that?'"
From Steven Poole's review of Ronson's latest farrago-tome, So You've Been Publicly Shamed, The Grauniad, Review, Saturday, 7 March 2015, p.7
