A moment to savour
From Robert Triggs Sir: Spot on Charles Moor& (The Spectator's Notes, 6 November.) Quite the most satisfying aspect of the Republican victory in the American presidential election is that it has confounded the predictions of so many media pundits.
It gives me a frisson of pleasure to see so many arrogant noses nibbed so firmly in the dirt: bearded, baseball-capped Michael Moore; the Pinters and their coterie of Bollinger bolsheviks inhabiting the leafy purlieus of London WS; the vast and vacuous army of pollsters with their swingometers in tow: most BBC political journalists. On the morning of 3 November, the whole monstrous Tower of Babel collapsed. These self-appointed experts will re-invent themselves, of course, but for once the voice of the people was heard and it was a moment to savour.
