Robert Jay gives Wagner what for
|
Version 0 of 1. The Daily Telegraph editor Tony Gallagher was no fan of Lord Justice Leveson, fulminating about his inquiry in his leader columns on several occasions. One wonders, however, if he has a soft spot for Leveson's lead counsel and noted wordsmith, <strong>Robert Jay QC</strong>. Monkey only asks as Jay on Tuesday makes what is believed to be his debut in the paper, expounding on the virtues and weaknesses of Verdi and Wagner. And he doesn't pull his punches. "Wagner was a lousy human being," says Jay. Shame the barrister couldn't persuade his master, Leveson, to use such strident language in his final report, which let just about every major figure off the hook – from David Cameron to Rupert Murdoch to a succession of police commissioners. |
