I have searched through some of the message boards and am surprised that nobody has mentioned the uncanny likeness of Skimpole to our illustrious past leader Tony Blair - could play him to a tee, complete with unctuous smile as he sends us to war in Iraq...
shareFunny you should have said that but I thought Richard Carstone was the living image of the lying hound that is Tony Blair, or at least a younger version of him.

But Richard is a victim - a victim of his own inability to dismiss the Chancery case from his mind and find himself a career that can sustain him and, eventually, Ada. I don't feel that Blair is in any way a victim!
shareNo Blair is certainly not a victim. I merely meant that Richard looked like a young Blair.
