Is the News of The World fallout shaking the scenery? Not only Paul Mason, but the charming Mishal Husain dragging her mike behind her across the studio, with falting but determined dignity, to interview some bod on the sorrowful, but earned passing of a Master, Lucien Freud. In between virtual giggles, and glances at the camera crew, the phrase ‘revelatory intensity’ was used for Freud’s into the skin and often very harsh genius. We all know, but don’t show us too much, you’ll have to work at phoenix Ark, and it’s us who need the bailout!
