paul dacre isn't... this is outrageous. i have put up with you for long enough.cist. look at the stephen lawrence campaign you highlighted. his finest hour, many would say. no! campaigns against the torture policies. campaigned against guantanamo bay... it does not fit into the liberal hypothesis we have been getting here. let's move it along. i was coming here to celebrate one of the great careers of a british newspaper editor, not to have an endless argument about brexit. just in that context. could there be another? or have newspapers got the point where circulations are on the slides, long—term, and no other newspaper could the same influence? is that possible? in terms of the power he wielded he was a phenomenal editor. the strength of his personality. the causes... they were not all bad. i agree with going after peter lawrence's killers. whether we have another one is whether we are able to find somebody who is able to articulate a similar agenda and have a similar influence over the news agenda, particularly the bbc, which is what made the daily mail so im
