7.45* Thought for the Day
For over 25 years, this column of satire and opinion has adorned the Daily Telegraph. Scourge of lefties, trendies, and the muddled well-meaning, it has always been in the avant-garde of truth - however painful or hilarious that may be. Kingsley Amis pays tribute to 'a sparkling wit, graceful stylist, and formidable moralist' with illustrations read by Nigel Hawthorne.
