Having suffered Charles Clarke’s own antisocial behaviour – his being an hour late at the recent CIH presidential dinner and delivering the most boring and haranguing speech I have heard for many a year – the last thing I expected was that he would be given room in your pages to put his name to a piece clearly written by a civil servant, saying much the same thing.

Does he imagine he is telling us anything we don’t know, or deal with, from practical day-to-day experience? Where does rank bad manners and bumptiousness figure in his panoply of activities best avoided in a civilised society?
