ALL in good time an official announcement will be forthcoming as to who is going to lead the Conservative Party.

Until then I wish the media would stop hounding possible contenders.

Little seems to have altered in this direction since the voracious pursuing of Diana, Princess of Wales.

It must be awful not being allowed to lock your own front door without massive publicity. Even people in the public eye are entitled to some privacy.
