I know you've deceived me, now here's a surprise

There was a trailer on TV about the recent publication of political diaries about the rise (and fall? we can but hope) of New Labour, described as being by the man who ‘Saw It All’.

I laughed more than a little. Surely that's not merely a careless choice of words? The diaries are by David Blunkett – probably the only man who Saw Absolutely Nothing.
