The Hutton Enquiry website is gripping. I’ve lost several hours looking over emails and letters that would normally not get into the public domain. There’s been talk of how this offers an insight into the world of the BBC and the Government, and it really does. On one level the documents show how these organisations actually work – procedures, meetings, etc. And on another, they show how these people communicate with each other. We see the links between the BBC and the Government, the internal emails that assume familiarity, the emails from the press to Alastair Campbell that get one word responses. etc. etc. What more could someone interested in politics and media ask for? (Apart, of course, for the whole thing to be about something rather less depressing than the death of a Government official.)
