Barefoot Blair
According to Martin Kettle's reconstruction of a reported meeting between Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, Mr. Blair has anticipated the Flea's new barefoot lifestyle. Despite Kettle's pessimism as to the effectiveness of his profession, these full-time news chaps do manage useful tidbits now and then.
My problem is that this is the limit of what I know. Sure, I can imagine some of the circumstantial detail that would make the story sound more immediate. I can tell you that the meeting took place in the Hilton Metropole, because it must have done - since that was where all the bigwigs stayed. I can say with some confidence that it probably took place on the fourth floor, looking out over the Channel. I imagine that Blair wore an open-necked shirt and jeans, and may have been barefoot, because that's what he does when he is out of the public eye; and I imagine that Brown wore a suit and tie, because that's his regular off-duty kit.
