Tooting Station (not Pootergeek – Tooting, Pooter – get it straight, can’t you?) seems to be reading Why Truth Matters. He quotes a passage from it and then quotes Amartya Sen in that article we’ve been reading here. He doesn’t say anything about hating WTM.
A couple of days ago I saw this guy who went to Waterstone’s in Piccadilly to browse because it was raining (I’ve done that! Gone to that same Waterstone’s to get out of the rain – that was one very rainy day) – went there to browse, I say, and he bought one book. Just the one. Discerning fella.

Ophelia: the link you give is not to PooterGeek but to To the Tooting Station.
Oops! Thanks Jonathan. Silly me – Pooter was in Islington, not Tooting.

OT, but;
Channel 4 Monday 6 March at 8pm
Rod Liddle investigates the evangelical Christians who tell teenagers that contraception won’t protect them and that homosexuality is wrong, and finds out what children are taught in the state schools they run.
Not too sure about Liddle, but sometimes British telly fives one cause for hope.
Don, yes, Liddle is an odd mix. Part smug, infuriatingly right-on smartarse, part spot-on. I wonder if Jerry Sadowizt will appear on the Jewish slot…
A bit off topic but, have you seen this?
