Conrad’s scoop
A FEW posts back I said journalist Tom Foot had basically scooped the final interview with his great uncle, Michael Foot, with his piece about Arsenal and Plymouth Argyle playing each other in the FA Cup in the Camden New Journal. Alastair Campbell‘s blog reminds me that isn’t strictly true.
But if Tom is wondering who got the final interview, he doesn’t have to look too far. About a couple of desks. The boy, the author was actually Conrad Landin, a budding young writer who regularly interns at the New Journal’s offices. You can see the results of his meeting with Foot HERE, an interesting account of his adventures with George Orwell.
