One response to “The GQ Interviews – John Bercow”

  1. It never fails to fascinate me how the most incongruous events in life can lead you in directions you never intended to pursue. How I found myself here, spending an hour at 05:30 on a Saturday morning, watching an interview with John Bercow, is too long a story of the twists and turns of a constantly searching mind that wakes too early and wonders too much. Suffice to say that I enjoyed the interview enormously and I’m really pleased to have discovered this site. But that’s not to say that I won’t have moved on to other worlds and other websites and forgotten all about you by the time I’ve finished breakfast.
