Chalk & Chunder

It’s amazing how mindlessly the hacks pushed the party line in David Cornwell’s obits. Writing as John le Carré, he portrayed spying as it really is as opposed to the world of James Bond, we were told.
    Fine. Except that Ian Fleming wrote entertainments and fiction, not something passed off as real life.
    See that thing on the horizon 1,760 yards away? That’s the point the hacks missed.
