Letting go

I am currently ploughing through Chris Mullin’s diaries – reading is hard when you have your head in your hands.

I really enjoyed one anecdote on page 80. Sir Richard Wilson, Secretary to the Cabinet, reportedly said, in response to complaints about control freakery in 10 Downing Street, “[Blair] has teenage children. He’s going to have to learn how to let go sooner or later.”

Well, in one sense he was forced to learn eventually.
