Just to show you how little things can change in 150 years I stumbled on this quote attributed to Karl Marx in Robert Payne's biography Marx:
"By means of a hidden and artificial sewer system all the lavatories of London spew their physical filth into the Thames. By means of the systematic pushing of goose quills the world capital spews out all its social filth into the great papered central sewer called the Daily Telegraph."
I would have liked have been a fly on the wall if Marx had ever had the opportunity to converse with Lord Black.
