I told you so… Gustave Doré’s Babel
Jonathan Miller is a recovering journalist. He studies the fabrication of information. He is a student of France and the French, especially the relationship between England and France, the French and English languages, Percheron horses and the Citroën Traction Avant.
Jonathan,
came across your blog when you commented on the same story as me in the Telegraph – Jeff Randall’s piece on the BBC.
I like your structure and content. Puts my blogs to shame. I’ll come back to read from time to time.
Dear Jonathan – As one of the zombie journalists at today’s FMD press conference – any idea which private companies operate at Pirbright? (Should say in our defence we did pick up on La Reynolds’ Pirbright remarks immediately!)
Regards – Rob White, ITV News.
I’ve just discovered your blog. V. good.
I do like the Tower of Babel as an illustration and understand the confusion of tongues – with my added dyslexia. I am a writer, albeit an advertising copywriter, after 40 years in French, German and Spanish speaking locations, and after a few pints, I often find myself verbally confused.
I shall follow your pages with interest.
Oh, yes, long live fabricated information, Harrods and the French language unadulterated by any other (especially the trash from these American shores). I mean someone who knows that the great vowel shift was not a war can’t be all bad. I will have to return and often.
Oh, and I had a dear old aunt who was overweight. She got stuck in the back of a Citroyen taxi of 40 years ago. I THINK we got her out. Never paid much attention to that branch of the family.
Mr Miller
I have read your work concerning your Uncle Morris in the Spanish Civil War. I visit the area regularly and have an interest in that period of history. I am having difficulty finding a way to contact you. I am not sure but are you the same J Miller that works on C4?
I have a Catalan friend that farms the area near Gandesa so will be visiting in September. Happy to leave some flowers for your Uncle Morris when I am there .

Thank you for finding me. No, I am not the Channel 4 News correspondent. He is a very fine journalist – and there are very few. I used to be confused with Jonathan Miller polymath and was even sent librettos. There are in fact hundreds if not thousands of people with my name, I have discovered via Google! What a cohort… perhaps we should demand a homeland, asylum or sanctuary.
