Diary of a Notting Hill Nobody – 6 December 2008

Tamzin Lightwater's unique take on the week

Monday

A few loose ends I’m still trying to get to the bottom of:

1) If Damian was running the mole — and there’s no evidence to suggest he was but let’s just say he might have been — then who was running Damian? Wonky Tom says it’s Mrs Damian, the nice lawyer lady. Possible the whole idea was Damian’s I suppose, but seems v unlikely.

2) Was I involved in the leaks and if I was, have I done anything wrong? This is tricky. Been racking brains and do remember Mr G once asking me to pass someone something in a brown envelope. But I didn’t look inside so I can’t be involved, can I? Ethically speaking, this can be no different than all the other stuff I’d no idea I’d done until someone told me later, can it?

3) What’s the difference between a mole and a whistleblower? Do whistleblowers blow the whistle on moles, or vice versa? (Obviously moles can’t actually blow whistles.)
