(to the tune of ‘Daniel’ by Elton John)
Jeffrey is leaving today down the lane
I can see the paparazzi, flashing away in vain;
Oh, and I can see Jeffrey waving goodbye;
God, it looks like Jeffrey might have a teardrop in his eye.
Oh, ooh, Jeffrey our brother, bet you’re glad to be free;
Now you can tell the world what you think of Narey.
You did time well, it’s now your time to tell;
Jeffrey, you’re a star, go on, son, give ‘em hell.
I have not given an interview to the press, or appeared on radio or television, since.
During the last year, I have addressed a dozen or so organizations since speaking to the Howard League, including the Disraelian Society, Trinity College Oxford, the Thirty Club, the Hawks club and the Criminal Law Solicitors’ Association.
I have also conducted twenty charity auctions, raising just over a million pounds, and run the Flora London marathon (5 hrs 26 mins) where I was overtaken by a camel, a phone box, a cake and a girl walking.
Most of my spare time has been taken up with carrying out research for my next novel – and continuing to work on the screenplay of Mallory: Walking Off the Map.
