Patrick Foster
An anonymous email arrives and tells Old Holborn a little about the friend of Bloggers, Patrick Foster of the Times
“Feather Duster likes to keep an eye out for new talent arriving in Fleet Street, and I cannot recommend anyone higher than a young buck named Patrick Foster.
He is doing very well at The Times, where he is employed as a trainee journalist.
Last Friday, Patrick even managed to get a mention on the front page of The Daily Telegraph, in its story about the Oxford student who has been rusticated for videoing a couple having sex.
Although The Telegraph was unaware of Patrick’s connection to the broadsheet rival, he was described as the cameraman’s “accomplice”. I think I am right in saying that Patrick is the chap who put the video on the internet.

This not only shows that he has new media skills, but that he also has a flair for making news as well as writing about it, though he’s got a lot to do if he wants to catch up with Piers Morgan.
Patrick was rusticated himself a couple of years ago over a story published in whichever Oxford rag he was editing — something to do with exposing problems with Oxford’s IT network.
And he was responsible for having an entire issue of the newspaper pulped because he identified the victim of a gay rape.
Patrick will go far.”
I wonder if Patrick would like to contact Old Holborn to discuss: oldhoborn@gmail.com
I’ve tried emailing him on patrick.foster@thetimes.co.uk but he isn’t replying. Maybe he is worried I’ll post a photo of him, his home phone number and his home address.
Sauce for the Goose, Patrick……..
