Has Kelvin MacKenzie had some kind of Damascene conversion? The Independent's Andy McSimth quotes the bullish former Sun editor as telling Kingston and Elmbridge Lifestyle magazine: "In this world, fierce won't fly. You must rely more on charm. If you are vile, like I used to be, you won't last two seconds." This from the man known for his stridency in the newsroom and who once told Press Gazette "Look, I am not here to be helpful. I am here to help myself, right, so I have no regrets to how I treated some people"? Monkey hopes Kelvin restores normal service soon.
