Once does not like to agree with Ken Clarke. But, not least because some of us had already made the point on Twitter, he was quite right on Any Questions: what sort of party, having pulled Godfrey Bloom for fear of appearing unserious, sent on Neil Hamilton instead?
Oh, well, I did tell Mabel Thompson to do panto. Neil Hamilton does it, and he gets to be on Any Questions. If she has ever been on that, then it cannot have been while I have been listening to it, which is now knocking on a quarter of a century.
She sent me one of her tiresome communications after my appearance on RT concerning Ascension Island. A ridiculous former tutee of mine, most notable in those days for electoral malpractice, had been in touch with her about it.
I normally delete her effusions unopened, especially since the one complaining that she had not had sex in 20 years. Resistible, Mabel? You? Surely not! But this time, I took a look. She has not responded to my reply asking exactly when she had last been on television.
Ho, hum. October is nearly upon us, during which Mabel must make a fortune from people who assume that what is in fact her ordinary appearance is a trick or treat costume. And then, Guy Fawkes will provide the ideal means by which to be rid of her once and for all.
Alas, just before the start of the panto season. But in that case, all the more work for Neil Hamilton.

RT is unfortunately the Russian version of Fox.
ReplyDeletePutin is RT's Rupert Murdoch.
Where Fox was silent on Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib, RT was equally disgracefully silent on Russia's far worse atrocities in Chechnya.
When the brave and brilliant Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya was murdered (probably by the FSB) for her investigations into torture in Chechnya, RT took Putin's side against the last remnants of a free press and real journalism in Russia.
Given the choice between Anna Politkovskaya and RT, we all know who is the journalist and who is the propagandist.
No one else has taken up this issue.
ReplyDeleteThat'll do me.
