It is not in dispute that, back when it was still just about legal, Chris Woodhead had an affair with a Sixth Former.
And now, this.
Unlike those other Thatcher favourites, Sir Jimmy Savile, Sir Cyril Smith, Sir Laurens van der Post, and the man on whom she was politically most reliant, Sir Peter Morrison, Sir Chris Woodhead is still alive.
Forfeiture would of course be automatic upon incarceration for having run an international free brothel for the predators of young boys.
But why wait?
The former Dame Jean Else lost her handle for less than has already been established in this case. Nor has she ever defended teacher-pupil sex, as Woodhead has in his time.
Savile also wangled himself a Papal Knighthood. Damian Thompson is said to be angling for one of those. He will of course call, perhaps on his Telegraph Blog, for Woodhead to lose his K forthwith.
After all, if not, then what are they to make of that in the Nunciature and in the Vatican? Or, indeed, anywhere else? What is any of us to make of it?
If Damian Thompson receives a papal knighthood than it will be richly deserved. He is an outstanding public witness to the faith.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Damian is far too humble to think of himself as a potential Papal Knight.
And they say that satire is dead.
