A Message from the Leaders of the British Empire
It has been brought to our attention that on January 6th one "Tomski" opined on this forum that the recently honoured statesman Sir Anthony Charles Lynton Blair KG was "creepy" and that he (Tomski) was "looking forward to his Hague prison haircut one sunny day."
That sentiment was, alas, not untypical. If one was to boil down all that spleen and rancour, it would result in the following statement: "If BLAIR [often spelled wrongly but pointedly as "BLIAR"] is an example of a knight, then there is something wrong with the knighthoods.”
We would like to point out that the rogue BLAIR is an aberration, an abomination, a boor, a cad, a fantasist, an irritant, a liar, a racist, a war criminal, and a witch-burner. An asshole, if one were to employ the vernacular. The rest of Great Britain’s, and indeed the Empire’s, knights, however, are gentlemen and ladies of the highest character.
So let’s condemn this fellow BLAIR by all means, but let us also praise good men and true, like the following exemplars of moral courage and intellectual excellence…..
Lord Adonis Baron Arbuthnot of Edrom, PC Lord Archer of Weston-Super-Mare (Life Peer) Baroness Blood Lord Boateng Lord Botham Lord Blair of Boughton (Life Peer) Lord Bragg [1] Lord Browne of Belmont (Democratic Unionist Party, Life Peer) The Lord Archbishop of Canterbury [2] Baron Goldsmith of Richmond Park, PC Baron Hain PC Lord Heseltine Baroness Hoey Lord Kinnock Lord Lamont of Lerwick Lord Levy Baron Mandelson PC Lord John Mann Baroness Manningham-Buller (AKA "Bullying Manner") Lord Mendelsohn Baroness Neville-Jones Lord Owen Lord Patten of Barnes Lord Reid of Cardowan Lord Saatchi Sir James Savile Lord Stirrup Lord Stone of Blackheath [3] Lord Sugar [4] lord Tebbit Dame Margaret Thatcher The Duke of Wellington Lord Winston Sir Clive Woodward
I've got punters in high places that tell me this is Mr M from down under. You cad, Mr M ... I had no idea who Douglas Mitchell is - a hack I hear. I was taken in
... Prince Charles has people to arrange his wedding for him, which was why he was on the ski slopes of Klosters in Switzerland, posing for the cameras with his sons William and Harry in the hope that the paparazzi would leave him in peace for the rest of his week-long stay.
"I hate doing this," he muttered under his breath and, "Bloody people," as he smiled wryly, apparently blissfully unaware that microphones on the ground in front of him were picking up every murmur.
But the prince's ire seemed mostly directed at the normally inoffensive BBC royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell, a man once known to his colleagues as the bionic carrot and hitherto most famous for sitting on a studio-invading lesbian demonstrator while he carried on reading the Six O'Clock News.
"I can't bear that man anyway. He's so awful, he really is. I hate these people," Charles added as a not so sotto voce running commentary to his sons when Mr Witchell ruthlessly probed the prince's feelings about his forthcoming wedding. For public consumption, he merely said: "I am glad you have heard of it."
The mumbled exchanges began with Charles asking his two sons: "Do I put my arms around you?"
