Kenya and Ratigan

The Times is carrying on with its vendetta against the Foreign Office and its part in what they call atrocities in Kenya in fighting the Mau Mau.  My uncle spent most of his life in East Africa where he built bridges and mined micah which was used for airplane making during the war.  He could not hurt a fly and was the kindest of men.  This is Murdoch's way of throwing up a smoke screen because he knew all about the hacking of Sienna Miller's phone - nothing happens in his empire without him knowing.  Also he is frightfully cross about the possible blocking of his purchase of BskyB.  Hell knows no fury like an ozzie spurned.

Overcome by the plaudits for Cause Celebre we aren off to the Old Vic.

Drama Queens

We're going in to bat again

For dear Terence Ratigan;

Though we might prefer Maugham

When he's really in form;

And I fear that poor Noel

May have scored an own goal.

Yet this trio of gays

Are most worthy of praise;

They never made us think

And gave way to the kitchen sink.
