...Michael "Owlbastard" Martin is to get a peerage.
Just speechless about this so let's see what my cards say. It's the Leaf Dancer again. I promise I shuffled the pack but that kind of convinces me that this situation comes into conjunction with the Card of the Day. I can just see the Torygraph front page tomorrow...
Martin has slipped passed us under the radar and speared himself a nice, plump "retirement" present that goes beyond any possible semblance of a joke. It's a great Tom Lehrer moment - you know, the guy who said satire was dead when Henry Kissinger received the Nobel Peace Prize - isn't it?
