There was a horrible idea circulated last month by Quentin Letts (documented on this blog) that Jacqui Smith would be bought off by being offered the Governor’s chair in Gibraltar. It’s become habit that after a few military types then the Rock is due a failed politician to lurk in […]

This will be (almost certainly) the last comment on the EU elections – although the result in Northern Ireland may tempt TheEye out of that vow for one final snarl at the world. However this was spotted on Dizzy although hat-tips are doubtless deserved up the line (add to the […]

Now most kids want to be something – fireman, doctor, MEP (ha!) or….secret agent. You’d imagine that the life expectancy (hey, how many 007’s have there been) would be short but this one made it to 92 and had the scars to prove it. Former CIA agent Bernard Leon Barker, […]
