I well recall a memorable lunch with that mighty and incredible statesman Ian Smith of Rhodesia.He explained how Rhodesia under his rule was one of the few countries in the world that was seeing crime rates fall.
There were 14 terrorists awaiting execution in Salisbury's Jails,which was vexing the liberal democracies,Including Betty Windsor .Ian had no need of "Special Advisers",He simply called in his minister of law and order ,I believe Lardner Burke,and put all the requests for clemency in the bin,where they belonged and instructed him to get on with it.The next day wonderful PK van Der Byl was asked how many terrorists were executed in Salisbury.In his Incredible drawl he simply said "That's an academic question, they're dead anyway".Will we ever see their like again . Sadly not,one can but weep.
Say, I heard that your guy Mussolini pinched people in church. This was before the swordfights and hair loss. He had not reached his majority. BIG pincher.
He'd just grab their flesh. Something of a pincher, your guy.
I had an uncle who had some sort of special entrance to Wimbledon,it was called a debenture or something He sold it when they started getting black ball boys ,the last time we went one of the Williams sisters was playing
It was like watching a mars bar run around I've never watched it since.
Please tell us more about your Hungarian special advisor Sir Jacob.By looks and appearance I would say he's a gentleman of the Hebrew faith.,Given that so little seems to be available about him perhaps you might deign to enlighten us.?Our appetites are whettened by these delicacies you have so graciously shared with us.?Is he a graduate of the George Soros school of diplomacy and economics.Do pray inform us,it sounds so Interesting.
I naturally mean Mr Radomir Tylecote.Why does an obviously intelligent individual like yourself (and myself)have need of "Special Advisers ".How much did this individual cost the British taxpayer..You can have my advice for free you always have !!!I thought you were committed to saving the British taxpayer money .Just how much did he cost us.?Delete this and I'll just repost it.
We all have special advisors. My person is a local parish priest. He's popular and always on call.
He did something fun a few weeks back. He ordered a life-sized photo cut-out of our new Pope Leo XIV. So, if you're in conference with this local padre, and his Batphone rings and he has to skedaddle, he brings over the Pope cut-out to comfort you until he gets back.
He also brings the Pope cut-out on to the altar during Mass so it looks like the Pope is supervising the homily with a gimlet eye. Like if Robert DeNiro was behind you.
After Mass, The Pope is right outside the East Door, posing for photos.
Hello Gabrielle,is your parish priest paid by the American taxpayer.?The albino Turk (Boris Johnson)had a special adviser,she is now the youngest peeress in the Lords.No one can figure out why.I should imagine she had special skills but not ones that are spoken about in polite society..
Rishi Sunak's special advisers are now being charged for gambling fraud.Two of them were candidates for parliament in Bristol..
I won't get any answers but I still find it disgusting that someone I voted for ,as I admired HIS judgement and always respected it ,was spending our hard earned taxes on a Hungarian Adviser at a time when this constituency had bus routes axed by Dan Norris and no NhS dentists,(which we pay National insurance for).Minister for government efficiency .He could have started by axing special advisor roles,especially foreign ones ..A quick investigation of Legatum reveals it is based in Dubai...As for the "Prosperity "foundation.Well who knows anything about it.Only that in it's blub.The managing director is a former special advisor to the one and only RT Hon Sir Jacob Rees Mogg.!!!Kind regards
I once asked Ian Smith if he had ever considered having a ghost writer on his remarkable memoirs "The Great Betrayal"(I will go to confession,it is slightly dull).It took him 11 years to write."No ,because that would be cheating the reader because then it would not be my words or beliefs" was his reply..He naturally took advice from experts ,who wouldn't if they're sensible .These special advisors are something else ,they are permanently on a government pay roll.
The little children love the Pope Cut-out. He doesn’t criticize, he doesn’t say “No more soda” or “don’t throw fruit in the house” or any other unduly harsh reprimands.
People who are supporting Palestine Action are being arrested in this country by the dozen load ,including an 83 year old priest and facing 14 years imprisonment .The next minute Sir Jacob will be saying we live in a democracy with freedom of speech ,always between fiddling with his cufflinks and his quoffs of Bollinger and Pol Roger.Well done for supporting the French economy instead of Domaine Evremonde as I have .
Perhaps next time you meet the newly ennobled Michael Gove,you can ask him why my Spectator never arrives on time now ? As of this date ,Saturday the 11th July,I still haven't received my copy.Is this because the money is being eaten up by receptions for,as Sir Robin Day would have described them "Here today ,gone tomorrow politicians,".Or is it because the "Royal "mail (It shouldn't even be called that anymore),Is wholly owned by a Czech gangster like the "National "Lottery .? I hope Heydrich and Hitler are having a good laugh wherever they may be.!
I went to Cecil Beaton's garden party last weekend at Lambeth Palace Gardens museum.I had to wait because the bloody lock was broken to the exhibition..Typical of broken Britain.The train coming back was so full people were standing (9 carriages meant to be ,actually 5).I went into first class and refused to pay until they found me a seat (impossible as you couldn't get through the carriages).This country needs a Mussolini not pol roger ,Bollinger sipping corrupt individuals like Mr Heinz 57 varieties Boris Johnson.I thought Sir Jacob Rees Mogg was solving my ISA problem,how the hell am I going to buy my crate of southern comfort .?I suggest respectfully Sir Jacob you look more fearfully at the dire result of the Banes election in your ward,where conservatives only polled 84 votes.(I didn't realize Sir Jacob employed such a workforce).You now have a liberal councillor again,when they are such a complete rotten load .Why ?Answer that in between fiddling with your cufflinks.!!
I well recall writing to Justin Welby ,after he's gone to meet Mugabe many years ago .I stated in the letter ,isn't this a case of one bastard meeting another (People in the know will know what I mean).He had a total failing if good manners and never replied
Jacob recently deleted a comment I made .I was reminded by a ridiculous comment from an American subscriber on a great Italian statesman.That the final straw which brought down the Albino Turk's government was Chris "bum"pincher.Why was this comment deleted and not the usual tripe from a certain quarter.Two tier or what.If both had been deleted fair enough.Like Rishi Sunak's left leg ,it's not right and it's not fair.
To compliment Jacob's diary I would like to finish with an item from my own diary of last week .I had an eye test booked at Specsavers ,I was going to treat myself to a pair of Sir Jacob Rees Mogg Rose tinted specials.On arrival nothing could be done as all the machines were broken !!!!
Sir Jacob needn't worry about contacting Lord Gove with regard to my copy of the Spectator.It's finally arrived.Well worth the wait ,with Jacob's Diary on page 7 and two magnificent reproductions of Wenceslaus Hollars drawings.The first a reproduction of Helena 's ancestor Thomas Wentworth's beheading(Thus is the reward for loyalty to Kings).The second royalists having to flee this country.,namelySir Francis Windebank(windbag?),Sir John Finch,The Lord Digby(ancestor of Pamela Harriman(?).
I was deeply saddened recently ,as was my mother, to hear that Kellogs has been acquired by Ferrero .A household name that is a symbol of America,a beautiful wholesome food ,a unique taste,no supermarket cornflakes compare.Im sure Mussolini would be pleased though.
I'm saddened that Jacob saw fit to delete my comments about the church of England being as bad as the Catholic church for scandals.I apologise for the wording ,I referred to them both as a pile of plop.Welby was no scapegoat at all.The bloke who decamped to Bulawayo was notorious there ,sometimes he'd come into the Salisbury Club,where no one spoke to him due to various rumours.My old friend ,Robert Marple ,now deceased knew him slightly .Robert Marple was a liberal who believed in educating Africans. He had a property overlooking Mugabe's Borrowdale residence.Mugabe even offered him a fair price .Robert refused so Mugabe confiscated it !!It was being built by the Chinese and even had Chinese eaves on it ,it looked so incongruous.
I always follow Jacob's friend William Sitwell 's column in the Daily Telegraph.He wrote an excellent one recently about Wimbledon.In this was revealed that the Marketing chief executive of THE ALL ENGLAND Club is a certain Usama Al Qassab !!!Clearly the name is a misnomer these days.I think another name springs to mind (though the springs are wearing out these days )ENOCH POWELL.
Such an illuminating and enjoyable take of an English point in time. Thank you.

An interesting piece can be found entitled Democracy for sale on Substack by Peter Geoghan !
The little children love the Pope Cut-out. He doesn’t criticize, he doesn’t say “No more soda” or “don’t throw fruit in the house” or any other unduly harsh reprimands.
I wish you a good day, Mr. Phillips.

Like P.G Woodhouse,I hope when the time came you'd sensibly do broadcasts on behalf of the Vichy Government.

If you do get a pig, what Wodehousian name will you give her?
Boris would be suitable
Honoria.
