One of my favorite monthly reads is the brilliant ‘In Fact’ column in Prospect
October provided the usual range of gems including the brilliant fact that:
“Martha Stewart, Snoop Dogg, Pablo Neruda and Dimitri Shostakovich have all been banned from entering Britain”.
Aside from this being a rather unlikely foursome, more importantly it’s good to know that we can all sleep easy safe from harm knowing Martha Stewart cannot wander lonely (and free) as a cloud across the green fields of Blighty. I find her brand of “life-styling” to be very threatening. Is it just me but I keep waking up with terrible dreams of soft furnishings, neutral tones and pumpkin pie wafting on the soft evening air.
Border Control – I salute you.
