…..And she described the philosophers’ football match which could not begin because they could not decide whether the ball really existed. The three of them [contributors] agreed there were not enough philosophers who also told jokes, although there is Michael Frayn who is a philosopher and wit.

It was amazing being at the book launch. Stanley not only looks and sounds like Boris but his handwriting is a cunning mirror image too!

I’d just like to say, referring back to a previous post, that when I heard about the Dunfermline Building Society’s difficulties I immediately thought of: “The king sits in Dunfermline town Drinking his blude red wine”…….

I can believe Stanley Johnson was a ruthless spymaster, because he is a bit hard on us. I and every woman of my acquaintance wanted more pictures of the Mayor as an adorable little chub to coo over.

I have just bought the book and am looking forward to reading it. Apparently it is selling extremely well.

One persistent rumour is that two Labour ministers are in fact Stanley Johnson’s assets. With Machiavellian cunning, he is priming them to ruin the Labour Party by controlling them as their puppet master, egging them on to make ever more stupid remarks.

Nothing more is known, except that the ministers are female.

Time, I believe, will reveal that Stanley Johnson actually played a far more crucial role in the history of this country than his book reveals. it is possible that as in the case of his son, Boris, his jovial, careless, happy go lucky persona is actually a front. In Stanley’s case, it is a clever ruse to conceal one of the most ruthlessly effective spymasters of all time. His jokes are actually cleverly constructed codes and anagrams, and I believe it is only when many years have passed, that the full truth will be told.
