Q:  Why do you feel that John Cleese would need a lot of attention from a wife?

A:  He is getting on a bit, isn't he? He probably wants someone to laugh at his jokes.

Q: I am sure that Cleese does not think of his being a comedian to be his defining identity. His age is irrelevant, and you have said you would consider marriage proposals from men older than him. I actually think there is a political point you could make by marrying him.

Really? He is LibDem and I am ex-BNP.

Q:  I believe you and Cleese could draw up a pre-nup using Islamic marital contracts as a template. Allow the document to be publicly available, thus garnering media attention to your idea. Use Cleese's dreadful experience with alimony from his last ex-wife to support your argument for these contracts.

A:  That is indeed how I would go about it, but first there must be an invitation to treat for matters to proceed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offer_and_acceptance#Invitations_to_treat
It does not have to proceed to completion. Even if negotiations were abortive they would be usefully illustrative.

Q:  I wish to add this: You have said you would consider proposals from men further to the Left than Cleese. You once stating conquering a leftie would be a nice achievement. He has expressed conservative views on culture and immigration. You can make him right-wing with your wiles and persuasion.

A: All right.  I will propose to him on Twitter.

If we do get married our matrimonial home should be called Khawlty Towers.  

Female historians turn history into soap opera, says David Starkey

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/apr/02/david-starkey-henry-viii

They probably do, though I haven't read any books by any female historians lately.

Western society is now morbidly over-feminised, with the worst aspects of the feminine character now manifesting itself: social cowardice, excessive emotionalism, an inability to reason and worst of all, masochism and victimhood.

We now have our Foreign Secretary emoting about how angry, upset and distressed he is by the behaviour of another country and must now be the laughing stock of the world, who will be picturing the British gathering up their skirts in indignation, flouncing off the world stage and slamming the door.

Let us have no more of this stupid girly stuff!

Perhaps we need homosexual men like David Starkey and Peter Mandelson (who are not vulnerable to the crushing toxicity of feminism or in danger of his wife threatening to divorce him and take half his stuff at the drop of a hat) to tell it like it is.

Of course, if Peter and I were to form an alliance, we would sign a very interesting partnership contract indeed. It could well be the model for others too.

It would be worth doing just to test drive my idea of how to safeguard the property of the wealthier partner while doing justice to the less wealthy partner.

My Proposal to Mandy, now compared to Cicero

http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23728374-details/Lord+Mandelson,+in+the+image+of+Roman+orator/article.do

Lord Mandelson is now holidaying in Corfu, yet the press press upon him their further accolades.

Recently compared to Richelieu, the ghost of Cicero is now raised in tribute.

I cannot remember a single British politician who has had such things said about him during his lifetime.

As I have said before, I am willing to sacrifice my privacy and my life to be his consort. While delighted to hear that dear Peter is being compared to Cicero, I believe that it is I who am in fact more Ciceronic through my communications with so many correspondents, and thank the one of who so thoughtfully forwarded me the link above.

Even my awareness of Cicero's sticky end does not deter me in my determination to offer myself to Peter.

I would urge him to consider the concept of the Domestic Partnership outlined in http://thebattlefieldoflove.blogspot.com/search?q=domestic+partnership, which is intended to assist him in formulating what exactly he requires and desires of me.

I am a good conversationalist, enjoying socialising and political intrigue. I believe I genuinely like people and am interested in them. I am also independent, tolerant and the antithesis of the green-eyed monster. While I am aware of his preference for the stronger sex, I like to think that I am a masculine mind contentedly inhabiting the body of a woman who is not without admirers, both male and female ...

I believe that, out of all the people in this country, I am the one most capable of combining my ambition for him in a way that would not be incompatible with the National Interest. My intimate knowledge of the British peoples, their ways of thinking, their social divisions and prejudices, of all classes and political persuasions, their likes and dislikes, is second to none.

As for my colourful past, I am reconciled to it and believe I can justify, explain or excuse most of my misdemeanours and brushes with the law.
