On hearing of Lord Monson's two sons' cannabis-related deaths, I cannot help but think of what Lady Bracknell said about orphans: to lose one parent is unfortunate, but to lose both seems very much like carelessness. Is it worse to have a dead disappointing son or a live one?— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) June 28, 2018
It is worth bearing in mind that there was a time when black policemen wouldn't have dared to beat to death the son of a British aristocrat. Perhaps he was suspected of being a sodomite too to attract such lethal violence.— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) June 28, 2018
How much more would you spend on a dead disappointing son who died in police custody arrested on a drug-related offense? How many parents would unhesitatingly say "Nothing at all"? But that would be the most rational thing to do.— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) June 28, 2018
A 28 year old man gone to live with his mother must have been a deeply disappointing son.— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) June 28, 2018
What manner of upbringing can produce two dead disappointing sons both dead from drugs? This is surely something that only happens to the lower orders, not peers of the realm? The nation should hang its head in shame at the internationally infamous degeneracy of our aristocracy.— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) June 28, 2018
Lord Monson on #r4today talks about bruises to his dead son's groin and defensive wounds to his arms triumphant in his "jubilation" saying it is "fantastic" that the policemen who beat his (gay?) son to death on 19 May 2012 would be prosecuted. https://t.co/YmB6bsnBMb— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) June 29, 2018
Was Alexander Monson gay? #r4today https://t.co/yf73izcSV2— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) June 29, 2018
I know @MishalHusainBBC must have thought so too. I would have been tempted to ask a question that would make me sound like Lady Bracknell: "To lose one son to cannabis is unfortunate, but to lose both of them to cannabis seems very much like carelessness." No more sons.— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) June 29, 2018
Certainly not. But was he gay? I suspect the Kenyan policemen who beat Alexander Monson to death must have thought so.— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) June 29, 2018
Sodomy is a felony per Section 162 of the Kenyan Penal Code, punishable by 14 years imprisonment, and any sexual practices between males (termed "gross indecency") are a felony under section 165 of the same statute, punishable by 5 years imprisonment.— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) June 29, 2018
It is quite probable that the Kenyan Police regarded Alexander Monson as a sodomite and a sex offender. Don't you wonder what made them beat him to death?— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) June 29, 2018
To lose one son to cannabis is unfortunate. to lose both sounds very much like carelessness. Don't the British aristocracy trouble themselves much these days about the upbringing of their heir and a spare?— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) June 29, 2018
I note that your late second son is illegitimate. If you wish to campaign against drugs, you could also be campaigning against widespread tolerance of unmarried motherhood leading to a life of drugs and crime in the next generation. This must explain the rise in crime in the UK.— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) June 29, 2018
Do you think the Kenyan police might have thought Alexander was gay? This explains the brutality of their attack against him because I cannot think even British aristocrats are held in such contempt now in Africa that their sons would also be beaten to death in police custody.— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) June 29, 2018
I am quite happy to admit I have no evidence that the Kenyan police beat Alexander Monson to death because they thought he was a sodomite, but knowing what I do of African attitudes towards sodomy, I think this is likely, don't you?— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) June 29, 2018
You may be interested to know that @LordMonson12 is on Twitter. His unfortunate story contains four important social issues affecting this country: tolerance of (a) bastardy (b) fornication (c) sodomy (d) recreational drug use. There is a move to dope us all into submission.— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) June 29, 2018
I have not said that Alexander Monson was beaten to death because he was gay, I only said he was likely to have been beaten to death because the Kenyan police thought he was gay. You seem to want to suppress discussion of this. Why?— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) June 29, 2018
I don't think members of the British aristocracy are held in such contempt that their sons are beaten to death in police custody in African countries, do you? Perhaps Alexander was too ashamed to tell the police his father was Lord Monson even if that might have protected him.— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) June 29, 2018
You asked if he was gay. If he was or not, or indeed if he was seen by police officers as such, is irrelevant. It should not be used by implication, as you've done, to excuse an illegal and immoral act. And to cc his father in, is doubleplus insensitive...https://t.co/HP16nSKJ28— Philip C James (@PhilipCJames) June 29, 2018
Implication of what? What illegal and immoral act do you think I want to excuse? Lord Monson only has 220 followers and is starting a #waronskunk campaign. I think talking about this would gain him more followers and interest in his cause. Alexander died 6 years ago.— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) June 29, 2018
By going on #r4today and on Twitter, it is clear that the "jubilant" @LordMonson12 wants all the publicity he can get. What I am doing will give him the publicity he needs for his #waronskunk campaign.— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) June 29, 2018
I think the kindest and most useful thing to do for @LordMonson12 is to give him the publicity he wants, and this is what I intend to do. #waronskunk— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) June 29, 2018
If one's child died in disgraceful and drug-related circumstances living it up in some tropical paradise, is there much point throwing good money after bad? Shipping the body back and giving it a funeral is the most one ought to do, surely? One might as well just leave it there. https://t.co/yWiLrA50Nu— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) June 29, 2018
I think the best thing to do is tell our children about to go abroad for their "gap year" or whatever is to tell them not to die in disgraceful circumstances. If they do, it is literally "their own funeral". My own dear mother used to say that to me often.— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) June 29, 2018
"Daughter, don't be a raped and murdered slut, and son, don't be a robbed and murdered asshole in someone else's country. Have some respect for other people's country even if you have none for your own. Because, if you ignore my advice, it really is your own funeral."— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) June 29, 2018
You may be interested to know that @LordMonson12 is now following me. Let us hope that he is operating his account himself and not some hired publicist making cowardly decisions on his behalf! PR people are even more cowardly than the politicians they advise.— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) June 29, 2018
All Lord Monson has to do to get his campaign going is to answer questions and start a dialogue on all the issues I have raised. I imagine his publicist will tell him to avoid me like the plague the moment he or she reads https://t.co/bPhBA5rkBF— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) June 29, 2018
To my surprise, I have just discovered that Lord Monson actually wants to legalise cannabis. https://t.co/AOj0ocDwNk #waronskunk— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) June 29, 2018
How to get skunk off the streets? We could execute drug dealers. That is what they do in China. #waronskunk https://t.co/iOyrNvEgcO https://t.co/hbYiG3W4H8— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) June 29, 2018
My feelings on recreational drug use are yet not settled. My libertarian inclinations make me want to only prosecute drug-users if they are intoxicated in a public place while executing those who commit crimes while intoxicated or addicted on a "3 strikes and you're out" basis.— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) June 29, 2018
Is skunk cheaper than the kind of cannabis you used to smoke in your youth, Lord Monson? That would be the kind you would have called "hash" or "grass".— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) June 29, 2018
Only one new Twitter follower after appearing on #r4today Surely some mistake.— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) June 29, 2018
This is because no one listens to #r4today, because Lord Monson doesn't know how to use Twitter or because he went straight back to bed after being interviewed by @MishalHusainBBC The other new Twitter follower Lord Monson acquired since this morning is known to me.— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) June 29, 2018
I’m afraid I don’t agree with you. The BBC r4 Today programme sets the political and news agenda of the today. It is listened to by most of the serious political and news media. It serves a valuable purpose.— csusanclarke (@csusanclarke) June 29, 2018
I think what you really mean to say is that #r4today has a very narrow audience of politicians and presstitutes loyal to the dysgenic Feminist State.— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) June 29, 2018
If you mean, do I think that Nicholas Monson’s interview on this morning’s programme will promote the chances of getting long overdue justice for the murder of his son? Answer: Yes. Hopefully the Kenyan High Commissioner and the FCO heard it.— csusanclarke (@csusanclarke) June 29, 2018
To be honest, I am more interested in whether the Kenyan policemen knew that the Honourable Alexander was indeed the Honourable Alexander and still proceeded to beat him up. This would be a valuable indication of the standing of the British aristocracy in Kenya.— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) June 29, 2018
