Welcome, friends! As I travel up and down this great land of ours people often tell me that they have come to miss my many wise observations on the great issues of the day. And so, not wanting to let down the people to whom I have devoted my life of service, I have embraced the digital age! So read on and learn! Sir Bingham Collar KBE.

So farewell Hillary.....

Well, Hillary has finally, just about, bowed to the inevitable and suspended her campaign for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States. That is, I believe, one of those irregular verbs at which politicians excel; I suspend my campaign, you run up the white flag, he (or she) humiliatingly bows to the inevitable.


It is a shame, really. She is a fine looking woman and her election would have been seminal moment in the history of the oval office – one to add to the many provided by her husband in that very room.


My niece, Tabby, worked at the white house for a while as an intern after she left university, where she met the great man. I asked her what he was like. “Cocky,” she replied, which was hardly news. She did tell me, however, that he enjoyed a good gossip. Apparently he had the worst tongue in Washington!
