Poison And Vermin.
The Duke and Duchess of Northumberland have Home Office permission to keep a poison garden at their country pile, Alnwick Castle. The plants are so deadly they have to be guarded at all times.
Belladonna and strychnine, hemlock, poison ivy and plenty more besides. They even have magic mushrooms, opium poppies and cannabis plants (try THAT in your council house).
Sadly, nobs with titles who live in castles tend to be Tories, so while they might invite leader of the opposition Michael Howard over for drinks, they are unlikely to give him a "cocktail" that will send him to Hell.
Good news for racists and bigots, bad news for Gypsies, immigrants and ordinary folks that like human rights.
Bad for parents who heard him say, just a few days ago, that the banning of handguns after the Dunblane massacre in Scotland was a mistake, and that he would rather see people with guns taught how to use them responsibly instead.
Right now, sadly, we are hearing of a shooting tragedy in Minnesota leaving at least eight people dead and others injured.
Are we going to witness the arrogant, smirking Howard lecturing President Bush on educating crazy citizens in the responsible use of guns? I doubt it.
