Bob Piper has been a Labour Councillor for the Abbey
Ward in Sandwell, West Midlands, for 10 years. He is a lifelong supporter of Aston Villa Football Club and a follower of Yorkshire County Cricket Club.
The views expressed here are mine in a personal capacity, not those of the Labour Party, Sandwell MBC, Aston Villa or Yorkshire County Cricket Club. Get it! Mine... just mine!
Sir Mark Thatcher is said to be looking for a house to buy in Guernsey, believing the Channel Islands might shelter him from the vengeful ruler of a small African state who is alleged to eat the brains and testicles of his enemies.
Well, I'm not sure whether Thatcher's testicles will satiate President Teodoro Obiang Nguema's hunger, but I'm bloody sure he wouldn't get more than a thimble full of the rest on his plate.
Sorry, Baht, but I was unaware that the "little sh1t" had broken the law in England. Do tell, perhaps I will consider trying a citizen's arrest, er, so long as you have what it takes to restrain his mother!
He's probably thinking of that island that the Barclay's own. They reckon that it's not under the jurisdiction of the British government or the Crown and for some reason the British and Guernsey governments aren't contesting it giving them de facto sovereignty.
