Lord Bonkers' Diary: Rupert "Stinker" Murdoch and Wendi Deng

And so another week on the Bonkers Hall Estate comes to an end. Perhaps that is just as well.

Sunday

Did you see those extraordinary comments by Wendi Deng, the former wife of the newspaper magnate Rupert ‘Stinker’ Murdoch? (His first wife, incidentally, was the novelist and philosopher Irish Murdoch.) She was quoted as saying of Tony Blair: “He has really, really good legs, butt.”

I was not convinced at the time and wrote to the headmaster of one of our leading public schools on the subject. This afternoon he telephones to confirm that Deng was talking rot.

Lord Bonkers was Liberal MP for Rutland South-West 1906-10.
