Lord Bonkers' Diary: The nation’s prison governors

With this final postcard from Trescothick Bay, our latest week with Lord Bonkers' Diary draws to a close.

What did become of Freddie and Fiona? What should the Liberal Democrats' new strategy be? Who will win the 2.30 at Wincanton? The answers to these questions will no doubt be revealed when next we visit Bonkers Hall.

My long career in public life has convinced me of an important truth: a man who will cheat at golf will cheat at anything. It was therefore no surprise to me when President Trump – can that really be his name? – pressured the organisers to cancel the suspension of the American team’s star striker at the World Cup. 

It’s beginning to look as though the Reform Party will have to pull a similar trick with the nation’s prison governors in order to field a full slate of candidates at the next election.

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