In case you hadn't heard, Lord Black of Crossharbour, the right-wing Canadian media baron who gave up his citizenship to sit in the House of Lords like an overstuffed gilt throw pillow, has been sacked as non-executive chairman of Hollinger, International; which corporation is now sueing the bejeezus out of him for naughtily looting loads of cash from the company while he ran it.
Here is the story, from:
Gosh...This just seems to have hit the newsosphere in the last two hours or so. It is fresh and fragrant, like new bread.
I don't much like Conrad Black, in case you hadn't guessed. I feel a very personal animosity towards him for treating his Canadian citizenship, something some of us would kill (or marry) to have, so cavalierly, so he could wear funny wigs and watch an ancient institution slide into irrelevance and decay.
