Ken Dodd

Ken Dodd.A reader writes: Ken Dodd isn’t much like Dodi.Miles Kington writes: No, but Dodd is known familiarly up North as Doddy, and in fact when Diana first started going out with Dodi, most of the North of England thought she was going out with Ken Dodd. Some still do, as a matter of fact, and that headline the other day, “I had Dodi’s baby”, caused a great fuss in parts of Lancashire Any more questions ?A reader writes: No. You can get back to your tired old Valentine Day parodies now.Miles Kington writes: Thanks .. Queen Mumski .. Cheers! Bottoms up! Let’s drink to it .. Whoops! .. love from Boriskins … RICHARD BRANSON I love you I love you I love you! ! from Richard Branson …Continued next year. Bombing Iraq will be immoral, impractical, and unjust Immoral for killing people without justification Impractical because we won’t get all the sites.

Unjust because the rationale stems from an unbalanced political view of the region. This is the last throw of an ineffective UN/US/UK policy. Iraq can easily re-acquire chemical and biological, if not nuclear, weapons after an inspection.
The UK must think and speak for herself, however friendly we may be towards America. We should develop a new policy based on assistance and support for the people of Iraq and a proper military balance in the region.We should realise that sanctions are confirming anti-Western attitudes in the minds of ordinary people in Iraq and in other Middle Eastern states, commence an aid initiative aimed at support and development for Iraq, rather like that undertaken by America and others for Germany after 1945, and take our improved status with the Arabs as an opportunity to help ease tension between the Arab world and Israel, to improve prospects for peace in the region.JOHN DEXTERHythe, Hampshire. Your report “Revealed: the lost prince of the House of Windsor” (11 February) is shocking not simply because Prince John was hidden away because he had epilepsy or because he died suddenly and unexpectedly in 1919 at the age of 13 and was buried `very privately’, but because eighty years on approximately 1,000 people die from epilepsy every year. This is the same as the combined annual mortality for cot deaths and Aids.

A war fought by the Americans has to be packaged first – all the press rights sold, all the advertising sewn up, film rights auctioned off in Hollywood, all the big dealers signed up And the biggest problem is how to brand-name a war Great War was a brilliant name for a war. Can you tell us what’s going to happen?Miles Kington writes: Sure. They can’t declare military action against Saddam Hussein until they’ve decided on a name for the War.A reader writes: A name?Miles Kington writes: That’s right. In large-scale infrastructure projects neither the state nor private capital is superior as financier or manager. But we have learnt the hard way that the state is indispensable, as projector, guarantor and backstop.

Exactly how much the Government should spend on the fast link to the Channel is up for negotiation, but it can and should commit itself now to the principle of full-blooded participation.. My thanks to all those good and great who have taken space in the column this year to send their Valentine’s Day messages. Not only does it bring me a tidy bit of income (and all tax-free!), it also saves me from having to write anything today. So here we go with our Grand St Valentine’s Day Parade!

To Tonytumps – Bombs Awa y! You can come back to our little White House as often as you like! – his little Billikins.
LITTLE Tonykins – my very best wishes for doing everything I asked you to, and more! all my love, as long as you keep doing it! May the Sun keep provisionally shining on you .. RupeSalman .. we will meet again .. I am looking for you the whole time .. I am on your trail .. my aim is true …

from you know who …Darling -Though I am only five foot two, And wear a ginger beard, Although I’m very serious And look a trifle weird, Although I’m going bald on top And wear thick horny specs, It’s lots of love from me to you, Your Ginger Foreign Sex …A reader writes: Dear Mr Kington, Don’t tell me you’re going to fill the whole column with these pathetic mock-political Valentines! Everyone does this, for heaven’s sake! Can’t you do something else.Miles Kington writes: Like what?A reader writes: Well, like turn your attention to some of the serious issues of the day!Miles Kington writes: Like which?A reader writes: Like the impending war with Saddam Hussein. But Mr Branson the blond controller needs policing.Once, when Labour first came to power in this country, the talk was of the state taking over great chunks of private capital. During the Thatcher era, private capital could do no wrong – the best the state could do was retreat We surely now know better. Their ranks include two existing rail franchisees, National Express and Virgin and if, after what has happened, their conduct of their railways is not brought under the closest inspection by ministers, they ought to be. Richard Branson may have emerged from the libel courts a people’s hero; he may be Mr Blair’s most acceptable capitalist face.
