The Rt Hon the Countess of Shannon: "One of the greatest mystics of our age" I am intrigued that the Duke of Edinburgh once conferred a honorary doctorate for literature (or "writings") on a woman who describes herself as "a Toltec three-pronged Nagual" - or put simply, "one of the greatest mystics of our time" or even "one of the most profound spiritual...

I was a very proud Mummy this morning.

I bet that she and Prince Philip had a right laugh in private about the nonsense proposed by this ridiculous Prime Minister. Gordon Brown is looking more and more like an autistic Prime Minister. He cannot yet tie a tie, he cannot write fluently, he mispronounces simple foreign words like...
