According to the Daily Mirror newspaper, my crusade to have Joanna Lumley, OBE, appointed DBE has been pre-empted and has, accordingly, become redundant.
A Daily Mirror reporter predicts that Miss Lumley will become Dame Joanna Lumley, DBE, in the 2010 New Year Honours.
Were this to be true, it would mark yet another humiliation for Mr Brown. How many more can the man take?

I wholeheartedly agree. I had the singular pleasure of meeting with Ms Lumley several years ago when she was in Belfast accompanying her husband, Stephen Barlow, who was conducting the Ulster Orchestra. She's one of the most gracious, erudite and beautiful women you could ever wish to meet. Joanna for PM!!
Well said, Leslie!
Tim
