So Colin Port is investigating the charges against the CEOPS head? The same Colin Port who didn’t exactly acquit himself well in the Operation Ore furore?

Re the David Thompson piece, I don’t suppose many will remember the ‘Daily Telegraph’s’ Peter Simple in his heyday, when the column was written by the great Fleet Street journalists, Michael Wharton, and (in its early days) Colin Welch. That column often pointed out that life repeatedly overtakes satire. This is a a superb example of that. I knew Colin Welch, not well, but well enough to have a drink with him and say hallo. I think ‘Peter Simple’ would have been awe-stricken by this Guardian piece, which (I’ve clicked on the link) appears to be genuine.
