Re: OT Obit - Harold Brooks-Baker
A couple of extracts from today's (8th March) _Daily Telegraph's_ obituary of
Harold Brook-Baker
"his great advantage for journalists was that he was always available to make
an arresting comment; his disadvantage was that he was often wrong."
and
"he was quick to assure the Queen that she would be safe from Islamic
fundamentalism because he had discovered she was related to the Prophet Mohammed."
