Mini-Hariri and Duke of York
A reader sent me this: "While the Lebanon is at the edge of a volcano, its Prime Minister is heading off to Britain to meet the Duke of York? An illiterate, good for nothing, lazy individual with a reputation for accepting bribes and selling his name and 'status' to the highest bidder - using his (...) ex-wife, with whom he lives. The said Duke has no government responsibility, no official function, no role in any decision making - apart from some failed commercial activities. The intense inter-marriages within his family, and his scandalous behavior led to the presumption that he is as dim as his mother!So why is the Lebanese Prime Minister meeting with him? Is he going to charge the Lebanese Government for a deal he is making with the wayward Prince?
